About

FruitDrum

Read full description

A quick game for your spare moments, and a straight test of how fast your fingers really are. Fruit rolls in row after row. Clear it before the clock runs out. Every correct tap buys you time; a wrong tap, or letting any row overflow, ends the run. The longer you last the faster the fruit comes, so how far you get is down to nothing but finger speed and focus. How to play - Fruit fills four rows. Tap the matching button below. - The higher your combo, the higher your score multiplier, up to three times. - Bombs appear from time to time and clear half a row. Well timed, one can save the run. - Boss rounds arrive on a timer. Tap the marked button as fast as you can for bonus points and time. Finger techniques Start at the Qi Gathering Finger and climb through Foundation, Golden, Genesis, Soul Sever and Void, all the way to the Immortal Finger. Every rank has sub-levels and there is no ceiling, so there is always a next one to chase. Also - Thai, English and Chinese, switchable at any time - Close the app and pick up the same run later - One hand, portrait, ready whenever you have a minute
