How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
The game was intended to feel familiar to something you've seen before (Deja Vu) and then subvert expected gameplay.
That is, you play as the game 'Fruit Ninja' but from the perspective of the game against the player.

I definitely had my déjà vu moment. I Love to just spam fruits everywhere
Super interesting idea! If you know fruit ninja, you're no longer young 🤣. j/k, congrats!
This is a really interesting concept! It feels good to play too.
Thank you! glad it feels alright :D
I love it! I also had the exact same thought, but a completely different implementation! I love that I can also view the controls in the game. Nice one!
Yeah.. the original gameplay loop was going to be that you make the slices and then play the game against what you just sliced, but it wasn't as fun as it sounded (or maybe I just didn't execute it well). Glad you liked seeing the controls!
Wait — you can do that? And really, I’d never thought about it before, yet it turned into an interesting mechanic. If you know the original one — pure nostalgia.
feels so long ago, doesn't it?
Nice
Cheers mate
This was more fun than I expected, playing reverse ninja fruit XD. Pretty neat little game, one thing I think would add is actually having the fruit getting sliced since it's quite hard to tell when the fruits get hit, same for bomb, some kinda explosions would definitely help with player feedbacks.
100% agree, some sliced fruit/explosion effects would be the next step to add some 'juice' to the game. Thanks for the feedback!
It feels like Fruit Ninja, but in reverse. Cool :)
I'm glad that got across :D
Really nostalgic! I like how you "revers" gameplay and we throw fruits instead of cut it. Like it!
Thank you!
How the tables have turned! Would have been a great entry to the GMTK 2023 game jam with the theme "Roles reversed" :D Super creative.
You're too kind, I was worried it would come off as tacky :D
Very good and unique idea. Took me a moment to understand that I play as fruits lol :) GG
Thank you so much, I need to work on making tutorials I suppose haha
Really cool concept and implementation. As for possible improvements, the movement tutorial could be added in the first round because some people (like me) won't look it up at first. I had no idea that I could move using A and D on my first playthrough. Overall, this is great! Great job!!!
Great points, thank you for the feedback!
esta un poquito incomodo el tema de los controles al inicio, pero luego de un rato te acostumbras, que buena referencia
Thank you for the feedback :D
Cool take of fruit ninja.
Appreciate it, mate!
