Chapter 1 – Introduction of Fruit Ninja

Now, you might already know about Fruit Ninja. But if you don’t know about it, here is its quick introduction.

Fruit Ninja is actually a video game and it was developed by Halfbrick. In 2010, it was released for iPhone devices and in just a little time, it was released for other Android OS devices as well. This game allows players to slice fruits which are thrown into the air just by swiping the touch screen of the device with their finger.

The game features multiplayer, leaderboards, and several gameplay modes. Fruit Ninja consumes approximately 150MBs on mobile phones. You can install the game from the store of any device that you are running as it is compatible with the game.

Gameplay of Fruit Ninja

As soon as you open the game, you are first asked to insert your age be swiping your finger on the bar. You can tell choose your age before proceeding. It appears after the sign of Halfbrick on the screen. After waiting for only a few seconds, you will get to the part where you have to tell your age.

Then, you will see the developer sign again before you get to the real game. In the game, you get various levels but only the first level is unlocked: Arcade.

Arcade is the only level unlocked while the other levels are locked, which means that you have to clear the first level before you can play other levels.

In Fruit Ninja, fruits are sliced by a player with a blade which is controlled through the touch screen. As fruits are thrown up, the player swipes their fingers or just a finger across the screen for creating a slicing motion which allows him to slice the fruits in half. It is important for players to swipe each and every fruit because if they miss three fruits, the game ends but up scoring high, the player will gain an extra life. In addition to it, bombs are thrown up and they will end the game if the player slices these bombs.

Actually, when the second anniversary was celebrated by Halfbrick, an update was released by it with a new feature referred to as Gutsu’s Cart. It comprises two characters, Gutsu, a human, and Truffles, a pig. By playing different modes in the game, players can earn points and can then purchase items from the cart.

Actually, there are three items which can be purchased and used in the game: a player is given five points with Berry Blast and it makes sliced strawberries explode. Peachy Times is another item and it awards the player with an additional two points when the player slices a peach.

Bomb Deflect is the third item which allows the player to shield from and deflect Bombs which have been sliced. In addition to it, after each game, starfruit can be obtained by slicing the semi-rare fruit, which is proportional to the score. When the fifth anniversary was celebrated, another update was released in which Gutsu’s Car was removed and a power-up menu replaced it which used starfruit for purchasing the three power-ups in the game.

Second Chapter – Game Mode Instructions of Fruit Ninja

As explained above, there are three basic modes which are available to players that they can play. Classic is the most basic one and it is also the only level which is unlocked. As soon as you enter your age, you will be taken to the actual game in which you will see a number of circles with modes written in them. The first one is classic and you will see that watermelon is in the circle. There are many other modes that you might want to try but in order to unlock them, you have to play this mode first.

If you wait long enough, you will see a simulated hand swiping at the watermelon. It is indicating that in order to start the game, you need to slice the watermelon in the classic circle. When you slice the watermelon, the screen will disappear and a wooden background will replace it.

A character named Katsuro will appear and he will tell you to open the blade list for selecting the blade that you want to use. There will also be a tab in which you will see the basic blade that you have equipped. This is the default blade and in order to change the blade, you will first have to earn points and unlock them.

Next, the character will tell you to choose the Dojo where you want to play. The wooden dojo is the basic one. After that, you will be asked to select the power-ups that you need. I suggest refraining from using these power-ups as soon as you start because at first, you don’t have the necessary information to use them best in the game. You can use the power-ups in the mode once you have played it a few times. Lastly, you will be asked to slice the watermelon again for starting the classic mode.

Once you do that, you receive a countdown in which it is written that if you slice a combination of fruits, you will get a higher score. It also tells you that you should not slice the bombs or miss fruits because it will end the mode. Once the countdown hits 0, the mode begins and fruit is thrown up.

On the top right corner, there are three crosses which indicate how many fruits you have missed while on the top left corner, you can see a half watermelon with a zero score. As you slice the fruits, the score will increase. If you do not miss any fruit for a short time, you get special scores in the form of Critical. It awards you ten points and you get it again if you continue to score without missing a fruit.

As you continue to slice fruits, you will be introduced to a pomegranate. It is not a common fruit and as soon as you slice it, you will notice the time slowing down. It is because this fruit is quite special. The slowing down of time indicates that you can slice it as many times as you can without stopping. For example, if you manage to slice it 20 times, it will earn you twenty points in just that short span. How good is that?

