Playing Fruit Cakes
Playing Fruit Cakes:

The object of Fruit Cakes is to clear all the cakes from the screen by maneuvering falling fruit. To clear a cake, you "drop" a fruit of the same color on top of it.  Cakes are the little oval, colored shapes.  A piece of fruit matches a cake when both are the same color.

Cake:        Fruit:

You clear a cake by stacking three pieces of the same color fruit on top of it like this:

To advance to the next level, you only need to clear the cakes from the screen, not the fruit.  However, the fruit may start to pile up.  In this case, you must clear the fruit before you get a pile to the top of the screen.  If fruit piles to the top of the screen, the game is over!

To pause the game, just press the [image] button.

Listen to music as you play. Don't like the current song, no problem. You're in charge with the music control pad.


Playing Pieces
Playing Pieces:

Besides fruit, other things fall from the "tree tops." Watch for this stuff.

 Fruit Flies:  YUK!  These guys love fruit.  The problem is, they don't know when to leave.

 Frogs:  Hey, got flies?  Get a frog.  They love to eat flies for lunch.

 Fertilizer:  This stuff grows what ever it lands on -- even FLYS!.

 Time Bombs:  Place four of these on top of one another and . . .

B O O M ! ! !  What do bombs have to do with making cakes, you ask? Who knows, maybe the gas oven blew up. Who cares? We like to blow things up once in a while. Besides, we needed to think of something to help you get rid of those nasty fruit flies if the frogs are scarce.

 Cakes:  Yep!  You could almost be done with a level when these show up.  If you fall behind in your baking, there may be more work for you to do.

 Trees:  When a tree comes down, it hits so hard it rains fruit.  You'll understand when you get one of these babies -- could be thought of as the Rain Forrest's Revenge! You probably won't be happy to see these drop into view.

 Frost:  As any fruit farmer knows, when the frost falls, so does the fruit. Don't plan on screen objects staying put when the freeze hits.
