Fifteen years ago, you raised the islands of Fruity Bay from the sea with your catching skills. Now a strange fog has rolled in overnight and swallowed the bay whole — grab your basket, catcher. You're needed once more! Fruity Islands Lite is the free return of the 2011 original: the same fast-paced game of fruit catch with a twist, rebuilt in glorious HD for today's iPhones and iPads. Catch the falling coconuts. Dodge the fireballs. Bounce fruit off your basket's rim and juggle it right back at the giant crab who rules Coconut Island. Five levels, a boss battle, a hidden golden key — a complete island adventure, free from your first catch to the crab's last stand. • Coconut Island, complete: five levels and the crab boss • A hidden golden key... and a fog that hides six more islands • Fruit Coins and armable boosts • Crisp HD art and the original island tunes, on iPhone and iPad • No ads. Ever. Love it here? The rest of the archipelago — seven islands, seven bosses, secret islets, treasure perks and something stirring beyond the bay — awaits in Fruity Islands HD.