By slicing the pomegranate various times, you can earn lots of points in a short amount of time. However, the classic mode is not limited to just this.

You will notice that as you continue to advance in the game and near a hundred points, bombs will become more frequent. Instead of just appearing after a short while, they will appear every now and then and in between fruits, which serves to make it difficult for the player to avoid them.

However, you have to avoid these bombs and ensure that you are cutting only the fruits. Once again, as you score without hitting a bomb, you will get an extra ten points. Critical is a type of award which you get when you continue to play in an efficient manner. In addition to it, you might notice some banners popping up from the top with little trophies. Actually, these are the achievements that you get when you get awards and score.

Since the pomegranate is introduced every now and then if you continue to play, you are again given the chance to land sold twenty to thirty hits on it and earn all the additional points that you can without any difficulty.

Once you get a high score in the classic mode, you are able to level up quickly. In fact, in your first try, you can level up and get to the second level. Leveling up has some perks which you will certainly enjoy. For instance, as you advance to the second level, Zen Mode is unlocked and you can play in that mode as well.

Zen Mode of Fruit Ninja

After reaching the second level, you will notice the lock on Zen Mode breaking itself. It means you can slice the apple for playing in Zen.

Now, Zen mode is quite different from Classic mode. In fact, it has a completely different set of rules. First of all, there is a timer set in this mode of just a minute and a half. At this time, you have to score and beat your previous score.

Cutting each fruit awards you only a single point and you have to continue slicing to earn points. You will notice that there is not even a single bomb in this mode. It is true that this mode is like a simple one in which you thrive to beat your previous score within the specified limit.

Similar to the Classic mode, if you score high in this level, you will advance to the third level and it will some significant perks with it. For instance, it will unlock three different blades. Meanwhile, if you advance to the fourth level, it will unlock the Arcade Mode.

As you play the Zen Mode, you will notice that you are given the opportunity to hit combos in this mode as well. It might come in the form of different fruits but you are certainly given the chance to make combos in this mode as well.

In addition to the combos, you will notice starfruit on the screen. You will also notice that it will have a yellow colored glow around it. Actually, it indicates that this fruit is quite special and slicing it will provide you with more score. If you slice the starfruit, it will award you an additional of 75 Bonus Points.

As you advance and continue to play the Zen Mode, you will notice that new types of fruit will also enter and slicing them will allow you to gain even higher scores. For instance, if you slice a glowing strawberry, it will award you an additional of five points. Then there is an Ultra Rare Fruit which provides you with an additional 50 points and you are able to get these points by just slicing the fruit.

Other than just gaining fruits which allow you to gain extra points, you get special peaches as well. If you cut a Glowing Peach, it will offer you an additional 2 seconds in the Zen Mode.

Another significant advantage of Ultra-Rare Fruit is that when it is tossed up and you slice it if it is not cut in a half, it means you are still awarded a point. It also means that you can just continue to slice it and earn as many points as you want. Still, there will be a point when this fruit will be sliced in half and it will give you 50 more points. However, it is important to note that in such a situation, these fruits tend to be jumpy and you have to avoid missing them or else you are not awarded additional points.

Arcade Mode of Fruit Ninja

As you advance to the Arcade Mode, you will notice that you get new power-ups and you have different blades to choose from as well. In this mode, rules are different and it is quite different from Zen Mode.

As soon as you slice Arcade Mode, you will notice some instructions popping up. It will guide that you should not miss special bananas and you should also focus on getting combos for scoring high. It also tells you that if you slice a bomb, it will serve to deduct your score. You will 10 points if you slice a purple bomb.

As you slice fruits, you will notice that you are awarded Critical in this mode as well. It will award you 10 points.

As you make a combo, you get in the Combo Blitz mode in which you are awarded significantly for slicing combos. While playing, you will notice a Yellow Banana with Orange Stripes. If you slice it, you will get in the Frenzy mode. In the Frenzy mode, fruits are not thrown up from the bottom but from the sides in the form of several packets. It means that you are given the opportunity to make lots of combos and score significantly. In the Frenzy mode, if you continue to make combos, you are again awarded a Critical. In addition to it, if you slice a Starfruit, it gives you an additional of 200 bonus points.

