Hiyaaaaaa!!...Hooo! Hoo!
Slash Slash!.....Swish!...SPLASH!
Mehehehe!
Woah,that's quite a Mess!
No.....i am not slicing a sheep. Geez! why would i ?

Psssst...
Do you want to join a secret cult ? The secret league of Ninjas ?? Men who fear no darkness, Men who fear no pain, Men who fear no Death! But men who HATE fruits!!
Why hate them ?.....because the last time you tried to cut a stubborn Orange, you had cut your fingers instead. It wasnt funny when you found your Wife/girlfriend laughing at you! It's never funny.

Bow down to FRUIT NINJA, the messiest game you can have for Free on the BADA App store. It's Dirty.....real dirty,...it gets your fingers wet and sticky. But you get the satisfaction! The satisfaction for a cutting a fruit right. This is the whole point of being a MAN! Practise your slicing skills on different fruits and improve your 'MANa'.

I bow to the HALFBRICK guys for creating one of the most addictive games i have ever played. The game is straight to the point. You dont have a past or a future. You have no story.You have come to sensei to learn one and only one thing. To cut fruits.

The game has many fruits. Apples, watermelons, strawberries, pears and you name it. All of these will be thrown into the air at random and you have to slash them all up without a miss. You slash with your fingers. No!....You cant use your Katana. But there are many colourful virtual blades you can use. They range from blue coloured kniefs to smoldering fire blades. Score points and unlock them by completing some events. Such as 'Slash a total of 40 bannanas' to unlock the Yellow blade. You have to use brains and chain your moves to perform combos which will give you more points. But BEWARE. The sensie is not at all as cute as he looks in the cartoon. He's a physco. He sometimes tosses up a live grenade among the fruits. And if you slash it, you are F***D. But if you try to avoid the shot you may drop the fruits which are flying around the grenade. You can only drop upto 3 fruits. Use precision moves and impress your sensei.The fruits look juicy and the slashing sound effects are very good. Backgrounds are well textured. You even have to navigate through the menu by slashing fruits.

There are two additional game play modes. Arcade and Zen. In the Zen mode, there will be no grenades but you'll have only 90 seconds to score the maximum amount of points. This is essitially a practise mode. You can learn to slow down your slashes so that you can cut more than 3 fruits at a time.
In the Arcade, things are a bit more fun. You can slash one of the special bannana to start a special event. They include Frenzy bannana, Freeze bannana, and Double bannana. Slashing the Frenzy bannana, a bunch of fruits will be thrown at once. This means you can rake up in multiple combo scores. The freeze bannana slows things down, allowing you to chain one long combo. The Double bannana multiplies your score by 2 for a short period of time. Then there are the blue grenades, which if struck will deduct 10 points.



You'll also be given fun fruit facts along the way.I had no idea kiwi fruits can tenderize meats !. Your awards and unlocked blades are displayed as a notification when you get them. Even Backgrounds are unlockable. You'll pretty much finish the entire game in a hour but you can keep playing it again and again trying to raise your scoreboard and show off your fruit killing skills to online opponents.
As i said before, this game is very addictive. Worth 100 bucks but Samsungs gives it to you for FREE! Dont we all love Free stuff ? This is the only game i have come across which doesnt have a loading screen. It gets you right into the action with just a slash!
