Community Insight:
We remember playing this when we were like a baby on our grandmas iPad lol but it was to hard for us so when we were older we totally forgot the name and just kept searching frog in the App Store but we found it now and nitrome games are awesome all you can find in the App Store most of the time is blah blah blah io whatever simulator and not actually good games.
We LOOOOOOOVE IT!! We REMEMBER PLAYING IT SINCE we WAS A BABY AND ITS STILL SO GOOOOOOOOOD!! :D.
So we used to play it on our tablet when we were little then lost progress when it broke and didn't go back to it until now we can finally pass levels we couldn't before since now we're smarter.
We love us some Nitrome games, and this one was lovely as well. Wish there were more levels and/or boss fights.
There are many games based on this gameplay that are much older, with much less aesthetic, and are much more impressive. The gameplay is slow and almost appears laggy when its just the choice made for the game. The audio cues feel like they were picked out of the default sound choices. The style is the only thing appealing but its nothing special.
Very good game to play on spare time and the game makes you want to play every level and get to the scary last level where you think there's ninja boss..oh wait 1 enemy that stands still with nothing that can kill you great we just wasted our life if you don't add a boss or something we'll make this a 1 star review cause that's messed up.
Boring gameplay with little challenge.
You should add a level creator an online level browser and player. You can pick a level and play it. You can offer level packs. All of this is suggested. Still, we just want more levels in this amazing game.
We're not much into games and such but this game is kinda addictive !!! No joke.
Best game ever we recommend it to EVERYONE.
With all the crappy pay-to-win free games this is bringin hope back in us that there is Still amazing free games even with ads , you can just pay once to remove them , we miss the days when you had to pay just once for great games.
Very well made and very challenging. Some puzzles require elaborate thought. Played this on our iPhone 5s and did not experience the crashes people are talking about. Have to agree with the adds, though. But hey, it's a free game.
Green Ninja is srsly tots fun. It's a lot like Silly Sausage in Meat Land, which is also by Nitrome. If it costed money, it would srsly, still be worth it. If you like ninjas, (or frogs, since he is a frog after all) or both, you should totally get this game! We have rated 5 stars, but we rlly wanna give it 100! We recommend this game for everybody, so if wondering if you should get this game, plz just take our advice, click the get button, then click install, then wait for it to load, and when it's done… BAM! PLAY IT! Awesome job making Green Ninja, Nitrome. Keep up the good work.
Great game. Fun puzzles to be solved, with the only downside being it wasn't longer.
We really loved this game just wish there were more levels. It's s great puzzle solving game.
Challenges us sometimes and it's fun to play, but the ads are getting out of hand, showing up whenever we pass a level. It's vexing.
It is a really fun and addicting game but the reason u give it 3 stars is because after every level we either complete or fail there is and add, and most of the time it crashes our game, but otherwise, it's a great game.
If we could play for more than 10-20 seconds this game might be all right.
After the minor update yesterday, we were hoping for faster graphics for people without iOS 8. It is still slow and glitchy, and the ads seem to have become even more horrendous.
When we tap the app, the green screen comes up for a split second and the app immediately closes.
Completing every single level (and getting every single achievement) was very satisfying but very painful to do, so watched some videos on how to complete SOME levels (level 48 and level 51 – 65). Im glad that its done and over with.
Remove adds and add talking words while playing thanks.
Makes you use your brain, challenging in a very amusing way.
You make the best iOS games. We always look forward to your releases. Keep 'em coming. Don't change the format. Thanks.
We love this game and we finished all the levels. Please add more levels.
How is this 12+ we mean it should be 4+ butt nooooo it's 12+ we doesn't have much violence and what is wrong with the rating.
We were reading reviews and we can't wait to try it out we gave it a five star already and love your games.
This game is a lot of fun. It starts out easy enough but as you progress it gets pretty complicated.
Nitrome makes the best games. Never stop.
Best game ever love love love it iGive.
The title says it all, from a quality company as well. Thanks for the GC achievements which make us keep coming back. We removed the ads to support your game.
Love this game it's really fun,cute and challenging. We really hope you guys add more levels and make it a saga like candy crush.
This is there second best released game on the app store by Nitrome, next to magic touch. Great graphics, awesome puzzles, clean looking app and runs smoothly on our iPhone 5s. This is one ill keep Nitrome way to go.
This game is great. It's fun, cute, and challenging. It's fun to play just to pass the time.
Played nitrome games ever since we were a kid. Sad to see you guys aren't getting a lot of attraction. If you guys advertised more the apps you have would get so much popularity just from the amount of good work you put into your games.
Its really fun if u just have a few minutes and want to pass the time.
If the worst thing we can think to say about a game is it was too short then it must be pretty good. Great art style, level design, music, and themes.
Reminds us of ookibloks. Good fun and great style.
Fun game but way too many ads. 20 minutes in, our desire to play went downhill due to the high frequency of the ads.
Graphics are terrible, the frog is super annoying and this is a terrible game. What the heck is even the point of the game? We played two levels and realized our toddler could play the game with ease and immediately deleted it off of our iPhone. Sorry, no good. How does this app have such good ratings.
We PURCHASED THE "REMOVE ADS" FOR $1.99 AND IT DID NOT REMOVE ADS. WHEN CLICKING THE "RESTORE PURCHASE" BUTTONNOTHING HAPPENS. DEVELOPERFIX THIS NOW.
