How to get Critical hits in Fruit Ninja? And what are they

fruit-ninja

I occasionally slice fruits that give me 10 extra? points for a "Critical" hit.

  1. Are they worth 10 points total, or 10 extra points on top of whatever you would get?

  2. What impact do Critical hits have on Combos? (eg: Do they count as a combo? Is it possible to get a critical hit and a combo?)

  3. How do I get them? Is there a specific part of the fruit I should be aiming for, or a specific motion, or perhaps a specific point in their trajectory? Or are they just completely random?

Best Answer

Well,

  1. They are worth 10 points instead of the traditional 1 point for standard fruit.

  2. They are perfectly valid in combos like other fruit, the combo points are not multiplied by 10, you just get 9 extra points than if there was no critical hit in the combo.

  3. Completely and utterly random. There is no special swiping motion or timing that will get you a critical hit. The game is known to give completely random points as seen in the Arcade mode with the random assortment of power-up bananas.

I imagine they exist for flare. It adds a random element of reward to the game to give it a little bit of extra addiction.
