Halfbrick's often imitated but never duplicated original fruit slicing game.

It’s for gamers who enjoy fast-paced action.

FREE ($1.99) For a limited time FREE ($1.99) For a limited time

Why we picked this?

Fruit Ninja was rebuilt with its latest update. Fruits of many shapes and sizes enter the screen from all angles. It's up to you to slice them into juicy bits before they leave. String together combos using multitouch controls to climb the leaderboards. Just watch out for those dreaded bombs! Each blade now comes with a unique effect that will change the gameplay, so try to play around with them to see which best suits your style.

If you like competing with friends on leaderboards, this is the game for you. It originally lit up the App Store in 2010 and is still somehow able to do it today.

This is tried and true gameplay, which means you might have already played a knockoff. If so, there’s not much new here.
