Frutz

Frutz is a fast, side-scrolling arcade shooter about stopping Lord Zorkannan, who rules the cosmos with five Cosmic Gems. You pilot a nimble retro-inspired ship through five worlds, defeat the guardians who hold the gems, and prepare for a final battle in the Cosmic Rift.

The campaign

Each world is filled with enemies and hazards, and ends with a unique boss battle. The worlds are Forest Planet, Ice World, Volcanic, Storm Ruins and Cosmic Rift. Their challenges include overgrown forest chaos, icy movement control, volcanic pressure, stormy ruins and reality-warping cosmic distortion.

Defeating a guardian lets you claim its Cosmic Gem and unlock a permanent ability, which you can use once per level. Each world also has its own mechanics: ice drift, magma pressure, storm flow, warp distortion and cosmic convergence.

Arcade combat

Levels are short and handcrafted, with quick runs built around improving your performance. You shoot, dodge enemy waves, graze close to danger, chain combos, collect gems, use power weapons and dash through patterns. Combos, grazing, dashes and super moves reward aggressive, precise play. Power weapons include spread shots, lasers, missiles, shields and bombs.

Score and mastery

Clear the campaign, chase S ranks, earn crowns and attempt no-hit clears. Scores, stars, crowns and grades provide goals for replaying levels and mastering them. A golden ship is also included.
