Menu now works in oculus steam VR 6/20/2022 cant seem to get the menu to function or interact with anything once loading in. using steamvr from oculus rift with virtual desktop. now just to afk the item drop

A lot of fun, good physics

Очень классно когда ты режешь фрукт, а оказывается кто-то забыл заточить катану и вдруг он не разрезается... разрабы, чо за херня?

Este juego es muchísimo muy divertido

just needs a duel sword mode

Edit: You get a katana in Steam VR for playing this game for 2 hours. As of this writing, I myself have successfully sold that katana for the exact price of this game. Katana X - the game that used to be Zenblade, a somewhat blatant Fruit Ninja knockoff - has been abandonware for a very long time. It is now sitting at $2, which puts it at a price range that makes people consider cheap knockoffs of better games. This game has two key modes - Tatami and "Flying Fruit" - and a few sub-modes of each. "Flying Fruit" is the Fruit Ninja knockoff, and Tatami is original to this game - tatami spawn, you cut the tatami in the straw spot. Scoring in this game is very different from Fruit Ninja - good scoring relies more heavily on combos in this game, while good scoring in Fruit Ninja relies on getting more critical hits (cuts through the center of the fruit). Mistakes in survival persist in Katana X, but in Fruit Ninja your misses go away after a certain amount of points. The feeling is very different, and that's enough to make them meaningfully different to someone who is score chasing. This game's stated draw is realism and interesting physics. The tatami and fruit are cut "where the blade hits them," which gives you an idea of how off center you were. It's good feedback, and seeing it makes you a better player. This is the only point where the realism makes the game better - the blade physics make the game very unforgiving. Having your blade's angle be off by a few degrees causes the cut to fail - this can result in your blade getting stuck in the tatami mat or having a fruit fail to get cut. If the game environment is clean, then making mistakes due to this is absolutely on the player - however, fragments of tatami and fruit interact with both the blade and other fruit, so it's entirely possible to have your blade get deflected a little bit by debris - something which can ruin a cut. Your blade isn't exactly rigid - it lags a little bit, and it can get caught on things. This is a huge problem in the Tatami mode, where your blade can easily get stuck *in* the tatami. Removing your blade from the tatami is time consuming, and it's often a worse mistake to make than actually missing the straw part. Moreover, small bits of fruit and tatami deflecting your blade as much as they do breaks the feeling of realism quite a bit - the weight of half an orange does not change the path of even a light blade as radically as it does in this game. The game also is prone to glitches - especially when your blade jams in the tatami. These glitches are not game-ending, but they are cause for concern when the draw of your game is realism at the expense of fun. On the other hand...it's $2. And the tatami slicing is now currently not done much better elsewhere, nor does there seem to be any hope of that being the case as far as I know. (I have edited this from a negative recommendation to a positive one, because the game that would have replaced this game's tatami slicing has ceased development prematurely.)

freezes a lot

40% of my cuts went straight through the fruit its a cool idea just not published at the write time cut vr isnt fast enough to track you sword properly

аналог fruit ninja vr только эта дешевле и как по мне прикольней правда я не играл в фруит ниндзя но всё равно меня уже затянула игра по видео а фруит нинзя нет. и вообще геймплей приколен тем что надо обучатся а с первого раза не выйдет нормально играть нужно учится

It's pretty meh. I really wanted to like this game but something about the physics of the sword just doesn't translate well to an index controller. YMMV, and I really hate to give this game a negative review, but I just honestly didn't enjoy it.
