Also, thanks for all the kind words everyone! All your comments, feedback and iTunes reviews really help motivate and power the team. Halfbrick is here for the long term for Fruit Ninja, and we have SO much more exciting stuff in store for you guys.
Muscat, could you tell us right now whether or not there's plans for multislice features? I'd understand if the iPod couldn't handle it, but I'd love to know.
Veggie Samurai has it doesn't it? I hope fruit ninja implements it, Veggie Samurais look isn't as appealing to me, not to mention who needs two of these games.
Wow, are you stalking our twitter? I don't have any real details to share right now other than this: I am excited. Also, I want to give away some more codes while old man Phil is out of town. Any idea's for a comp? I was thinking of something along the lines of providing an image of Fruit Ninja, and getting people to draw what kind of crazy blades they would like in future updates. Top 3 picked by the Halfbrick staff would get a code... how does that sound?
Fruit Ninja has been a simple yet great game to play. i got some ideas to add-on to the gameplay, 1) Multislice is nice, after the triple combo, mayb we could slice all 3 again for a combo double 2) add on some legendary blade move, eg. the 'sparrow cut' by sasaki junichiro by drawing 'V', 'buddha slash' or something. When the move has been executed (maybe at least 3 fruits sliced), can add some background shout of the move. Mayb even some custome slash to execute, eg, slice 5 fruits by drawing 'O' is called hurricane cut, things like tat
How bout Invisiblade?!? There's no annoying blade behind your finger obstructing your view!!! Or... Bananablade!!! Maybe Bambooblade... Or Super QuickBlade (Super QuickHook crossover, hook as a blade) <_<
I got 3 ideas for future updates 1. Maybe a fire blade that sets the fruit on fire when you slice trough them 2. Maybe you guys can add concept art to the unlockables (If there is any concept art) 3. You could work with the Minigore team and have furries pop up on the screen and you have people slice them.
Wow, heaps of awesome ideas for some sweet blades! OK, so here's how this next give away is going to go. I'm going to add an image (attached below) which is a template screenshot of the game with a blank white slash. Pull it down into whatever program you like (Photoshop, paint, whatever!) and show me what sort of blade you would like to see in an update! Simply post your blade in this thread to enter. After the weekend, the Fruit Ninja team will pick their favourites and those people will win a code. Dont worry about making it super pretty, we will be judging based off the idea and concept more than the execution, so a mock up of whatever blade you like in paint will be just fine. Enjoy!
It would make the game more fun? And changing the difficulty to accomodate a new feature isn't exactly that difficult to imagine, balancing is key to game design. Hell even if it was just for one mode it would be good.
The Openfeint logo on the icon bugs me. Same with the sheen Apple puts on default at the top. Anyone else?
