Release notes:
Found and fixed a bug about moving above one tree when there were two trees on the screen at once. I also changed hole #8, to make it more challenging. I don’t think I can possibly come up with 10 more hole ideas, so I’ll leave the total number of holes at 9.

But no despair, your best friend is by your side… as well as a very helpful cat.

Retroguru co-founder Thor brought the puzzle game Fruit’Y to PlayStation Vita yesterday.
Fruit’Y – Playing with edibles is heavily inspired by the Kaiko classic Gem’X, which has been seen on computers such as the Commodore Amiga 500, Commodore 64 and Atari ST.
Although tiger mum forbids little Sheran to play with edibles, there is simply no way to stop him from playing with fruits found inside the deep jungle. Being shiny, smelling wonderful and tasting even better Sheran can’t be kept away. So let’s do the best we could do: Support him!
The game consists of two boards of fruits. The left field belongs to Sheran who needs to reproduce the right field 1:1 being able to proceed to the next level. Sounds easy?!
