Fruit Attacks is the adorable first mobile game from En Masse Entertainment, coming July 30th

Many people will know the name of publisher En Masse Entertainment from their successful MMORPG PC game, TERA. As it turns out, the publisher’s next game is a slight change of pace – a mobile game coming to Android and Amazon Kindle Fire by the name of Fruit Attacks. In the style of old arcade shooters, Fruit Attacks adds its own cute art style and unique “hook shot” mechanic to bring the tried and true genre to mobile devices. Check out a trailer which shows some of the gameplay:

In the game, you will take control of a SATI, “a friendly amplifier creature” which uses sound attacks to destroy things – as you progress through the game, you’ll unlock other SATIs, helpers and power-ups as well. From what we can tell, Fruit Attacks appears to be pretty well put together which is always good considering it’s going to be a free-to-play game – our only hope is that it isn’t affected too much by the additions of inevitable in-app purchases. Fruit Attacks will be available on the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store on July 30th – we’ll post up links as soon as we have them.
