Slice and Dice the fruity fruit way

I just recently got hooked in this game where I can be a ninja.. Virtually slicing and dicing everything thrown before me, thinking of ways of how a single slash would turn into a devastating chain for a more powerful combo.. Not holding back, errrr at least if there are bombs haha! I’m talking about this highly addicting game Fruit Ninja!

According to my research it is first released last year on July 14, 2010 for Iphone and Ipad devices. The game was published by Halfbrick Studios and has been a huge hit on the iOS platform and recently it came to Android devices for free.

This game focuses on touching and swiping to complete objectives. You swipe your fingers across the screen to destroy fruits that is tossed to you. If you happen to miss many or you hit the bombs that is also thrown alongside the fruits you lose. The whole idea of the game is simple and is highly addictive. After every game there pops a ninja sensei who provides tips and random facts about different fruits.

There are three game modes:

• Arcade: Slice as much fruit as possible with a 60 second time limit.
• Classic: Slice as much fruit as possible under a three strikes and your out system.
• Zen: Slice as much fruit as possible with a 90 second time limit.

Also, watch out for the Banana power-ups:

•   Red: creates a frenzy of fruits that shoots out from both sides of the screen, it is easier to make high-slicing combo when in this mode.
•    Blue: multiplies the number of points you get for slicing each fruit by 2.
•   White: freezes the screen and slows the fruit rising to make It easy to target for a combo.

You can unlock items if you complete the following requirements in Sensei’s swag:

Bamboo Shoot (Blade): Play a full game of Zen Mode every day for 5 days.
