In one sentence

Fruit Fugitives is a physics puzzle for iPhone, iPad and Android in which you cut strings, open trapdoors and pop bubbles to roll fruit gently into a bowl before Mixtor the blender gets it.

In two paragraphs

The kitchen gadgets have caught the fruit and want to juice them. You never throw anything: every screen is one individually designed puzzle on a tall kitchen shelf, and the only question is what to set off, when, and in which order. Milaki the apple leads the great escape through ten countries, from a Swiss farm garden to a palm island in Fiji, with Mixtor the blender always one step too late.

Every fruit behaves differently, and the juice stays where it lands. A burst melon leaves a slippery pool the next fruit can slide on, a lemon’s acid eats through cans, a chili melts ice. Sometimes the best move is to sacrifice one fruit for the others. Every freed prisoner joins the puzzle and can change what happens next.

What sets it apart

Juice that stays. Burst fruit leaves slippery, sticky or acidic trails that change the level for the next fruit.
Every fruit its own physics. Melons burst, coconuts smash stone, grapes split in five, chilis melt ice.
Not too soft, not too hard. The height of a fall is its force: a short drop opens a jar, a deep one crushes what is inside.
