  1. [R6] Clumsy Ninja 3/5 · US My review: I like this program a lot, it’s fun and stuff, but I wish they had more things to do, like maybe games that you get to play if you move up a level, 3 stars
  2. [R15] Clumsy Ninja 3/5 · GB Fun but repetitive: I do find this game very enjoyable, but it can sometimes feel so repetitive and endless. I know this game is about a clumsy ninja, but this ninja is just outright stupid. Why does he just kick mid air for a full two minutes when he’s supposed to be kicking a dummy? Aside from that, I’ve almost mastered every training item. I’m on level 50 and it just doesn’t seem like there’s m
  3. [R69] Fruit Ninja® 3/5 · US Options: Some options were removed, and the interface was changed. Then again, the game is still good. lol
  4. [R102] Fruit Ninja® 3/5 · GB Used to be fun: Re-downloaded this after having not played it for a few years because I wanted some good childhood fun but then I discovered that the method to unlocking new blades and dojos had been completely overhauled and turned into a cheap ploy to get you to buy boxes in order for a CHANCE to unlock anything you wanted in the first place (and not to mention duplicates?? Very user-unfriendly
  5. [R10] Clumsy Ninja 1/5 · US Disappointment: I loved playing the game. I had gotten to level 25, and even spend 5 dollars for extra gems and costumes. However. The game wouldn’t launch, had to delete and reinstall. Now, since Clumsy Ninja doesn’t support any type of save or help keep track of your save. Everything’s gone. Progress, coins, gems. So thanks.
  6. [R40] Clumsy Ninja 1/5 · GB Reset data: I lost all my progress and in app purchases what the hell?
  7. [R64] Fruit Ninja® 1/5 · US Fix your app please: I downloaded it and I tried getting in but the app reseted its self so I tried 10 more times and nothing, what a peace of trash never downloading this app again! 😡
  8. [R110] Fruit Ninja® 1/5 · US Fix the bug already I haven’t been able to play for a whole month: I love this game but I cannot play it anymore as the game crashes on opening
  9. [R1] Clumsy Ninja 1/5 · US Lost days of progress: Don’t install and play this game if you don’t want to lose your save.
  10. [R22] Clumsy Ninja 1/5 · US No save?: Redownloaded the game and it deleted all my progress :/
  11. [R66] Fruit Ninja® 3/5 · US Keeps crashing: When I open the game, it takes me to a black screen, then crashes. Halfbrick please fix this
  12. [R32] Clumsy Ninja 5/5 · US This game is so fun I played it when I was 6 and plus every time u pay him u get coins buy this game: By Lucy
  13. [R47] Clumsy Ninja 5/5 · US Clumsy Ninja: This is the best game ever
  14. [R73] Fruit Ninja® 2/5 · US Rip off?: The game is fun but it glitches sometimes I have to close the app and restart it (it’s not my device it only happens with this app). Ads are annoying and everytime I click to pay the $1.99 to remove Ads, it plays an Ad then the app crashes out. Sound comes in and out sometimes. Paid $10 for the Bluey theme thinking that would get rid of Ads all together but nope I still get the Ads.
  15. [R114] Fruit Ninja® 2/5 · US What… the heck.: I remember this game being free about two years ago. Now I have to pay for a subscription if I want to play just this game? What if I don’t want all those other games, except for fruit ninja? I love this game but I am NOT paying 2.99 a month for it. Bring back the ads, this is worse than that.
  16. [R19] Clumsy Ninja 2/5 · US Review for this game: This game is fun but I have a problem with it. I’ve spent money on this game for outfits, coins and other things but I have lost all of it and started over losing everything I paid for and everything I’ve earned. It would be better if I were able to keep all of the things I had.
  17. [R42] Clumsy Ninja 1/5 · GB Sad times…: Used to be a great game but CANT GET MY OLD NINJA OR PROGRESS BACK. I had spent real money on the game and will never see those items again. I spent over 100£ on this game and it’s sad I won’t get any of it back so unfortunate
  18. [R97] Fruit Ninja® 1/5 · US Too many ads, can’t play: There’s so many ads and I have to click through a demo and videos and trailers, couldn’t play the game at all.
  19. [R116] Fruit Ninja® 1/5 · US Keeps glitching: I assumed the issue with the app before was because I didn’t have WiFi, but even with WiFi it still won’t work! It loads up the app and then it immediately crashes. I really wanted to relive this with my kids and hate it’s been taken.
  20. [R61] Fruit Ninja® 1/5 · US Noooooooo: Nooooooooooo
