In a Nutshell

In a Nutshell - The Basics!

Failure:

The game ends when you have missed three pieces of fruit. These can be spaced apart by any amount, so letting any pieces of fruit through your clutches is a very bad move. If you strike a bomb with your sword, you suffer an instant failure.

Combos:

You should aim to slice across as many items of fruit as possible. This can give you a combo bonus, also known as a Blitz. There are a variety of levels to the Blitz, each of which rewards you with a bonus equal to the level multiplied by five. These levels are below:

Combo Blitz: - Get 3 Combos - Bonus now equals 5
Great Blitz: - Get 6 Combos - Bonus now equals 10
Awesome Blitz: - Get 9 Combos  - Bonus now equals 15
Super Blitz: - Get 12 Combos  - Bonus now equals 20
Hyper Blitz: - Get 15 Combos  - Bonus now equals 25
Unbelievable Blitz: - Get 18 Combos - Bonus now equals 30

Extra Lives:

You are rewarded with an extra life once your score reaches a multiple of 100.
