If the player loses all three lives, they will have to restart the game at the beginning. The game also includes a variety of bonus items such as tomatoes, cupcakes and mushrooms that provide extra points when collected. If the timer runs out, the player will be taken to the next level automatically, but they will lose a life. The game allows one life per level and has a build-in timer. Each game level starts with the same combination of fruit and bonuses, which varies, meaning the player must memorize the specific orders of fruit in order to progress to the next level. Tutti Frutti features three levels of difficulty Easy, Medium, and Hard. The objective for the player is to navigate the maze while avoiding the ghosts, dubbed 'Inky' and 'Blinky', and identify the order of the fruit appearing on the borders of the maze.
When this period has elapsed, the real game begins and the fruits and bonuses rapidly move around and rotate up and down the walls of the mazes. A single-player game, it is a variant of the popular Pac-Man-style maze games, but with a focus on earning points by memorizing different combinations of fruits and bonuses as they rapidly move and rotate up and down the sides of the mazes.Īt the start of the game, the player has a short period of time to observe each of the eight fruits and bonuses by watching them appear and disappear from the screens. Tutti Frutti is a classic 8-bit arcade game released by the Atari Corporation in 1982.
