How to play Fruit Freaks

Four weird fruits are stranded on a wonky island, and every one of them is carrying boom fruits. Drop a boom fruit, blow up crates, grab power-ups and be the last fruit standing. The twist: the whole island tilts on a timer, so every boom fruit rolls downhill and explodes wherever it ends up. A boom fruit you drop next to a crate can come rolling back at you.

Controls

• Player 1: W A S D to move and Space to drop a boom fruit.
• Player 2: arrow keys to move and Enter to drop a boom fruit. In 1P either set works.
• Phone: joystick to move and the big button to drop a boom fruit. Phones play in 1P only.
• P pauses, M mutes and Esc is the boss key.

The four fruits

• Farmer Mel: crates drop more items, and rain boots mean less slipping.
• Papa Pump: the fastest runner and a natural boom fruit kicker, but with a short blast.
• Baron Durian: one extra boom fruit, spiky boom fruit that barely roll and a stink that slows others. Walks slowly.
• Melonsuke: a decoy blocks one blast each round, at the cost of every power-up.

Tips

• Watch the alarm and the arrow before you drop. A steep tilt sends a boom fruit right across the island.
• Boom fruit can fall through the fence gaps between the red flags. Players never fall.
• After 90 seconds coconuts rain from the sky, so finish things early.
