Lumiappaday #170: Fruit Ninja demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 XboxLive
Fruit Ninja needs little or no introduction, being on pretty much every platform now, including a very physically demanding kinect. It has been on WP for a while, but it was priced way too high. Recently a bunch of those games have come down to £0.79 which makes this game a must have download to your inventory.
It’s all about fruit swiping. There are three modes present, Normal (cut fruit, avoid bombs and missing fruit), a timed attack mode and a point gainer mode (bombs don’t mean game over, just point deduction)

I feel like I should have reviewed this one
Ha, no doubt! We could have seen the winning fruit ninja skills! And it would appease the guy on youtube who keeps pointing out I suck at playing the games I’m demoing, lol.
Problem with it on WP is that you keep on hitting the search button on accident when you get over excited with your swipes.
I don’t do this nearly as much anymore but it still happens occasionally. You would think it would be easy for WP not to acknowledge a click if the button is hit from a swipe instead of touch.
This was the first game I got for my Lumia 800 after it was my most-played game on the N8.
However, I found the touch sensitivity lacking and the experience was not as satisfying as the N8 version.
Have the developers added multiplayer like every other platform except symbian?
