Google gets fruity to 'apPEEL' to your Olympic cravings

The Rio Olympics 2016 will be kicking off later today, and to celebrate it, Google’s homepage features a video doodle in place of the company logo. The video introduces you to Google’s way of celebrating the Rio Olympics 2016 with its Doodle Fruit Games, which can be played by downloading the official Google app. The app, available on Android as well as on iOS, will be featuring different games every day for the next seven days. 

 

The app features a bike racing game, water polo game, spider hurdle jumping game, fruit tennis with coconut and pineapple for now, but we’re sure Google will be adding more such Olympic events based games every day. Along with these, there’s also a strawberry in the video that is avoiding getting crushed by a huge rolling watermelon, making it to the finish line by the end of the video. 

The free game app enables you to compete with other players around the world, which are also fruits from the fruit stand, just like you in a championship to win the title of “freshest fruit”.