Although bombs are not thrown up at the start of this mode, you will notice bombs being throw up in a combination with other fruits. You have to avoid these bombs or else you will experience a loss of ten points in your score with each bomb. In the Combo Blitz, if you slice another orange striped banana, you will again enter the Frenzy mode and if you continue to make combos, the blitz will continue as well.

In this manner, you will score significantly. Pomegranate is thrown at this level as well and you already know that you can slice it multiple times. As many cuts you make, you are awarded the same points. It is up to you to make as many slices as you want. If you do not hit any bomb in the level, you will get a bonus of 10 points for it and there will be bonus for some other acts as well. Your bonus will be added to your score and if your score is sufficient, it will allow you to advance to another level, which means that you will advance to the fifth level in no time.

Another special banana in the Arcade Mode is the frozen one. If you slice the frozen banana, it will freeze time for you. Although it will freeze the time, it will not stop the flow of fruits for you. It means you can continue to score in this mode as well. There is just one drawback of this banana and that is the flow of fruits if slowed as well. Fruits are thrown at a slow speed than before which means that you have to heighten up your slicing speed to ensure high scores.

There is yet another special banana which is blue and yellow striped. If you slice this banana, it will allow you to enter the Double Point Mode. In this mode, whenever you slice a fruit, you are awarded double for it. Just imagine getting an Ultra-Rare Fruit in this phase!

Third Chapter – Game Scoring Rules of Fruit Ninja

In this chapter, I will discuss the scoring rules of Fruit Ninja. Actually, scoring rules are quite different for each mode. For instance, scoring rules might be different from rules in Arcade Mode than in the Classic Mode. Still, there are some general scoring rules as well in this game. I will discuss them all.

General Points of Fruit Ninja

Combos of Fruit Ninja

If you hit a 4-fruit combo, you will get 5 points while if you hit a 5-fruit combo, you will get 10 points. If you hit a 6-fruit combo, you will get 20 points. Meanwhile, if you hit a 7-fruit combo, you will get 30 points. If you hit an 8-fruit combo, you will get 40 points and 50 points if you get a 9-fruit combo, which is quite tough to get.

If you get a 10-fruit combo, you are awarded 55 points. Combo Rookie gives you 10 points, Combo Apprentice gives you 15 points, Combo Assassin gives you 25 points, Combo Master gives you 35 points, and Combo God gives you 50 points.

Bombs of Fruit Ninja

If you do not hit any bombs then you are awarded 10 points while if you hit at least 3 bombs, you are awarded 50 points for it.

Fruits of Fruit Ninja

If you slice the same fruit when you begin and when you finish the game, you will get 25 points for it. If you do not slice any type of banana in the Arcade Mode, you will get 50 points for it while 10 points if you slice all types of bananas. If you slice only Frenzy bananas out of all types of bananas, you will be awarded 30 points and the same score applies to Double bananas and Freeze bananas. If you do not let any type of fruit drop, you will get 50 points and if you slice only strawberries, you will get 100 points for it.

Multiples of Fruit Ninja

If you get a score divisible by five, you will be awarded 10 points for it. You will get 20 points if you get a score divisible by ten. If you get a score which is divisible by a hundred, you will get 40 points.

Tasty Fruit gives you 5 points, Fruit Mix gives you 5 points, Fruit Salad gives you 5 points, Juicy Slicing gives you 5 points, Delicious Fruit gives you 5 points, Triple Digits gives you 50 points, and It’s so Beautiful gives you 75 points. You get these points when you equip the Rainbow Blade.

Classic Mode of Fruit Ninja

Scoring rules in the Classic Mode are quite simple. For instance, if you slice fruit, you are awarded a point for it. As you continue to slice fruits, you are awarded Critical which means that you get an additional of 10 points. You are awarded Critical a number of times as you place and continue to slice fruits. As I have explained above when you continue to slice fruits, you will be introduced to a pomegranate. It is not a common fruit and as soon as you slice it, you will notice the time slowing down. It is because this fruit is quite special. It will allow you to land various slices and cuts on the fruit. You get as many points as you land cuts on the fruit. For example, if you are able to slice the fruit twenty times, you will be awarded 20 points for it.

