Early Access Version - Update (Ver.0.8.0) Information

We have released Early Access Ver.0.8.0 with the following updates. In Early Access Ver.0.8.0, we’ve added two new game rules, “Grand Harvest Festival” and “Survival Race”, along with additional features such as “Collection” and Steam Achievements. ▶︎ New Game Rule: Great Harvest

We have released Early Access Ver.0.8.0 with the following updates.

In Early Access Ver.0.8.0, we’ve added two new game rules, “Grand Harvest Festival” and “Survival Race”, along with additional features such as “Collection” and Steam Achievements.

▶︎ New Game Rule: Great Harvest

“Grand Harvest” is a 4-minute match played with larger fruits, where the player with the highest score at the end is declared the winner. However, unlike “Normal Race”, dropping a fruit off the plate results in elimination—your score stops at that moment and you can no longer play.

Here’s the unique twist: even if you get eliminated early, if your score remains the highest by the end of the match, you can still win!

In this rule, no “obstacle fruits” will appear. Instead, the spawn rate of “Grade Up”, which enlarges fruits, has been increased. Victory depends on how you make use of the limited space: will you carefully stack for stability, or go all-in and aim for chain scores?

What’s your stacking style?

▶︎ New Game Rule: Survival

In “Survival”, dropping a fruit off the plate results in immediate disqualification. On top of that, creating larger fruits allows you to send “obstacle apples” to your opponents.

When “obstacle apples” fall onto the plate, they stick together and gradually eat up valuable space. Of course, if an obstacle apple falls off the plate, it also results in disqualification. However, since there’s a short delay before they land, you have the chance to create a larger fruit to cancel them out.

“Survival Race” has no time limit—the battle continues until only one player remains. Will you chip away at your opponents by sending obstacle apples little by little, or go for massive chains to flood them all at once? Strategy and mind games will determine the winner in this new rule.

▶︎Other Fun: Collection

The long-hidden “????” option on the title screen has finally been unlocked as the “Collection” feature!

With this feature, you can change to a variety of patterned plates and enjoy playing with new styles. Each plate has its own unlock conditions, and by meeting them, you’ll be able to obtain new plates.

Additionally, if you have purchased and installed any of the following BeXide Indie titles on Steam—

“The Fox’s Way Home”, “Fruit Mountain”, “SUPER BULLET BREAK”, or “Persha and the Magic Labyrinth -Arabian Nyaights-”—you’ll receive a special plate themed after each game.

Switch to your favorite design and add a splash of style to your matches!

▶︎ Other Fun: Steam Achievements

This update also introduces Steam Achievements. From easy-to-complete goals to more challenging ones, there’s a wide variety to tackle. Give them a try and aim to unlock them all!

▶︎ Partial Rule Changes to “Fruit of the Sun”

Taking into account the nature of this rule—where the golden color makes it difficult to distinguish fruits—we’ve adjusted the system so that when a fruit falls off the plate, the plate’s state is reset and the accumulated score is reduced to 0.

Because this rule makes it hard to distinguish fruits by color alone, accuracy in recognizing differences in shape, skin, and stems—as well as careful risk management when dropping fruits—becomes even more important.

As the match approaches its final stages, each throw carries greater weight, and the chance for dramatic comebacks grows. This creates tense, exciting battles right up to the very end.

＜Future Update Information＞

To make “Fruit Mountain Party” even more enjoyable, we’re preparing a polished full release—reflecting your feedback and refining the overall experience—scheduled for 2025!

We’re always welcoming your thoughts and feedback on the official Discord server, in the #fmp-talk channel. Please feel free to share your candid opinions with us!

Stay tuned for further updates regarding detailed content and release timing.

We truly appreciate your continued support for “Fruit Mountain Party”!

◆ Early Access is Now Live!

The globally acclaimed puzzle game “Fruit Mountain,” beloved for its simple yet profound gameplay, has now been reborn as the brand-new competitive party game “Fruit Mountain Party.”

Carrying over the original rule of merging the same fruits to grow them bigger, this new entry transforms the experience into a strategic and heated battle. With powerful items, clever tactics, and thrilling mind games, players can enjoy the action solo or in matches of up to four players.

◼︎ Discover the Greatly Enhanced Features in Early Access!

① Enjoy “Battle Mode” Anytime, Anywhere

"Fruit Battle" Mode

In the offline “Fruit Battle” mode, you can enjoy “Solo Play” against COM players, or dive into “Multiplayer” matches with family and friends.

"Online Versus" ModeIn the online “Versus Mode”, you can battle players from around the world through “Random Match”, or take on specific opponents using the “Room Match” feature. Plus, with Steam’s Remote Play Together, you can even enjoy matches with friends who don’t own the game themselves.

Note: To use Remote Play Together, invited players will also need a Steam® account.

"Time Attack" ModeCompete against the computer while aiming for the fastest time to make the largest fruit, the watermelon. If you use items well, you may be able to significantly improve your records!

② New “Game Rules” to Test Your Skills, Plus Dozens of Fresh Fruits!

Standard Race

< Featured Fruits >

Toss fruits onto the plate, merge the same types to create bigger ones, and compete for the highest score against your opponents. If you manage to complete the ultimate fruit—the Watermelon—within the time limit, you instantly win! Will you play it safe for points, or aim for a one-shot victory? The choice—and the mind games—are yours.

