It is not a game is an app to show you ads. ### 2/5 — Hard as F *2016-08-17, version 1.3* This game needs an intro of how hard to jump. It's really hard to figure it out. It's super addicting, but I can't get passed 2. "Swing" is a much better game from ketchapp ### 2/5 — Stupid difficulty, entirely luck based *2016-08-02, version 1.3* If the same style of game that had a way to jump that wasn't phone-smashingly annoying, then it would be good, but it's not ### 3/5 — Hard and Random *2016-06-18, version 1.3* Like many of their other games, this is a challenging platformer-styled game with a single movement that you use to different effect to traverse the level until you fail. Unlike some of the other Ketchapp games, there's not really a pattern or level to learn and so you can't really get into a rhythm that helps with the difficulty. It makes for something that's very fun when you have more short distance platforms that you can try to skip for extra points, but very frustrating when you have just a few high, very spread platforms. ### 3/5 — Spring Ninja *2016-06-15, version 1.3* I like spring ninja a little and its a little hard ### 3/5 — Challenge, but needs intro levels *2016-05-04, version 1.3* While most talk about muscle memory with this game, it's not quite right. Sure, you need to know how long to hold and release, but you do not develop "muscle memory" when there is nothing to remember. The randomness of the gaps even from the start prevent the memory. If the game did not reset the targets each round then the start would be easier to develop some memory. ### 2/5 — Boo *2016-03-22, version 1.3* Too much muscle memory :( ### 4/5 — Great *2016-03-05, version 1.3* Simple concept, hard to master! ### 4/5 — Mad😡😡😡 *2016-02-16, version 1.3* Every time I tap the app to get in it it goes on and then it goes back to the home screen ### 3/5 — Sort of muscle memory sort of luck *2016-02-14, version 1.3* It's a little too impossible to really nail the muscle memory but I suppose if you got really really good you could figure it out. It's just too steep a learning curve to make it worth while. ### 2/5 — :/ *2016-01-17, version 1.3* Games frustrating. No meter. No time for dat ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Control *2018-02-04, version 1.3* You can’t control where he will go ### 1/5 — Sick joke *2017-02-01, version 1.3* This game is so hard it's like a sick joke. Do people think games like this are fun? I enjoy games that don't make me want to throw my phone across the room. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time! *2017-01-19, version 1.3* I felt this game is to challenging! Tried several times to give it a chance and it doesn't get any easier. Deleting it now off my phone. ### 1/5 — Not fun *2016-09-29, version 1.3* It's not fun. Nothing more to say. ### 1/5 — Wasted potential; add-riddled *2016-07-07, version 1.3* I would love playing this. It's fun, cute, attractive. But having to play with constant flashing banner ads, and full screen ads that pop up every few minutes? It's like playing flash games on the Internet in the late '90s. I thought we all went along with Apple's crusade against flash to get AWAY from this dredge. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2016-02-05, version 1.3* Just ads and no fun ### 1/5 — Boring *2016-01-27, version 1.3* Don't wast your time. ### 1/5 — Takes Luck *2016-01-08, version 1.3* Really wanted to enjoy this game but there is no skill to it you have to get lucky ### 1/5 — A reason to show you ads *2015-12-23, version 1.3* This is a thinly veiled game designed to show you as many ads as possible. The game relies more on luck than skill, you die all the time, and you get shown more ads. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Ads, die, repeat. *2015-12-22, version 1.3* Games like this are why I will stop getting games on iOS. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-10-05, version 1.3* This is my favorite ketchapp game, it’s really fun, a little difficult, and it’s overall just a great game. Btw, I like to call the ninja “the little ketchup ninja”. ### 5/5 — Ok *2018-01-15, version 1.3* It’s a fun game but it’s hard and I am 10 ### 5/5 — SO hard, but strangely addictive *2017-11-13, version 1.3* The turns are randomly generated, that’s why it’s so hard. You have no standard to practice off of. You need very good judgement of the situation, And how much spring tension you need to get you through the jump. It is a GREAT game, but the only criticism I have is that the rate at which you earn a metal should be shorter, so maybe you get a bronze at 8pts, not 10. It’s SO addictive though, I strongly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great addicting *2017-02-02, version 1.3* It is just hard enough to challenge you and keep you wanting more ### 5/5 — Great *2016-06-04, version 1.3* Love it ### 5/5 — No flaw just hard *2016-03-11, version 1.3* The tension of the spring is altered by how long the player touches the screen, it's the entire premise of the game. Touching the screen for a longer period of time results in more tension in the spring, causing a longer jump. Its not rocket science guys. Please don't leave negative reviews if you lack understanding. This game is a true old school game, meaning it is based on a very simple premise, but yet it is extremely difficult, it doesn't coddle the player like a baby, and it requires supreme skill, muscle memory, split second timing, and intuition. If you judge it for what it is, it's awesome. Its too bad so many players think this game is purely luck and chance, which shows just how unimaginative and unskilled some modern gamers are. This is the one game i wont delete because its so challenging (and thus rewarding). All it takes is a little practice. ### 5/5 — 10/10 would play again *2015-11-05, version 1.3* Best game ever ### 4/5 — Glitch *2016-12-19, version 1.3* It is super hard but fun. It kicked me off the game after like 4 times trying to play. ### 4/5 — Great *2016-07-09, version 1.3* Bought the ad free upgrade. Please add a feature where the ninja just auto starts the next level after falling in the water. Don't make me keep having to press the "start again" button! Also, with the upgraded version, give the ability to replay the same board over and over if desired. ### 4/5 — Fun~ *2016-06-13, version 1.3* Tried to be a ninja, but ninja fall down. Now ninja dead X.X. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
