Fruitbox Frenzy [Survival challenge]

Archive: 5 posts


Avoid a myriad of falling fruit as you dash for points, bonus points awards for how long you survive.

Its a simple survival challenge that increases as time goes on

Level 1: fruit drops from a slow moving line
Level 2: some of the barriers protecting you disappear, the fruit moves faster
Level 3: the fruit now fires in random directions, it moves even faster
Level 4: you will now be bombarded with peaches as well, they will knock you around and generally annoy you

Aim for the highest score!

(seeing as this is only a minigame I'll only do 3 F4f's)

Okay, I had some time and was flipping down the pages of the showcase to make sure no one was left out. Came across this survival challenge level.

Now, Mrgengi - as you know I'm already a fan of your "Heist" level, but I'm not usually a big fan of this kind of game.

However, this was REALLY fun. Cute, pretty, and a lot of hidden depth there.

I played it several times before I understood the strategy. But once I did, I was able to survive for a while and enjoyed it (picked up the #2 spot on the leaderboard!).

Pros:

+ Very pretty, smooth movement, enough little surprises happening during gameplay to keep it fresh throughout (such as suddenly throwing a piece of benign fruit at you in the middle of the game while you're trying to dodge dangerous fruit).

+ Humorous to watch (the banana hitting me was a really funny surprise).

Cons:

- COULD be frustrating for a first-time player who may dismiss it and not realize there is some depth (the first time I played it I just thought dangerous fruit was dropping and I just huddled in a corner hoping it didn't hit me). I'm honestly not sure what you can do about this however... I guess just word of mouth that people should give it a chance a couple of times.


Anyway, once again - nice work!

If you get a chance, I would love your input on my "Splat Invaders Saga" showcase thread. If you read it you'll see we're having a good ol' time and I'd love to have you included!

aww ccubbage thanks, and here was me thinking I was forgotten

I'm glad you enjoyed it, especially the banana - I was worried people would just get annoyed at that (it was actually suggested by my friend, but I thought it was hilarious)

any of your levels in particular I should look at - or should I just go a head and take a peak at splat?

Check out "Splat Invaders Saga". Theres actually 3 splats, but Saga is both the other 2 games plus an entire story mode.

By the way, love the accent!
