# About Fruit Slicer Deluxe

Fruit Slicer Deluxe is an addictive arcade game where your reflexes and precision are put to the test. Jump into the action and slice through a cascade of colorful fruits being tossed onto the screen. Use swift swipes to cut them in half before they fall, racking up points for each successful slice.

The gameplay is simple yet challenging. As you progress, fruits appear faster and more frequently, sometimes accompanied by tricky bombs. Slicing a bomb ends your game instantly, so careful aim is crucial! Missing too many fruits will also deplete your lives. With detailed fruit visuals, satisfying slicing effects, and smooth controls, Fruit Slicer Deluxe offers classic arcade fun for everyone.

Aim for combos by slicing multiple fruits in one swipe, master the physics of the flying objects, and climb the high score table in this enhanced fruit-slicing experience!

## How to Play

The goal of Fruit Slicer Deluxe is to score as many points as possible by slicing fruits while avoiding bombs and not letting fruits fall off the screen untouched.

1.  **Start:** Click or tap the "Start Game" button.
2.  **Slicing:** Use your mouse cursor (on desktop) or finger (on touch devices) to swipe across the flying objects.
3.  **Score Points:** Successfully slicing fruits like Apples, Oranges, Watermelons, Kiwis, Bananas, Strawberries, Mangos, and Pineapples adds points to your score. Different fruits may offer different point values.
4.  **Avoid Bombs:** Do NOT slice the black bombs with fuses. Slicing a bomb will immediately end the game.
5.  **Don't Miss:** You start with 20 lives. Letting a fruit fall off the bottom of the screen without slicing it will cost you a life.
6.  **Game Over:** The game ends when you slice a bomb or run out of lives. Your final score will be displayed.
7.  **Difficulty:** The game gets progressively harder, with objects spawning faster and bombs appearing more frequently as your score increases.

## Features

- **Variety of Fruits:** Slice 8 different types of beautifully rendered fruits (Apple, Orange, Watermelon, Kiwi, Banana, Strawberry, Mango, Pineapple), each with unique whole and sliced visuals.
- **Dangerous Bombs:** Test your precision by avoiding the game-ending bombs mixed in with the fruit.
- **Satisfying Effects:** Enjoy smooth slice trails and vibrant particle effects that burst from sliced fruit.
- **Responsive Controls:** Intuitive swipe controls work seamlessly on both desktop (mouse) and mobile (touch).
- **Progressive Difficulty:** The challenge ramps up with faster spawns and increased bomb probability as you score higher.
- **Lives System:** Manage your 20 lives carefully – don't let those fruits drop!

## Controls

- **Desktop:** Click and hold the left mouse button, then drag the cursor across the objects you want to slice. Release the button to stop slicing.
- **Mobile/Touch:** Tap and drag your finger across the screen over the objects you want to slice. Lift your finger to stop slicing.

## Tips & Strategies

- **Multi-Slice Combos:** Try to slice multiple fruits in a single, continuous swipe for potential bonus points (a common genre feature) and efficiency.
- **Watch Trajectories:** Pay attention to the arc of the fruits and bombs to anticipate where they will be and plan your slices.
- **Bomb Safety:** Be extra cautious when fruits and bombs are close together. It's often better to miss a fruit than risk hitting a bomb.
- **Clear the Clutter:** Prioritize slicing fruits when the screen gets crowded to avoid missing them and losing lives.
