### 4/5 — Dismemberment

*2023-02-11, version 1.7*

Fun game but game is gory decapitating heads, leg chopping and slicing arms off just like that fruit slice game the game is addicting gore and blood is not realistic so I would rate this a 13+

### 3/5 — Coins

*2020-08-30, version 1.7*

I bought coins but I didn’t even go onto the game so we’ll see if the money goes back into my account or the coins come into the game ://

### 4/5 — Love it but.....

*2020-01-06, version 1.7*

I really love pocket ninjas had it for about almost two days and I’m already addicted the game is great to play would of given it five stars if we didn’t have to watch a add that’s not skip able after every game it gets quit annoying maybe tone the adds down.

### 3/5 — Troppe pubblicità

*2018-07-11, version 1.7*

Bellissimo gioco niente da dire, ma una pubblicità ogni volta che fai una partita non si può sopportare

### 2/5 — This version now has ads in it - what the hell!

*2017-09-28, version 1.7*

Why has Chartboost invaded a game I paid for, and with stupid ads no less!

### 4/5 — Wayyyyy too many ads

*2016-04-02*

I love this game but in the middle of playing an ad pops up out of nowhere while you are swiping and you get sent to the App Store otherwise the game is great

### 4/5 — So cute

*2015-12-08*

So far, I've been playing this game & i find it adorable. Its a cute 2D game, similar controls compared to fruit ninja. However, there are some bugs and glitches that need to be fixed. 

A multiplayer option should be available to play with/against other players across the world, & more options available due to armor and weaponry.

### 4/5 — Pocket Ninjas

*2015-08-28*

This game is very addictive and fun. It would've been 5 stars if it weren't for the Audio. The audio in-game is very weak and sounds blurry. Please update so it sounds better

### 3/5 — ITS SO ANNOYING REALLY!!!!!!!

*2015-08-13, version 1.5.2*

I always die and please make it easier to get coins cause I really want to get more stuff and that's what's annoying me pls fix that that and pls make a Assassin outfit and pls make stuff cheaper and make bombs not come as much as befor if u do update it and also get the game it's better the fruit ninja.

### 3/5 — Fun but..

*2015-08-08*

This game is fun and addicting, if I were to rate this game just on that it would be a 5 star game however, I came across a few issues. 
1: if you delete this app for whatever reason you can't get anything you earned back 
2: sometimes it takes awhile for things to update if you want to buy for example the lowest amount of coins you can buy is 1,000 for 0.99 the most is around 60,000 the issue being when you tap on one then tap on another it doesn't update the price so it'll say that 60,000 coins is 0.99 when it's really around $6.00
3: I don't know if anyone else is having this issue but the sound effects aren't working I've tried everything to get it to work but nothing works and I don't want to delete the app and reinstall because I'll lose all my things. 

Please fix these issues and this game will easily be 5/5 for me

### 1/5 — ads, ads, ads!

*2016-05-08*

I can't say much about the game, because I can't play it. Second I tried, 5 - 7 ads, several of which auto open the app store, thunder lag my device. Then, once I finally get rid of them all, the game freezes and won't even let me play the first level. EPIC FAIL! Deleting immediately.

### 1/5 — RESTORE

*2014-04-13, version 1.5.2*

Restore edemiyorum

### 1/5 — Fruit Ninja Rip-Off

*2014-03-08, version 1.5.2*

Easily one of stupidest games I've ever played. Not sure if this is the only game other reviewers have ever played in their lives, or if all of the reviews are written by the company that built the game. It's nothing but a rip-off of Fruit Ninja, with much worse graphics and terrible physics.

### 1/5 — Get fruit ninja

Terrible copy of fruit ninja

### 1/5 — Terrible. Too many ads etc

Awful, could be fun. But the constant ads and attempted game centre log in EVERY TIME A NEW RESTART begins, made it unplayable
