The rules in one minute
- Fit the gap. The marks on the floor show the gap. They turn blue and a FITS sign appears when you are thin enough, and orange when you would be blocked.
- Mind the pressure. Squeezing hard fills a pressure gauge, and past the limit it fills fast. The fruit's skin warms up and cracks start to show. Let go between walls so it can recover.
- Protect your hearts. A hit costs a whole heart. Squeezing too far costs half a heart. When the last heart is gone, the fruit bursts and the level ends.
- Chase the score. A tight fit scores a PERFECT, and streaks of them build combos, HYPER mode and Golden Rush for extra golden seeds.
Levels 1 to 5 forgive one wipe-out with a free second wind, so there is room to learn.
Every wall and how to beat it
| Enemy | What it does | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Fork Squad | A row of forks with one gap | Squeeze to fit |
| Spoon Gang | Two doors, one wide and one tight | Take the tight one for double the score |
| Chopsticks | The way out is off to one side | Slide over early |
| Flippers | Spatulas block a door, then flip | Take the door that is open |
| Rollos | Rolling pins that come in pairs | Squeeze, then squeeze again |
| Snapper | Tongs bite the gap shut | Go when it opens |
| Chef Slice | Knives shuffle the gap sideways | Follow the gap as it moves |
| Twister | Whisks whose gap opens and closes | Time your pass |
| Rasp | Rough graters | Stay clear of the sides |
| Blender | Pulls you sideways | Fight the pull while you squeeze |
| Grandma | Hugs you hard from both sides | Let go and shake left and right to get free |
| Surprise walls | A wall turns up where you did not expect it | Watch the warnings and the floor marks |
Beating the bosses
Every 10th level is a boss fight. A boss has a health bar and three phases, and it gets more furious as it weakens. Every clean pass fires golden seeds at it, so keep getting through walls while you dodge.
Tips
- Rest between walls. Staying squeezed hard all the time is a quick way to lose hearts.
- Squeeze only as much as the gap needs. Anything harder just fills the pressure gauge.
- Look ahead. The next wall is already visible in the distance, so start moving before it arrives.
- Try another fruit when a level feels wrong. Zesty has an extra heart, and Berry is quick and scores more, but pops easily. See the fruits.
