Use strategically placed fruit like Bananas, Apples and Oranges to battle waves of candy in this action-packed tower defense game. Each type of candy brings interesting new challenges. Defeat flying candy by using the anti-air Watermelon... Or by putting any regular fruit on top of a pillar. Melt through Soda Cans with citrus and destroy clusters of Candy Corn with a well placed Banana. Every level in Fruit Defense can be completed in under 10 minutes, but only if you've got the skill to do it! The levels may be short and fast-paced, but they still require plenty of strategy to beat. Fruit Defense includes three different game modes; normal, blitz and endless. In Blitz Mode, the candy never stops coming, and the game gets faster and faster. In Endless Mode, you must survive for as long as possible. Every level in the game can be played in all three game modes!
