Fruit Harvest

If you have five spare minutes, Fruit Harvest will fill them. Everything happens on one screen with waves of 2-4 flying items with 6% bombs, and the whole thing runs straight in the browser - no downloads, no sign-ups, no fuss.

Fruit Harvest, round by round

Swipes are free-form - a long slashing drag can catch three pieces of fruit in one motion, and that is how big combos happen. The gesture also has a cooldown per fruit, so waving the finger around randomly scores less than one committed slash.

Why Fruit Harvest sticks

It suits anyone with a queue to wait in or a kettle to watch: students between classes, commuters, parents stealing ten quiet minutes. There is no meta-progression to lose and nothing to catch up on - a week away costs you nothing but a little sharpness.

How to play

1. Press play - fruit starts flying in from the sides.
2. Swipe across fruit to slice it; chain slices in one drag for combos.
3. Never touch a bomb - it ends the run instantly.
4. Three missed fruits also end the run, so stay sharp.

Where it sits

Swipe to slice flying fruit - but never touch the bombs.

A note on the sticker

Fruit Harvest announces itself inside ten seconds, which is the only test that matters when sorting a catalogue this size. Arkad Shelf games are chosen for how quickly they say what they are.

Difficulty sits at Easy and the player count at 1. Those two numbers decide more about whether you will enjoy it than the theme does.

If you are choosing between this and something similar, start here when you have Easy energy and elsewhere when you do not. Fruit Harvest does not pretend to be more than it is.
