When Life Gives You Lemons... chop them up in midair with a huge sword. If life gives you strawberries, watermelons or coconuts, same thing. After all, you are a ninja.Fruit Ninja is a game developed by Halfbrick Studios in which you slice fruit with a virtual sword in a limited amount of time, trying to avoid slicing bombs as you go. Extra points and combos are awarded for slicing at least three fruits with one swipe. There are three main game modes; Classic, Zen, and Arcade. In Classic, players must try to slice all of the fruit and avoid bombs, because the game is over if they miss three of the former or hit one of the latter.However...Lost lives can be restored by reaching multiples of 100 points on their score! A bonus pomegranate randomly shows up that you slice repeatedly for as many points as possible before it explodes. In Zen, no bombs appear, and players aren't penalized for missing fruit, but there is a 90 second time limit. The goal is to slice as many fruits as possible before the time runs out. High scores in this mode will greatly depend on your ability to combo. In Arcade, like Zen mode, players aren't penalized for missing fruit, and there is a time limit, this time being just 60 seconds. Three bonus bananas will appear at random: Frenzy (fruit starts to uncontrollably shoot out from the sides of the screen, and no bombs appear), Double Points (self-explanatory) and Freeze (slows down all the fruit and bombs, and stops the timer). Their effects can be combined (as in, one can get Double Points, then Frenzy, and rack up a massive score). Getting many combos in a row awards you bonus points, and begins a Blitz. During a Blitz, more fruit shoots up at a time and quicker, and every few consecutive combos awards more bonus points. If you don't get a new combo in a few seconds, the Blitz ends. Slicing a bomb takes 10 points off your score, and instantly ends a Blitz if you're in one. At the end, after slicing a bonus pomegranate, you are given three different score bonuses that depend on your performance. This mode was released as a standalone game for Facebook called Fruit Ninja Frenzy.The game was originally released on April 21, 2010 for iOS, then later Android, Windows Phone, Symbian, Bada and PlayStation Vita.

comment
All There in the Manual: Fruit Ninja Origins web-series introduced a proper plot for the franchise. The game now takes place in "Fruitasia", where 4 students (Katsuro, Mari, Han and Nobu) learn the way of cutting Fruit under Sensei's guidance. More appropriately titled Fruit Ninja: Ancient Origins comic book by Keenspot introduces a proper backstory for each character. Some of them, such as Katsuro being a lone urchin, were acknowledged in Fruit Ninja 2.

Characterization Marches On: In his debut, Gutsu the merchant was depicted as a very clumsy character with goofy voice. By the time Fruit Ninja 2 released, he's seen Obfuscating Stupidity more than anything, complete with more muscular build and manly voice.

Chainsaw Good
 Fruit Ninja (Video Game) / int_5caef4ca
comment
Chainsaw Good: Yes, there's a Chainsaw as an unlockable blade which has a higher chance to crit watermelons. This blade was made in response to Mythbusters season 15 episode 4, in which the myth of "Can you easily slice through large amounts of thrown fruit, as in Fruit Ninja?" was tested. After concluding that it was busted using a sword, Jamie tested this using a chainsaw. This is the reason why the effect when that kind of crit is done is styled after the series logo and the blade's background is a blueprint.

comment
Excuse Plot: Exactly why is a ninja cutting up fruits? The only reason (at least originally) given was, "All Ninjas hate fruit!" Subverted by the time Origins became the series' part of identity; All this cutting is explained to be a part of the training to master "Juice Jitsu", a martial art in which fruit gives the power to fight evil.
