The 1-Upper: Fruit Mystery

The real fruit mystery what makes blueberries so delicious Last week, I thought about posting a funny April Fool's game, but I resisted. I only lasted a week, and I proudly point you to Fruit Mystery. Made by, it seems, a friend from Down Under, Fruit Mystery is both the most ridiculous and hilariously funny game I've come across. The point of the game, I think, is to pick what fruit a parade of animals (represented in horribly lo-res images) would eat while a MIDI version of Katrina and the Waves Walking on Sunshine blares from your PC speakers. Sounds easy, right? Well, all of the fruits are crudely drawn in what looks like Microsoft Paint, and some don't qualify as fruits, like corn chips. Your selections are either met with some "well done, chap" congratulations or downright derision that would make Gordon Ramsey grin from ear to ear. Either way, both are delivered in English that is as mangled as the fruit drawings. I'm not sure you can solve the Fruit Mystery, but you do get 38 seconds to try. You'll have to determine how well you do, too, as there's no score (EDIT: Oops! There is a score! It, of course, just makes no sense). If you unravel this, the most pressing and urgent mystery of our times, be sure to let me know, OK? Play Fruit Mystery here. boots Posted 2008-04-09 01:38:50

The real fruit mystery what makes blueberries so delicious

Last week, I thought about posting a funny April Fool's game, but I resisted. I only lasted a week, and I proudly point you to Fruit Mystery. Made by, it seems, a friend from Down Under, Fruit Mystery is both the most ridiculous and hilariously funny game I've come across. The point of the game, I think, is to pick what fruit a parade of animals (represented in horribly lo-res images) would eat while a MIDI version of Katrina and the Waves Walking on Sunshine blares from your PC speakers. Sounds easy, right? Well, all of the fruits are crudely drawn in what looks like Microsoft Paint, and some don't qualify as fruits, like corn chips. Your selections are either met with some "well done, chap" congratulations or downright derision that would make Gordon Ramsey grin from ear to ear. Either way, both are delivered in English that is as mangled as the fruit drawings.

I'm not sure you can solve the Fruit Mystery, but you do get 38 seconds to try. You'll have to determine how well you do, too, as there's no score (EDIT: Oops! There is a score!

The fruit mystery is a psychological thriller, you are trapped in a world of guilt caused by the protagonist's actions (feeding inappropriate fruit), and now he is trying to purge his feelings by projecting them onto the player. Truly, a game for all ages.

There is a score at the end, too, I got -32 and then 84 the next time.
