- “Fruit Arranger is an absolute masterpiece, with challenging mechanics that keep it constantly interesting.”
- “However, this mechanic is extremely cheapened thanks to poor programming, where there is an extremely easy bug to exploit, making 100% completion a very easy and laughable pursuit.”
- “Below I show you how to exploit the game mechanic...”
- “While this is just a reskin of other games of this type, the mechanics aren't in itself bad.”