As you land combos in this mode, the same scoring rules will apply. For instance, if you hit a 5-fruit combo, you will get 10 points. An important point to remember in this mode is that as soon as you cut a bomb, it will finish the game.

Zen Mode of Fruit Ninja

As soon as you begin the Zen Mode, you will notice that it is not like the Classic Mode. In fact, it is quite different. For starters, there is a time of 1:30 minutes and you have to score in this limited time.

The same scoring rules apply to this mode as well. For example, if you slice fruit, you are awarded a point for it. In this mode as well, the scoring rules for combos stay the same. If you land a 5-fruit combo, you are awarded 10 points for it. In the Zen Mode, if you get the Ultra Rare Fruit, you will get 50 points. Meanwhile, if you notice that it has bounced up and has not been sliced, you can land as many slices as you want on it. It will continue to earn you points. However, you have to make sure that you do not let this fruit slip away because it is quite a jumpy fruit and slicing it is quite difficult.

In the Zen Mode, you will also special peaches which will allow you to boost your timing to an additional of 2 seconds. Similarly, you are given strawberries and if you slice them, you are allowed to get an addition of 5 points.

Arcade Mode of Fruit Ninja

In general, Arcade Mode is quite different from Zen Mode and Classic Mode. For instance, if you continue to land combos in this mode, you enter the combo blitz mode which allows you to add more combos and score additional points for all the combos that you make.

In this mode as well, you have a timer which gives you only 1 minute to score and now it is up to you to utilize this time to score the highest that you can. Although a single fruit gives you only a single point, you are given the opportunity to slice the special bananas and enter special modes which allow you to score even more. For instance, there is a Double Score Banana, Frenzy Banana, and Freeze Banana which allow you to enter special sub-modes in which you can score a lot.

You should note that you are given Pomegranates and Ultra Rare Fruits in this mode as well. You already know about how they let you score a lot by just slicing them.

Fourth Chapter – How to Get High Scores of Fruit Ninja

In this chapter, I am going to let you know about cheats, hints, and tips that you can use to get high scores in Fruit Ninja.

1.      No Need to Purchase Starfruit with your Money

In Fruit Ninja, starfruit is the fundamental currency and you can use this currency for purchasing boosts and other types of tools. Actually, it is one of the few games which need to purchase in the game for advancing. The majority of objectives are quite easy to accomplish and they can help you in gaining a lot of starfruits. In addition to it, you can also watch short advertisements for earning starfruits and purchasing boosts. Overall, this is how you can earn starfruits without using your own money.

2.      No need to Use Long Swipes with Bombs Near

Another tip is that you should not use long swipes in the arcade mode while bombs are around fruits. Whenever bombs are near, you should try brief and short swipes as they can help you in avoiding bombs and scoring high. One of the main issues about Arcade Mode is that you have to experience bombs and slice fruits while avoiding them.

When you are playing a mode in which you have to avoid bombs, you should use short slices. Obviously, when you use short and brief swipes, you will be able to avoid cutting the bombs. Instead of cutting bombs, you will be capable of scoring high. It is true that you need to score high but you should make sure to avoid bombs because they can take away your scores. In the Classic Mode, if you swipe a bomb, it will even end the game.

3.      Consider Peachy Times in Zen and Arcade Modes for Boosting Your Score

Actually, Peachy Times is quite a useful power-up if you have a thing for arcade mode. If you find this mode more interesting and fun than other modes, you will certainly come to like the use of Peachy Times in it. Each peach allows you to enjoy an extra 2 seconds. Although it does not seem like a lot of time, when you tend to make combos, you will find this time enough to score high. In fact, if you have a combo blitz going on, two seconds can make quite a large difference.

Therefore, when you are playing in Arcade mode, you should consider using Peachy Times for scoring high.

4.      Use only a Single Finger

I know that there are some guides out there that tell you to use two or three fingers for slicing fruits to get a high score. It is not true at all. I have plenty of experience with Fruit Ninja and I know that using two or three fingers is not effective at all. In fact, it serves to only eat away your time and nothing else. It does not allow you to score high. When you are using two or three fingers, your aim is missing and you are unable to land even a single combo.

Meanwhile, if you are using just a single finger, your aim is precise and you can easily hit a combo without any difficulty. In addition to it, you can land several combos quickly if you are using a single finger. Just hold your device flat or place it on a flat surface and swipe with a single finger. Believe me, it will be more than effective.