Thief Frenzy

< Featured Fruits >In this mode, the appearance rate of the “Fruit Thief” item skyrockets! Alongside newly added quirky-shaped fruits like Cherries and Purple Grapes, the thrill lies in stealing fruits from other players—or having yours stolen in return. Expect nonstop tension and wild, unpredictable twists, with heated comebacks in the final moments making this a truly high-energy game rule.

Fruit of the Sun

< Featured Fruits >All fruits are newly introduced in this mode—and they’re all golden. With color no longer a reliable cue, confusion is inevitable. You’ll have to rely on shapes and subtle details, making quick yet careful judgments. A single mistake can swing the match—watch out for look-alikes!

Even more game rules are planned to be added by the time of the official release—so stay tuned!

◆ The Evolution Continues! Upcoming Update Information!

To make “Fruit Mountain Party” even more enjoyable for players around the world, we plan to continue strengthening features and adding new competitive elements. The first milestone will be on September 25, when we release an Update Version featuring five brand-new elements.

We have released Ver.1.1.0 with the following updates:

Update Details

Revamped “Single Play” Mode
The previous “Practice with CPU” mode has been reborn as “Single Play”!
What was once a 1v1 format has now been expanded into a 4-player battle featuring the player plus three CPU opponents.
Even when playing solo, you can now fully experience the strategic depth and excitement that the game is all about.

Selectable Waiting Method for Random Matches
You can now choose how long to wait when entering a Random Match: “Short” (up to 60 seconds) “Long”
If you select “Short” and matchmaking doesn’t complete within 60 seconds, CPU players will be added to start a 4-player match.
If you select “Long,” the game will keep waiting until you’re matched with other players. A 60-second countdown begins when you’re first matched with another player. Once the timer reaches zero, the game starts with the number of players currently waiting in the matchmaking queue.

Various UI Adjustments
We’ve updated various UI elements in accordance with the above changes.
Whether you’re trying the demo for the first time or have been playing since its initial release, this new version offers a refreshed experience.
The updated demo is now available on Steam starting today!

Introducing the Game Rules! See what's changed for versus play!

The basic rules are unchanged from the previous title.

Combine fruits of the same kind to make them bigger!

Keep growing your fruits bigger and bigger to aim for victory!

Victory goes to the player who earns the highest score in 4 minutes, or the one who creates a watermelon first! It's up to you which strategy to pursue: focus intensely on making many large fruits to rack up your score, or carefully aim to complete a watermelon.

In this game, dropping fruit won't end your run; you can keep playing!

In Fruit Mountain, if fruit fell off the plate, it was game over. But in Fruit Mountain Party, that won't happen. However, dropping fruit will result in a score deduction and you'll lose any items you've acquired. So, try your best not to let them fall!

Interfere with your opponents using Jammer Fruit and Items!

When you create a large fruit, the Jammer Fruit will be sent to your rival. Send them many to interfere with their game.

Additionally, making large fruits will also cancel out any the Jammer Fruit your rival sends your way. the Jammer Fruit will drop at the location of the gray marker.

You'll randomly get an 'Item' when your Item Gauge is full! The Item Gauge fills up by throwing in fruits or by chaining combos. You can use an item by pressing the X button or the Z key.

There are 7 types of items!

	[Paint] Hurl paint to cover a random player's screen, obstructing their view.
	[Upgrade] Increases the size of the fruit in your hand by one stage.
	[Jammer Fruit / Jammer Fruitx3] Drops Jammer Fruit onto a random player's plate.
	[Minus Fruit / Minus Fruitx3] Drops Minus fruit onto a target player's plate, shrinking their fruit.
	[Fruit Thief] Steals the second-largest fruit from a target player's plate.

Keep growing your fruits to send back Jammer Fruit' and utilize various 'Items' to gain an advantage!

The demo will remain free to play even after the Steam Next Fest concludes.

Our staff also join random matches, so be sure to challenge them!

Steam demo of Fruit Mountain Party

Starting June 9th, the demo for Fruit Mountain Party is now available and ready for online play. Battle it out alongside friends and challenges from all around the world to be the reigning monarch of fruit!

The fully released build of the game will feature additional modes to suit a variety of playstyles. There will be a single-player mode whereby players can practice or play against the CPU, local battles on a single PC and online battles, including an invitation-based matching system.

Take on randomized matching in “Fruit Race”

In the demo version of this mode, players will be matched up against random opponents from around the world. Stack your fruit on the stage and the first player to make a watermelon (the largest fruit in the game) will be named the winner.

This mode also has a new system that features a gauge. You can fill this gauge by throwing fruit and combining fruits on the stage. Once it’s full, players will be able to use unique items with some devastating effects! There’s even a “Minus Fruit” item which will shrink your opponent’s fruit so watch out!

Don’t forget “solo play” mode where you can get your practice in against the CPU while still following the typical rules of Fruit Mountain Party. Use this mode to warm up before the real battles begin, or just unwind in your spare time through some low stakes play.

Don’t miss out on the chance to play Fruit Mountain Party! Play the free demo version and enjoy heated fruit x puzzle battles!
