Fruit Bandits gameplay: a board of fruit on Banana Bay with the target, moves and score at the top.

No bull in the way

We got tired of everything that sits between you and the next level. So we cut it.

No lives

Miss a level and you replay it straight away. Nothing runs out, and there is nothing to wait for.

No timers

Play for a minute or an hour. No energy to refill, no countdown to beat, no come-back-in-30-minutes.

No pop-ups between levels

Win, and the celebration flows into the next board. No results page to dismiss, no offers to wave away.

  • Every level is beatable free. The iPhone app will have a small banner ad and an optional ad for 5 extra moves. One purchase removes the ads. Bandit Club is optional.
  • No account needed. Open it and you are on level one in seconds. Sign in with an optional account, or move to a new device with a short backup code.

Easy to learn. Hard to put down.

Swap two neighbours, match three or more, clear the goal before the moves run out. Everything below is the real game, captured on a phone.

Bigger matches, bigger rewards

Familiar rules, clearly rewarded. Match more and you get a power-up. Tap it to fire it, or swap two together for something huge.

Packed with heist

A whole game, not a demo, and all of it works from the first tap.

20 islands, 400 levels

From Banana Bay to a Grand Finale after level 400, each island with its own painted scenery and its own twists.

Power-ups and combos

Chili rockets, parrots, dynamite and golden pineapples. Swap two together to set off a combo.

Vault heists

The last level of every island is a vault heist against vain Captain Beakbeard, and it is a proper test.

Obstacles with variety

Crates, rope nets, honey, sand, clams, lava, portals, conveyors, stone idols, keys and chests.

A crew that reacts

Bandit, Pip and Momo cheer your wins, groan at a bad swap and point out a move when you are stuck.

Play your way

Fruit symbols for colour-blind play, a high-contrast board, larger text, reduce motion and a Calm mode. Optional hints, and separate switches for sound, music and haptics.

Boss Rush

Every week Captain Beakbeard returns with a twist on his big fights. Replay them for coins and a medal.

Star Chase

Replay any level for more stars, fill each island’s progress ring and earn a Gold Seal for a perfect island.

Rewind

Made a move you regret? Take back your last turn. You earn Rewinds by playing and can hold up to three. They are never sold.

Island Keepsakes

Clear an island and a small enamel keepsake pops out of a parcel. Win three stars on every level of the island to gild it. Nothing to buy, nothing timed.

Goal helper

Not sure what a goal means? Tap any Target chip for a plain explanation, your progress and a picture. It never costs a move.

Heat

Chain big cascades and the heat builds. A full meter plants a free dynamite on the board. Earned in play, never bought.

Friends and crew

Add friends with a code, send waves and supply drops, and watch the crew’s weekly loot grow. No chat, no pressure.

Events

Weekly Heist Contracts, a monthly keepsake track and seasonal heists. All optional, and nothing nags you.

A story to follow

A short, skippable comic with 18 chapters follows the crew from island to island, all the way to the Grand Vault.

A Grand Finale

Clear level 400 for a short finale story, a card of your journey and the Grand Finale Seal. More islands are coming soon.

Nine languages

Play in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean or Simplified Chinese.

Twenty islands. One very good crew.

Follow Bandit, Pip and Momo across the Fruit Seas, out-scheming Captain Beakbeard at every island’s vault. Sail to the next island the moment you finish one.

Questions

Short answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. Every level can be completed without paying. The iPhone app will show a small banner ad from level 4 and an optional ad if you want 5 extra moves after a loss. A one-time purchase removes the ads. Bandit Club is an optional subscription; you never need it to play.

How do ads work?

A small banner sits at the bottom from level 4. Video ads only ever play when you tap to ask for a bonus, such as 5 extra moves. Nothing interrupts you between levels.

What is Bandit Club?

An optional auto-renewing subscription with no ads, a free tool every day, bonus coins and a new outfit each month. You can cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. The Terms of Use have the details.

Do I need an account?

No. Progress saves on your device. To carry it elsewhere, the settings screen can give you a short backup code, or you can sign in with an optional account.

Where can I play?

Right now in your browser, on any phone, tablet or computer. An iPhone app is on the way; Android after that.

Will it ever make me wait?

No. There are no lives, no energy and no timers.

What data do you collect?

Your progress and anonymous gameplay events, tied to a random device id rather than to you. The privacy page has the full list.

How do I contact you?

Use the support form. Leaving a reply address is optional.

Is it suitable for kids?

It is a casual game made for teens and adults. It is not directed at children under 13.
