World and Mission

Fruit crosses a bright treetop arena in 30 short stages. The opening levels teach readable arcs; crosswind arrives at stage 4, before the Lantern Checkpoint at stage 5. Stages 6–10 continue with shifting wind, 11–15 add twilight shadows, 16–20 weave in moving branches, and 21–25 combine active light signals with pulse timing. Stages 26–30 bring those cues together. A dark seed pod ends the run; clearing a stage requires at least one safe harvest and fewer than three misses. Checkpoint fruit appears at stages 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30.

How the Systems Work

Drag across fruit in the live arena to collect it; every successful hit raises the score and can extend the chain.

Wind, weaving targets, dark-pod shadows, light signals, and pulse timing introduce distinct reading decisions as the campaign grows.

Clear stages unlock the next stage, while cleared stages remain replayable. Progress and each stage best are saved locally in this browser.

Stages 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 are checkpoint stages with a highlighted checkpoint fruit to mark the arc transition.

How to Play

  1. Choose any unlocked stage and wait for the ready cue to finish.
  2. Drag across visible safe fruit with one continuous swipe.
  3. Follow the next arc instead of chasing a target that has already left the arena.
  4. Avoid dark seed pods and adjust to wind, weaving, signal, or rhythm cues.
  5. Clear the stage to unlock the next one, or use Retry and Stages to replay and route through the campaign.

Strategy Tips

  • Start with the closest fruit, then extend the same stroke only when the next target is clearly safe.
  • Leave space around dark pods; a shorter clean swipe is better than a risky chain.
  • Treat the checkpoint fruit as a route-reading test, not a reason to rush.
  • Watch the score and chain feedback to confirm that your gesture changed the board.
  • A common risky swipe is to keep extending a stroke toward fruit that has already left the arena. Take the safe fruit whose path is clear, then reset your read for the next arc; keep harvesting until the timer ends. Three missed fruit end the run, while checkpoint fruit is an optional replay challenge.

Campaign and Difficulty Growth

Stages 1–3 teach readable fruit arcs; sidewind arrives at stage 4, before the Lantern Checkpoint at stage 5. Stages 6–10 continue with changing wind. Stages 11–15 introduce twilight shadows, 16–20 add weaving branches, and 21–25 pair active light signals with pulse timing. Stages 26–30 combine the cues for the Grand Canopy Finale.

Developer Design Note

Canopy Cut is an original swipe-first arcade game with its own canopy art, target pacing, hazard language, and direct gesture feedback; the visible fruit response is the core player reward.

FAQ

How do I score?
Swipe across safe fruit while it is visible; successful hits add score and may build a chain.
What ends a stage?
Three misses end the stage. A clear stage ends when its short timer completes.
How many stages are there?
There are 30 stages in six five-stage arcs, with checkpoints at stages 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30.
Can I use a mouse?
Yes. Mouse dragging and touch dragging use the same arena gesture.
Is progress saved?
Cleared stages, the next unlocked stage, and each stage best are saved locally in this browser.
Do I have to collect the checkpoint fruit to unlock the next stage?
No. A checkpoint fruit appears in stages 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30, and the Result tells you whether you collected it. A successful stage clear unlocks the next stage without it; replay the stage if you want another try at the checkpoint.
