Hey, this was my first Ludum Dare. And it was awesome! Learned a bit about programming and so. Note: I had not much time. I only worked 5 hours... ----- What is this game about? This game is about smashing "fruits" aka rectangles. There are 3 different types: Bananas, Strawberrys and Apples. Bananas give you 25-30 points. Apples give you 25-40 points, Strawberrys 35-40. When a Fruit is not crushed and falls of the screen, you'll loose. That's it. (I'm thinking about porting it to android as post-compo :) ).
Enjoy!
Edit: Included a changelog, made some changes for 2 guys :)
I can see that you were going for innovation hard with this one :p
I actually really like the way the fruits break up. I did feel that the controls didn't feel as precise as Iw anted. It's not clear what that line actually means.
It was kind of confusing that I had to click twice to start the game again and the sound effects started hurting my ears after a while but I like that you varied them a bit. :)
I quite enjoyed playing it, the only thing I'm missing is a highscore so that I can keep track of my progression.
Good job!

A bit too easy for me, but hey: It works great and of course congratulations for your first Ludum Dare entry! :)
This was pretty good. It's very annoying that you'll lose if only one fruit falls down, one time it spat like 6 fruits at once 8o Otherwise it was pretty sweet
I opened your game and was prompted to click to start. After I clicked the screen the game started and I was not sure what I was suppose to do right away. I got the hang of it after playing for awhile.
1151 is my high score! ...Is that good? Anybody? Never played fruit ninja myself, but there's just 1 flaw in this that you wouldn't get on a phone/ipad: clicking frantically outside the window, only to realise the inevitability of losing when the game gets mouse focus back! All told, I really like this, and it's a very complete thing for the time you spent. Also - you might not realise it, but "click to start" is a actually quite a clever touch, getting around Java sometimes not gaining window focus. I wish I'd thought to do that!

1151 is a nice score! (My highscore is something about 900 :/)
