Not quite meeting that 5 a day quota of fruit and vegetables? Fret no longer; Halfbrick has the answer!
Swipe your finger across the screen to deliciously slash and splatter fruit like a true ninja warrior. Be careful of bombs – they are explosive to the touch and will put a swift end to your juicy adventure!
“Violent and visceral combat. It’s you versus a watermelon,” says Luke Muscat, lead designer. “Who hasn’t wanted to attack a melon with a sword just to see it explode? We’ve captured the awesome feeling of splatty squishiness, and thanks to the hands-on touch controls of the iPhone, you really feel satisfied with the sweet, juicy carnage on the screen!”
Since it’s release last week (April 21) at the App Store, Fruit Ninja has been making it’s way (stealthily) on to iPhones everywhere! So much so that the first update was released today.
Here is what you can expect in today’s free update:
- New fruit: We proudly welcome two new additions to the Fruit Ninja family – Mango and Pear! They can look forward to a short and painful life.
- Multislash: Take to the screen with more than one finger at a time and slash to your heart’s content! – http://www.fruitninja.com/screenshots/image_04.jpg
- High score: Now displayed in-game for you to keep constant track of your best Fruit Ninja score!
- Three new Openfeint Achievements!
- 10 new fruit facts!
- Improved font and background for even more beautiful fruit carnage!
- Collision / bug fixes and improvements!
Juicy!
OMG – this sounds so utterly bizarre and wonderful. Think I’m going to HAVE to try it out …