5.      Play Upside Down

Have you ever considered playing upside down? If not, then you should try playing upside down because it works quite fine for some people because technically, fruits appear from the bottom and they go up. It is not the best strategy but it can work incredibly well for people who want to score quickly. However, it is important to remember that playing upside-down prevents you from avoiding bombs because you do not have enough time to identify bombs and dodge them.

6.      Slice Multiple Bananas of Fruit Ninja

One of the most powerful ways of scoring high is to slice multiple bananas in Arcade Mode. For instance, as I have told you before, there are three types of bananas which are introduced in the Arcade Mode. Each banana has its own function. For instance, if you are doing combos in the Frenzy mode, you will notice scoring higher than before. While doing that, if you slice the Freeze banana, it will freeze the time and will also enable you to hit more combos. Just think about all the possibilities!

It will allow you to hit more combos then you have ever hit. If you have not tried it yet, you should definitely check it as soon as possible. You might not get the chance to hit multiple bananas in your first attempt but you can certainly get it and hit combos.

7.      Don’t Miss Berry Blasts of Fruit Ninja

There are several times when you are given berry blasts and upon slicing, they can award you with 5 points each. For example, if you slice a berry, it will give you 5 points. If you continue to slice them every now and then, you will earn a lot of points. In the end, it will add a significant score to your overall score. Thus, it would not be wrong to say that it is one of the simplest ways of scoring high in the game.

8.      Complete your Objectives of Fruit Ninja

In Fruit Ninja, completing objectives is actually another simple method of racking up starfruit. As I have told you above, starfruit is the main currency in the game and as you complete the objectives, you will earn a significant amount of starfruit. Some of the objectives might need you to purchase powerups for completing them. However, they do not cost you a ton and they are quite fun to use. I have never paid to skip any type of objective and it costs a lot of starfruits.

Instead of skipping objectives and even paying for it, you can just complete the objectives and earn starfruit. This is one of the simple methods of earning starfruit. You can just keep the track of objectives and complete them accordingly.

9.      Purchase Blades of Fruit Ninja

In Fruit Ninja, there are plenty of blades available to you. However, you have to purchase them to use these blades. You might think that these blades have no real purpose and they are just for the show. Actually, it is not like that. There are different blades and they have their own benefits. For instance, if you purchase the Old Glory blade, it will allow you to pinpoint a number of fruits and they will be highlighted with a ring around them. In addition to it, their descent will be slowed down.

There are several items which are affected by it. The affected items include starfruit, pomegranates, Peachy Time, Gutsu’s Crates, Golden Dragon Fruit, Ghostly Traps, Frenzy Bananas, Freeze Bananas, Dragon Fruit, Double Point Bananas, and Berry Blasts. All of these items are highlighted by the blade and they are slowed down so that you can slice them easily. There are many other blades which are available in Fruit Ninja and they have their own special powers.

10.  Purchase King Dragon Dojo

Another incredible method of earning high scores is to purchase King Dragon Dojo. It is quite a special dojo and it is different from the rest of the dojos as well. For instance, it allows you to slice the Golden Dragon Fruit which is yet another special fruit. It awards you 50 points and if it is not sliced, it gives you the opportunity to slice it several times to earn as many points. This is yet another way through which you can get a high score.

11.  Slice Fruits on the Top

As you continue to play Fruit Ninja, you will come to know some certain aspects of it. For instance, you will come to know that when fruits reach the top of the screen, they become quite slow. In addition to it, it also gives you a fine opportunity to land a combo. Thus, when you are playing in any mode, you should try to swipe when fruits reach the top of the screen. This is the perfect time for landing combos and scoring high.

12.  Let the Fruit Drop

It has happened to me numerous times before I came over it. In the Classic Mode, there are times when you are faced with the choice of either dropping the fruit or slashing a bomb. In such a situation, it is important to know that losing a life is better than losing the game. If you are facing a situation when you either have to let fruit go or slice the bomb, you should just let the fruit drop. It will give you the chance to continue scoring. Moreover, as you continue to pay in the mode without dropping any other fruit, you will notice that one life is recovered.

Thus, when you are playing the Classic Mode, you should not be afraid of losing a life. Just remember that it is a lot better than losing the whole game by slicing a bomb.

