KNIFE!
Kitchen Carnage is a Mobile Phone Game based on The Annoying Orange, and the first ever game made for the series. The game revolves around you throwing various living fruits into blenders or onto cutting boards in order to earn as many points as you can before the timer runs out. The game also features an endless mode, and a "Balloon Pop" challenge, where you must pop as many balloons as you can.
Developed by Bottle Rocket and published by Eastedge Studios, the game was released in 2011 for iOS and Android, and soon spawned a semi-sequel in the form of Splatter Up! in 2013, an another much later in 2020 called Skewerz.
Kitchen Carnage contains examples of:
- Artistic License – Physics: The "Balloon Pop" mode has you trying to pop as many of the balloons that are carrying all of the different enemy fruits in the game, including one that would be too heavy for the balloons to carry their weight like the cantaloupe and pineapple.
- Asshole Victim: Near the end of the promotional web series episode for the game, Orange and Pear decide to shut their mouths to prevent any more foods from being killed, only for the apple they're trying to save to eagerly insult them for fun, which frustrates Pear enough to angrily call him out, allowing the apple to be sliced apart by a knife.
- Beware the Nice Ones: In the promotional web series episode for the game, Pear, who is normally kind and well-meaning if frequently agitated by Orange's antics, delivers a scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the Jerkass apple he and Orange were initially trying to save, thus allowing the knife to seal his fate.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: The game encourages you to throw the various sentient fruits into blenders, painfully juicing them to death.
- Endless Game: While the main mode is already a high score-based game, the endless mode removes the timer, meaning you can now rack your score up indefinitely until you decide to quit.
- Fun With Blenders: The main method of killing fruits is by throwing them into one of several blenders, with the amount of points you get from doing so being multiplied by the numbers on the body of the blender.
- Hate Sink: The unnamed apple from the web episode made to promote the game is presented as a complete Jerkass who does nothing more than insult Orange and Pear for the sake of angering them. This not only frustrates Orange (who is uncharacteristically mad the whole time), but it also frustrates Pear, who is so infuriated by the apple's harassment, that he angrily speaks up to call him out, thus allowing the knife to seal the bully's fate.
- Invisible Anatomy: A promotional render for the game features Orange holding a phone to play the game, despite not having any hands.
- Limited Animation: The game very simply adapts the series' Synchro-Vox style via Mouth Flaps on the characters' lips.
- No Plot? No Problem!: The game simply involves you trying to kill as many fruits as you can for points.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: In the promotional web episode, Pear delivers a short, yet serious one to the apple that decided to insult him and Orange when they were trying to save him.The Bad Apple: What's your pal's name? Mister Green Jeans? (laughs obnoxiously)
Pear: Oh I'm sorry, we were just trying to save your life, but then you, you gotta go and be an apple. Well you know what?
The Bad Apple: What?
Orange: Knife!
(the apple is then cut in half while screaming in pain) - Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: In the promotional web episode for the game, it's heavily implied (if not outright confirmed) that Pear has become so frustrated with the Jerkass apple he and Orange had previously tried to save by not saying a word to him, that he decides to speak up despite knowing it'll allow the apple to be killed by the human.
- Resized Vocals: The corn cob has a noticeably high-pitched voice whenever they speak.
- Synchro-Vox: Much like the show, all of the character assets in this game have their actors' eyes and mouths added to real pictures of fruit in post, though in a much choppier way.
- They Killed Kenny Again: No matter how many times a specific fruit dies, they will always reappear somehow.
- Villainy-Free Villain: The apple from the promotional episode of the web series, while not an outright criminal, is still presented as an Asshole Victim for maliciously insulting Orange and Pear purely because he can.
- Villain Protagonist: It's implied that you're playing as a human who's slaughtering many of the sentient fruits for no defined reason.
