About this game

Fruit Salad asks you to clear hanging fruit by joining at least three of the same kind. Removing a group also drops anything attached only to that group, and falling fruit earns more points than directly matched fruit. Shots bounce off the side walls, opening routes to awkward corners.

The included instructions describe 50 regular levels and a random mode. A descending ceiling pushes fruit toward your launcher; if fruit reaches its zone, the attempt is lost. Black fruit is indestructible and does not have to be removed to finish the board.

Left and Right aim, Space fires normal fruit and Ctrl uses a magic fruit. You begin with three magic fruits, which clear fruit of the kind they touch. P pauses and Q quits. Check the next-fruit preview beside the launcher, and try to remove a supporting group instead of clearing a large hanging cluster one piece at a time.

Quick tips

Aim for a supporting group to drop the fruit hanging below it.

Space fires ordinary fruit; save Ctrl's limited magic fruit for difficult positions.
