Fruit Ninja offers simple yet addictive gameplay that's easy to learn but challenging to master. Here's how to play:

Game Modes

Classic Mode: Slice as many fruits as possible while avoiding bombs. You have three lives - each bomb hit costs one life. The game ends when you lose all lives or miss too many fruits.

Zen Mode: A relaxing 90-second session with no bombs. Perfect for beginners or when you just want to enjoy slicing without the pressure of bombs.

Arcade Mode: An action-packed 60-second round where you aim to get the highest score. Special power-up bananas appear that can freeze time, double points, or trigger fruit frenzies.

Scoring System

  • Each sliced fruit: 1 point
  • Combo slices (multiple fruits with one swipe): Bonus points
  • Critical hits (slicing precisely in the middle): Extra points
  • Special fruits: Varying bonus points
  • Power-ups: Score multipliers or additional time

As you progress, the game speeds up, throwing more fruits and bombs simultaneously, requiring quicker reflexes and better strategic planning of your swipes!

Fruit Ninja features intuitive controls designed for both desktop and mobile play:

Desktop Controls:

  • Mouse Movement + Click and Drag: Slice fruits by clicking and dragging your mouse across the screen
  • Mouse Sensitivity: Adjust in settings for more precise slicing
  • Esc Key: Pause the game

Mobile/Touch Controls:

  • Finger Swipe: Slice fruits by swiping your finger across the screen
  • Multi-touch: Use multiple fingers for complex combinations and higher combos
  • Two-finger Tap: Pause the game

For the best experience, make swift, clean swipes through the center of fruits. Accuracy matters more than speed, especially when bombs are present. You can also click the fullscreen button in the top right to enjoy the game in immersive fullscreen mode.

What's the best strategy for high scores in Fruit Ninja?
Focus on combo slices - wait for multiple fruits to appear close together, then slice through them all with a single swipe. In Arcade mode, prioritize special bananas for power-ups like Double Points and Frenzy. For Classic mode, never rush your slices when bombs are present; it's better to miss a fruit than hit a bomb and lose a life. Practice precise slicing through the middle of fruits for critical hits that award extra points.
What are the different special fruits and what do they do?
Fruit Ninja features several special fruits that grant unique bonuses:
- Banana: Triggers power-ups like Double Points, Freeze, or Frenzy depending on the game mode
- Starfruit: Awards extra points
- Dragonfruit: Appears in special events and grants bonus points
- Pomegranate: Breaks into multiple sliceable segments for combo opportunities
- Special event fruits: Seasonal fruits that appear during holidays with unique effects and point values
How do I unlock new blades and backgrounds?
You earn Starfruit (in-game currency) by playing regularly and achieving high scores. These can be used to purchase new blades, backgrounds, and special effects in the Dojo menu. Each blade and background has different properties and visual effects. Some special items require completing specific challenges, like slicing a certain number of specific fruits or achieving milestone scores in different game modes.

Arcade Mode: A fast-paced 60-second round with special banana power-ups but no game-ending bombs. Focus is on achieving the highest possible score within the time limit.
Multiplayer Mode: Available in some versions, allowing you to compete against friends on the same device or online.
