Steam demo of Fruit Mountain Party<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Starting June 10th, the demo for Fruit Mountain Party is now available and ready for online play. Battle it out online with challengers from all around the world to be the reigning monarch of fruit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is Fruit Mountain Party?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fruit Mountain Party is an all-new title based on the cult-hit fruit stacking 3D puzzle game, Fruit Mountain. The core gameplay of combining fruits remains the same, however Fruit Mountain Party has an added competitive edge. Implement sneaky strategies through items and defend your fruit mountain from opponents to ensure you come out on top – of the mountain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fully released build of the game will feature additional modes to suit a variety of playstyles. There will be a single-player mode whereby players can practice or play against the CPU, local battles on a single PC and online battles, including an invitation-based matching system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Take on randomized matching in \u201cFruit Race\u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the demo version of this mode, players will be matched up against random opponents from around the world. Stack your fruit on the stage and the first player to make a watermelon (the largest fruit in the game) will be named the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This mode also has a new system that features a gauge. You can fill this gauge by throwing fruit and combining fruits on the stage. Once it\u2019s full, players will be able to use unique items with some devastating effects! There\u2019s even a \u201cMinus Fruit\u201d item which will shrink your opponent\u2019s fruit so watch out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget \u201csolo play\u201d mode where you can get your practice in against the CPU while still following the typical rules of Fruit Mountain Party. Use this mode to warm up before the real battles begin, or just unwind in your spare time through some low stakes play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t miss out on the chance to play Fruit Mountain Party! Play the free demo version and enjoy heated fruit x puzzle battles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
