Pixel Ninja by numpad
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 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.
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!
Made some changes for "SuperlevelSebastian" and "nintendoeats" :)
Otherwise it was pretty sweet
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 :/)
