Last is a garden where you can plant seeds and wait a while for them to grow into fruit which you can then harvest for more rewards and goodies.
The armory is where you can edit your character, equip different blades that have new swiping animations, as well as select and upgrade power-ups and other things. Other places you can visit include a shop where you can purchase items and upgrades with the in-game currency, or buy things with real money, too. It can be kind of hard to tell which is yours sometimes, though. You must slash the most fruit, but only the ones highlighted in your color. There are also multiplayer modes as well where you go against another person online. Fruitar Hero is like a music rhythm game where you must swipe fruit in certain directions as it passes a line. Classic plays like the original Fruit Ninja where you must avoid bombs entirely or it’s Game Over. You can also try Zen mode, where it’s just you slicing fruit without having to worry about bombs. These including slicing fruit and avoiding bombs in grids, sliding down chutes, and more. There are also mini-games that you can play by using special tickets. You’ll want to really use these powers as much as possible, because it can really increase your score. These include a vortex to suck in fruit to one spot, one that makes fruit really big, or a wave to send a bunch of fruit on the screen. You can also unlock power-ups that you can equip and activate at any time. You do want to slash special striped fruit, though, because they can temporarily slow down fruit and other things. Avoid slashing bombs because they can break your combo streak, subtract some points, and eliminate any uncut fruit on screen. Here you have a limited time to slash as much fruit as possible. The main mode you’ll play will probably be Arcade Mode. You don’t get much to start, but you can unlock and buy characters and outfits as you play. The first thing you’ll do is create a ninja character for others to see in multiplayer modes.
Use your finger to swipe at the touch screen to cut flying fruit in half, and do this a bunch to get a high score. Gameplay is pretty much like the first game.
You might’ve even had it for free pre-installed on your first smart phone! I think it was one of the first mobile games I saw at PAX, and I even reviewed an educational game based on the franchise a few years ago! I’ve even seen versions of this game in arcades! And now it’s finally getting a sequel! (reviewed on iPad here) While it may not have movies like Angry Birds, or TV commercials like Candy Crush, Fruit Ninja is still one of the most popular early mobile games.
