Fruit Ninja Adds Characters, Power-Ups & More




Who knew slicing fruit would have so much staying power? Tiny Australian studio Halfbrick first released Fruit Ninja to the App Store way back on April 20, 2010. Since then the game has received over a half-dozen major updates and has been ported to Android, Windows Phone and Xbox 360 Kinect. Thanks to its flagship fruit slicer (and new mega-hit Jetpack Joyride) Halfbrick is no longer such a tiny studio.

Halfbrick has a variety of tricks up its sleeve to celebrate the game’s two-year anniversary. Most notably, players can grab the title 100%-free just by visiting Halfbrick’s special anniversary website. The company has also announced that Fruit Ninja’s biggest update yet is due out this Thursday. Gamers can already get a sneak peek at the game's new merchants Gutsu and Truffles:




From Gutsu’s new cart of goodies players will be able to purchase three new power-ups: Berry Blast, Peachy Time and Bomb Deflects. All three boosts are purchased with Fruit Ninja’s new Starfruit currency, earned at the end of each gameplay session.

Keep it locked to IGN.com for more on Fruit Ninja’s updates, as well as the continuing adventures of the fat merchant and his pig.
