Many of you are probably familiar with Fruit Ninja, the popular OpenFeint game which was brought to Android in September. Are you itching to slice and dice some virtual fruit, but are weary about dropping a buck to do so? If so, then Fruit Slice may be the app you’re looking for.
The object of the game, for those of you who may not be familiar, is to chop as many of the flying fruit as possible to gain points. You also gain additional combo points when you slice multiple pieces of fruit at the same time.
There are two different styles of gameplay: classic, and time mode. In classic, the object is to chop as many fruit as possible, but to also avoid the bombs that randomly get thrown up with the fruit. If you slice a bomb, it’s game over. Also, you’re only allowed to let two pieces of fruit go unsliced, because if you miss three, again the game is over.
There is also a time mode, in which the object is to get the highest number of points possible within the time limit. There’s no penalty for missing fruit, so really the goal is just to slice and dice as fast as you possibly can, and to get the most amount of combo points.
Once the game is over, you are given the option to retry, or to submit your score to an online leaderboard. Fruit Slice doesn’t have QUITE the social gaming features that Fruit Ninja does, however, having a basic leaderboard is still a nice option for users.
In terms of actual gameplay, it’s pretty comparable to Fruit Ninja. It’s very responsive to the touchscreen, the graphics are smooth, and the sound effects align with the gameplay. This is a great alternative to Fruit Ninja, and best of all, it’s free. So, if you wanna get your virtual fruit slicing on, hit up the link below to download Fruit Slice for Android today.
