Players have three chances to miss by not cutting the fruit, but the game will end as soon as the bombs are hit. Every time you accumulate 100 points, you will automatically replenish your previous lost chances. This mode will randomly appear pomegranate (cut to add points, the score depends on the speed of the player cut), dragon fruit (cut can be +50 points) and popcorn (cut +150; 175; 200 points, the score is random).

Time limit mode (icon is apple): also known as time mode or zen mode, timing time is 90 seconds, no bombs, only fruits will keep appearing, players rely on skills to slice as many pieces of fruit as possible, there is a certain chance of popping up from the left and right side of the screen is very difficult to cut novelty fruits.

Arcade mode (icon is banana): In arcade mode, fruits and bombs will appear at the same time, the timing is 1 minute, the purpose of this description is also to get more points, cut to a bomb will not lead to the end of the game but deduct 10 points and reduce the time. There are three different special bananas in this mode - Ice Banana (blue + white freeze banana) can make time pause and significantly slow down the flight of fruits; Double Banana (blue + yellow double banana) can double the score of cutting out in a short time; Frenzy Banana (red + yellow frenzy banana) can make a large number of fruits from the screen Both sides of the screen constantly fly out. In addition, you have to dodge bombs in this mode. You can get extra points for strikes when you have enough combos. And there are bonus points at the end of the game.

Operating Tips

1. Keep your finger in the middle of the screen, where most of the fruits can rise to the top, and keep your finger here to cut more straightly and continuously.

2. If you see a bomb mixed in the middle of the fruit, be sure to wait until the bomb drops and separates before cutting.

3. It is recommended to cut horizontally rather than vertically, because the phone screen is horizontal, most fruits are round, and most of them are arranged in groups from left to right. Arc cutting tends to cut to more fruits, can get more combos, but also requires more skills, mastering bad will cut to the bomb and will also be recorded as multiple cuts.

4. Arcade mode can cut multiple bananas at the same time, the effect will not cancel.

5. If a bunch of fruits are thrown up at the same time, cut the smaller fruits first, because they fall faster and need to be cut more accurately.

In the real-life world, you can't see the light and shadow of the sword, but in Fruit Ninja you can create your own different lines of white light or other special effects, how the finger on the screen, there will be how the sword shadow, completely by the player play. Once the light of the knife appears, accompanied by the sound of waving the knife. If the knife is waving in the air, it will make that low sound. And once the game's knife touches the fruit, immediately hear the bursting sound of cutting the fruit, and the sound of juice splashing. Very realistic, very exciting.