13.  Listen of Fruit Ninja

As I explained above, as you continue to play the game, you get familiar with some specific things and aspects. For instance, if you play the game with its sound turned on, you will be able to differentiate between fruits and bombs. In fact, a time will come when you will be able to notice that a bomb is going to come up and you can easily avoid slicing the bomb. This also allows you to earn a high score because you lose points when you hit a bomb either in the Classic Mode or in the Arcade Mode. By turning on the sound, you can differentiate between bombs and fruits. In fact, it is quite a simple tactic.

14.  Focus on Pomegranate

In the previous sections as well, I have explained that pomegranate is quite a special type of fruit. If you slice this fruit, instead of awarding you with only a single point, it awards you a lot of points. However, it is important to remember that you need to slice it a couple of times to earn several points. For example, if you want to earn 20 points then you need to slice it twenty times as well. As many times as you will slice it, you will earn the same number of points.

It is quite an effective method of earning high scores. By just slicing the pomegranate a couple of times, you can just earn several points.

15.  Use Autumn Gust Blade for Slicing Fruits

I will explain it in the coming chapter that you can unlock the Autumn Gust Blade when you reach Level 27. This blade tends to generate tornadoes which are capable of sucking in fruits for a few seconds whenever you slice a pineapple. This blade makes it quite easier to rack up high combinations for getting higher scores with this blade as it seems to group fruits together. The tornadoes which are generated by this fruit also provide you with more time for slicing fruits which is quite important in the Classic Mode since you have only a little time for scoring. However, it is also important to remember that you need to level up significantly for getting this blade.

16.  Use Great Wave Dojo when you Play Arcade Mode

You can unlock the Great Wave Dojo when you reach Level 12. This dojo can help you in scoring high. For instance, this dojo tosses a line or a wave of fruits for you to swipe through and make a combo. For Arcade Mode, this dojo is ideal as you are able to swipe through ten fruits for more combo blitz and higher combos. In fact, some players have reported that they have been able to score more than 2,000 by selecting this dojo in the Arcade mode. If you combine this dojo with an Ice Blade, you will be able to swipe even more fruits as this blade allows you to cut even more fruits whenever you slice a Freeze banana.

It is, however, quite important to note that this dojo is not effective for Classic mode in which you cannot miss three fruits. You will need to slice at least nine of the ten fruits in the Classic mode for taking advantage of the dojo and staying in the Classic mode or else the game will be over before you even know it.

17.  Use Short Swipes on Pomegranates

In Fruit Ninja, pomegranates award you with as many points as you make slices. It means that you need to make as many slices on this fruit as you can without missing. Thus, you should consider using short swipes on pomegranates. It will help in swiping various times and earning just as many points. If you make long swipes, you will only be able to land a few swipes before the pomegranate explodes. However, if you make short swipes, you will notice that you will be able to make multiple swipes in a short amount of time.

18.  Use Shiny Red in Arcade

You can unlock the Shiny Red blade when you reach Level 7. This blade allows you to get critical which is worth 25 points. It is quite different from the normal critical which gives you only 10 points. If you use this blade in the Arcade mode where you have the chance of hitting more combos and slicing more fruits in any other mode, you will be able to land a couple of critical without much difficulty. Just imagine getting a couple of critical in the Arcade mode which are worth 25 points each. It will be more than just a little effective in scoring high.

19.  Use Flame Blade for Leveling up Faster

In Fruit Ninja, you should already know that what matters the most is to advance and level up quickly. However, leveling up is quite a time-consuming process and it can take a lot of time to level up. What to do to level up quickly? Well, you can use Flame Blade for starts. You are able to unlock it when you reach Level 10. By just using this blade in different modes, you will be able to advance quickly. It will help you in climbing up the levels and unlocking many other dojos and blades which will help you in scoring high.

20.  Use Princess Blade in Arcade Mode

Another way of scoring high is to use Princess Blade in Arcade mode. You can unlock this blade when you reach Level 11. This blade allows you to make double points triple in the Arcade mode. When you slice the Double point banana in the Arcade mode, this blade will make it triple. Although it might seem like a great way of scoring high, it can make quite a huge difference if you combine it with the Frenzy or Freeze banana. It will allow you to land combos and score significantly. For every combo, you will be able to score a lot and, in the end, it will add a lot of additional score to your score.

