Super Fruit (NEW GAMEMODE!)

Everybody makes mistakes. That's why we've invented edible* super juice. These special "fruits" can really mix things up. Drop some lead, shrink it, or defy gravity with these Super (delicious) fruits.

Super Fruit: BOUNCY

A fruit covered in a super bouncy sauce that makes it bounce higher and faster. Be careful though, it's hard to control!

Super Fruit: GLUE COVERED

It's covered in glue and will stick to the first fruit it touches.

Super Fruit: GRAVITY

This fruit has a gravitational pull that will pull other fruits of the same type towards it.

Super Fruit: LEAD

A heavy fruit that sinks straight to the bottom, where it will lose its power. Be careful, as it will try to push anything out of its way.

Super Controls

The controls on PC (Mouse/Keyboard) have been updated! The cursor will now ignore fruit and stay in place. This should allow you to be more consistent when dropping multiple fruits without moving. If you want the old way of it targeting the fruit, you can hold the "SHIFT" key.

Super Gamemode Changes!

Before, all games started with the following fruit queue: Cherry, Strawberry, Cherry, Apricot. This has been changed to be unique per mode:

Classic Mode

Cherry, Strawberry, Cherry, Apricot, Strawberry

Time Attack

Strawberry, Apricot, Strawberry, Cherry, Cherry, Cherry

Auto Drop

Apricot, Apricot, Cherry, Strawberry, Cherry, Kiwi

Super Fruit

Cherry, Strawberry, Apricot, Apricot, Cherry (Bouncy) Additionally, the fruit that becomes available as the game progresses has also been changed:

Classic Mode

Cherry, Strawberry & Apricot > 200 Score: Higher chance for Apricot > 750 Score: Chance for Kiwi > 1500 Score: Chance for Plum > 2500 Score: Lowered chance for Strawberry & Cherry

Time Attack

Cherry & Strawberry > 30 Seconds Survived: Chance for Apricot > 60 Seconds Survived: Chance for Kiwi > 120 Seconds Survived: Chance for Plum

Auto Drop

Auto drop does not change fruit over time and always has the ability to drop Cherry, Strawberry, Apricot & Kiwi

Super Fruit

Cherry, Strawberry & Apricot > 200 Score: Higher chance for Apricot > 750 Score: Chance for Kiwi > 1500 Score: Chance for Plum

Super Achievements

Super Fruit: Let's Try Again Use a Mirror fruit to re-drop a watermelon. Super Fruit: Binary Star System Have two Gravity fruits attract each other. Super Fruit: Immediate Danger Keep upgrading a bouncy fruit to end up with a bouncy peach! The Love for Three Oranges Have three oranges in play at the same time. Fruit Punch Have at least one of every fruit active at the same time!

Super Stats!

The new gamemode has its leaderboard added, and two new stats for it.
