Fruit Ninja is the messiest and most satisfying fruit game ever!
Reviewed by windy
Ninjas are the sworn enemy of fruit. They have dedicated their lives to snuffing out any and all sources of vitamin C with their lethal blades. Seriously, that's the whole story behind Fruit Ninja, a wonderful single-minded game from Half Brick.
Fruit Ninja is an
action-arcade game. Playing Fruit Ninja, the player slices fruit with a blade controlled via a touch pad. As the fruit is thrown onto the screen, the player swipes their finger across the screen to create a slicing motion, attempting to slice the fruit in half. Extra points are awarded for slicing multiple fruits with one swipe, and players can use additional fingers to make multiple slices simultaneously. Players must slice all fruit; if three pieces of fruit are missed the game ends. Bombs are occasionally thrown onto the screen, and will also end the game should the player slice them.
Zen Mode Guide
Fruit Ninja Zen mode allows players to seek high scores without the hindrance of bombs appearing on the screen. Also available is an Arcade mode in which players have only sixty seconds to achieve a high score. Special bananas are added to the standard fruit which have unique bonuses such as doubling points scored for a limited time, increasing the amount of fruit on the screen, or slowing down the movement of all fruit for a short period of time.
Multiplayer Mode Guide
In Fruit Ninja, multiplayer gameplay allows for competitive gameplay and features leaderboards and achievements. During multiplayer matches the player's blade and fruit are highlighted in blue, while the opponent's are highlighted in red. White outlined fruit are considered neutral and may be claimed by either player. White outlined fruit are worth three points. Players must sliced their own fruit while avoiding their opponent's fruit.