21.  Use Water Blade with Great Wave Dojo

As I have said, in the Great Wave Dojo, you get waves of fruits which enable you to slice combos without any difficulty and it allows you to score high. When you use it with the Arcade mode, it increases the likelihood of hitting combos and scoring significantly higher than in any other mode. You can increase the power of Great Wave dojo even more by using the Water Blade. You can unlock this blade at Level 19 and it allows you to make even more combos. Just think about hitting combos in the Double phase when you are awarded double points for each and every fruit that you slice.

22.  Use Golden Ember Blade

If you are truly a score enthusiast and want nothing more than just to set high score records, you should use Golden Ember Blade for scoring high in Fruit Ninja. It is a top-class blade and you are able to unlock it only when you reach Level 100. It seems to double each and every score that you make in a fiery blaze. What you need to do is to equip this blade in the Arcade Mode and continue to make circles around the fruits. It will double your score. Just think about slicing the Ultra-Rare fruit with this blade and getting double scores for it.

Fifth Chapter – Special Reward Points

In Fruit Ninja, there are some special reward points that you can ger. In this chapter, I am going to tell you about these special reward points and how you can get them.

Pomegranate of Fruit Ninja

In a way, pomegranate is a special fruit which allows you to earn extra points without doing any effort. In fact, you are introduced to this fruit at various levels and it allows you to earn multiple points. For example, you are able to earn several points if you slice it several times. Let’s suppose that you slice it twenty times. Once you stop slicing it, you will earn 20 points.

Ultra-Rare Fruit

This is yet another special fruit and it allows you to earn additional and special points. It has two functions and forms. If you are able to slice it in the first try, you are awarded 50 points. However, if you are not able to slice it for the first time, you should know that you can earn even more points than 50. For instance, if you are unable to slice it, you can slice it various times and whenever you slice it, you earn a point. Let’s say that you slice it twenty-five times before it is sliced. It will make you earn 75 points.

Golden Ember Blade of Fruit Ninja

This is yet another special blade which will allow you to earn a lot of points. It allows you to earn special reward points. For instance, this blade has the attribute of doubling your score in the fiery blaze. Although it might seem impossible, it is really true. You can unlock this bald from the list of blades and use it to double your points.

Earn Achievements of Fruit Ninja

Another way through which you get special reward points is to earn achievements. You can check out the requirements for achievements and perform accordingly in the modes.

Similarly, there are numerous achievements which you can complete and earn special points in return.

Ninth Chapter – Conclusion of Fruit Ninja

So, this brings us to the end of this guide book. I have already told you everything that I wanted in this book. In this chapter, I am going to give you some final remarks.

A Game is not Always Just a Game

I have heard people saying: It is just a game. Why do you spend so much time over it? What is special about it?

It is true that Fruit Ninja is a game. However, for some, it is one of the main stress-relievers and sources of enjoyment. We all have different perspectives and you might not see Fruit Ninja from my perspective but I have never considered it a game. I have always considered it my stress-reliever. Whenever I would have stress or work-pressure, I would play this game it would help me in relieving my stress and even gaining joy.

I truly believe that some games are not just games. They are what help some people in staying happy.

So, other than just aiming to score high, try to play it for the sake of playing for a day. You will find that it will not relieve your stress but by the end of your game, you will also have a higher score than before.

Life is all about Balance

You might have already heard about how balance is important in life. Actually, it really is important in every aspect of life, whether it is emotions, work and social life, or even education and sports. What I am trying to say that although Fruit Ninja is a special game, you should also focus on other important things in your life. What you need is balance in your life.

Balance is what makes you live up to the fullest of your life. For instance, if you are a student, complete your studies first and play after that or you can play first and study afterward. It is up to you to choose and if you are a person who is working then you should complete your work first before playing. What you should aim for is to achieve balance in your life.

If you are excessive in playing, it will affect your personal life. Meanwhile, if you are excessive in studying or working, it will affect your physiologically and psychologically. You need to achieve a balance between these two aspects. If you are able to do that, you are good to go!

An easy way of doing this is to play the game when you have finished other tasks. It will serve to give you a sense of satisfaction that you have completed your primary responsibilities before you have used some time to play the game that you wanted.

It is quite simple.
