Community Insight:
This might be a very stupid question to ask, but can you add a 2 fruit combolopo.
It makes us phantom tax Gyat Rizzy.
It doesnt have ads, and is fun. Enough said.
We have adhd and this is a great tuning rod for when we need a couple of minutes before getting back to work.
Hyped to see the OG fruit ninja make a return, not saying that the newer ones are bad but this is just better.
THIS IS A CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC.
This brings back memories thanks to the Halfbrick devs for bringing it back with a few modern twists.
It is the best game to relieve stress.
We used to play one of these when we were a kid. It was so fun.
Ok we just got a new device for our bday and we wanted to check out the device we wanted. And we saw a girl playing fruit ninja at the store so we played it and after a while we WAS OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is so cool! Keep up the good work.
THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER THANK YOU HALFBRICK.
Its nice to re live the nostalgia.
We saw this game at the arcade and loved it so we got it on our iPad and there is no adds, and you dont even need internet! There is so many modes, and on holidays there is a themed game! There is even a mode without bombs and a two player. We dont know how it could get any better.
No paid subscriptions, we just like it the way it is.
Well, simply put this game is classy and much better than the original fruit ninja because frankly, this was the imagination of the original fruit ninja and we know that doesnt make sense but we dont care and we like this game.
It is great, but we want to some parts of the old fruit ninja classic to return.
Its fun, but Ive already maxed out the rewards the blades, and dojos.
Not gonna make an account for a phone game.
Theres so many modes about five things. One for us is the New Years Dragon one.
The best version of fruit ninja.
This game is still the ish!!!!! Leon276.
This is the best game Ive seen.
We play this every morning and afternoon to complete challenges. Its more fun.
An absolute classic and one of the best games to grace the AppStore, Fun and addictive gameplay as well as a childhood favorite. There isnt much else to say about it.
Fruit Ninja is about chopping the fruit and we love this game.
This is the original awesomeness on iPad.
We had this as a kid and we are loving it as we are older.
We grew up with fruit ninja and recently got it and all the nostalgia was coming back to us and Im so glad it hadnt changed a bit.
This game is REALLY close to the original, Barely any ads, The fruit is ninja, And it gives us nostalgia of us on our iPad when we were 8 eating hot Cheetos and playing the original, Ah good memories.
If you dont like leave to mars.
This game is really clean. Classic for a reason.
Yes, we love this game very much. Its one of our favorite games of all time and we really love the graphics and design of this game. We really hope they could update with a brand new event on Fruit Ninja. We cant wait for it.
We remember when we were about five years old and was always stealing our moms phone just to play games they where fun until we saw this one we just remember sitting in the back seat with her phone the hole playing this game its fun and entertaining now we are 11 and still playing this game it brings back so many memories.
We loved this game since 2010 and its still an awesome game thank you ! Ive had so many memories of this game.
Funny fruit game nostalgic tee hee.
Love the game! We just wish the missions would renew more often than every 24 hours.
We downloaded this game not too long ago just to remember how awesome Fruit Ninja was. It was indeed awesome.
This ones up there with Angry Birds for the all-time classic iPhone game. If you dont have it, get it.
Once we stumbled upon Fruit Ninja Classic we thought, Oh just a Retro version of Fruit Ninja. And never really looked at it, but once we decided to try it out and compare it to the original game it surpassed by at least 1000/10.
We love how that the arcade is so hard and in the new fruit ninja you cant even select a mode.
Is pretty great it teaches you how to use a sword.
When you purchase an app, its tied to your account, email and all. Halfbrick inexplicably requires (you cant play without it) you to create for yourself yet another account; go back and verify it before you can continue. You may NO LONGER play without this extra step. Even though this was paid-for for the purpose of having no ads, you are without mercy, required to give them another attack vector to assault you with email that youre forced to deal with just to you can play. Clearly, this is about circumventing something Apple has done to otherwise protect the consumer. We cant fathom why this is allowed. After all, in the Data Linked to You section of the App Privacy panel, they specifically require the exposition of Contact Info already. Why on earth would they require you to create yet another account to play a stupid game. What is afoot here.
This is the most relaxing game to play when youre unoccupied and have nothing to do. We recommend this game whenever you do.
We paid for this game years ago. We always loved the game. We logged in after years of not playing and ALL our progress is gone. Not only that but we have to sign for Halfbrick+ just to play a game we PAID for? We want a refund for this game. This is unacceptable. What is the point of paying for a game to get locked out of it and have all your progress erased.
Fruit Ninja is the best add-free game ever!!! You can watch adds to get certain rewards, but theres not annoying 5 minute adds every second. We definitely recommend this game! Some days we will be bored randomly and Fruit Ninja is the first game we go to. We usually dont bother to write a review on a game, but we feel like this awesome game needs to be downloaded! Do it!!! You wont regret it.
Its an entertaining game ..we love it.
We're a Chinese player who said before that we can't get the active blade. We're very happy to get the active blade.But many blades have no skills. We just hope that the blade skills will be launched soon.
We just finished a game and now it is making us sign in to play we cant even get on without signing in! And we dont want to sign in and it wont let you X out of it ! Please make it where we can play without signing in. This is one of our favorite games here.
Classic game growing up and it has a new little spin on it. Very good come back with this new Halfbrick bringing back old games too! Very cool.
