Fruit

Fruits are large coloured hit objects present in osu!catch beatmaps. A hyperfruit will be generated on a fruit once the next fruit or drop is uncatchable by normal dashing.

Successfully catching a fruit will earn the player score, increase the combo by 1, provide a boost to the health bar, and is treated as 300 in the result screen. If the player fails to catch a fruit it will result in a combobreak and a loss in health.
