Fruit Ninja took three days to make, and nine other things you didn't know

![][1]

It's one of the games on iPhone and iPad that embodies pure, beautiful simplicity, so who knew [Fruit Ninja][2] had so much to hide? Developer [Halfbrick Studios][3] had executive producer Luke Muscat and marketing officer Phil Larson [tell GameSpot Australia][4] 10 things that we didn't know about its mega-popular fruit flayer. Well ... until now.

How about the fact that Fruit Ninja's base concept of slicing flying fruit took a mere three days to make? (The rest of development was all about that gorgeous polish.) Did you know that Fruit Ninja is currently being played in hospitals as part of a study with Neuroscience Australia to help treat stroke patients? Oh, the things you never knew about your phone's primary function.
