Get Fruit Squash on your mobile
This kind won't fuse the circuits |
We're all supposed to eat five pieces of fruit or veg a day, according to boffins. Not easy, particularly if you're like our Jon Jordan, and you think that means 'in one mouthful'.
Hence the growing popularity of blenders, smoothie makers, and liquidisers. Zap your snack into a milkshake, slurp it down, and you're done!
Fruit Squash, from OrangePixel, may have been inspired by a similar drive for healthiness amongst its creators, although we'd more expect 'Pizza Crush' given our experience of the game development community.
Anyway, the game sees you matching up fruits and then pulping them to create new squash flavours. Your creation shows up in the background, and you score bonus points for variety and the volume of fruit you squeeze.
The developer is making great claims for the game's originality, although to be honest at first glance it doesn't seem that different from other match-'em-up mobile games.
"With Fruit Squash, we tried to inject some originality and depth in to puzzle games," insists Carl Trelfa of the developer Under Siege Studio. "We tried to do something different and more involving with the puzzle game formula and I think we achieved that. Fruit Squash is very different, you have more control over the state of play than in most other puzzle games and it is more in-depth and requires more thought."
A puzzle game with a fruity new spin would certainly be no bad thing, given the popularity of the genre. Click 'Track It!' to find out if Fruit Squash is a peach or a pear-shaped effort when we review it.
