I understand that, but I was suggesting this as a free play mode, kinda like sandbox mode in ZombieSmash. In that you can also spam weapons and the zombies wouldn't have a chance, but it's still fun rite?? It would be fun to simply be able to slash the fruit and enjoy making those big combos, and no lives so that there's no pressure
I just thought of this. How about a mode so that if you slice the same fruits together in one swipe you get a combo. Like say 2 kiwis, a strawberry, and a watermelon fly up, you slice the kiwis together and get a combo. Then you go for the other fruits getting no combo. ...Or you lose points for mixing fruits, but that might not be as much fun.
I agree I think we should be rewarded for cutting multiple ones in one slice. Maybe you could reward bonus points. I know this might make it easy to get extra points especially if people stick to just trying 2 at a time so maybe you could make it so you only got a bonus if you linked 3 or 4 or higher. Another idea is a challenge mode. Maybe have a mode where it tosses a bunch of fruit up for bit and the goal is to maybe slice 10 bananas without cutting anything else. You could use this same idea to create a number of different challenges people could try to do. Also still having problems with achievements not unlocking. I have Fruit Frenzy for killing 1000 Fruit total and Fruit Blitzh for 500 fruit killed but I don't have Fruit Fight which is only kill 150 total fruit. I also still haven't unlocked the one for scoring 50 and my highest so far is 277. One idea as an improvement is to remove the achievement notifications during gameplay and maybe just show what you unlocked after you lose. Often things are so hectic on the screen you don't have time to read the achievement details anyway so at the end of the game it would be nice to see what you did actually acomplish. Also more achievements are always welcomed, I'm loving the game and would have tons of fun going for more.... assuming they were working and all of course.
Hard modes are always welcome in a game like this. My high is around 350, and while that only took a few minutes, it does start kind of slow. The nice thing about a hard mode is that no one can get mad at you for changing the game. One problem: there does seem to be the occassional fruit/bomb placement configuration where losing lives is almost inevitable, and this can be true quite early -- I have had it happen at 80ish several times. Its not common, but it does happen. You might take a look at your random trajectory selection system and see if you can fine tune it a little. Other suggestions, I am not too sure about since simplicity is certainly a positive. That said, a couple of ideas: (1) fruit coming from the sides or even top might be interesting. (2) could possibly add vegetables as well, pumpkin, etc, which subtract points but dont take a life. (3) fast paced bonus round at 150 or 200 might be fun.
I agree with what Drucifer said. The achievements popping up create lag when on points in the hundreds for me. When I scored 200 points and got the acievement, I lost the last 2 lives from the lag of the achievement popping up. I also think they should go at the end if it's possible. Like he said you also don't have enough time to fully read it.
at the risk of being blasted for not reading the whole thread... has anyone else noticed the game not reading your touch? especially when swiping down near the bottom. I know I'm not missing the screen!
It's fairly easy to guess. I need one more secret achievement. But can't think of another number with significance.
What finger do you guys use to slice fruit? I always use my middle finger. Can't play with any other one.
Anyone want to give hints to the secret achievements? I have two of them, I got the dirty one and I have another one. EDIT: Got another secret achievement but have no idea what the last one might be.
The new update ruined my game! I have an Ipod Touch 3g 3.1.3 32gb and it can't start! Always crashes. If anyone is releasing a fix for this good. First ever game problem I've had so it's unlikely it's my iPod doing this... Was so excited ;( It only shows the logo loading screen then crash..
