Fruit Ninja®

Swipe, slice, splatter: Fruit Ninja from Halfbrick Studios is the fruit-slicing arcade game that helped define touchscreen gaming. Fruit is tossed into the air, and a finger acts as a blade to cut it apart before it falls, while bombs mixed into the throws must be avoided.

Three classic modes remain the backbone. Classic is endless: keep slicing, skip the bombs and do not let fruit drop. Arcade is a race for a high score, boosted by special bananas that double points, freeze the action or trigger a frenzy. Zen removes the pressure entirely for relaxed slicing. On top of those sit power-ups that raise scores, an Event mode with clashes against characters such as Truffles the pig, Mari and Rinjin that award new swords and dojos, and a daily Challenge mode with prizes. Friends can compete on a shared screen locally or compare scores on a leaderboard, and there are minigames themed on Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots.

The game has 500,000,000+ installs and about 5.3 million ratings with a 4.4 average; 77% are five stars and 10% are one star. It is free with ads, and in-app purchases run from $0.99 to $179.99 per item. An update landed on 2026-09-18. It requires Android 6.0 or newer, is rated Everyone, and we list 36 versions; the current 3.97.8 is 357.5 MB.

Anyone after short bursts of satisfying reflex play, including families who want local multiplayer, will find it holds up well. Players who dislike ads or high-priced extras should approach with care.
