Halfbrick’s Fruit Ninja was a casual success story, but it wasn’t much of a game. It was simplistic, at best, and annoying at worst. I know there are people out there who absolutely love it, but I have a feeling they’re the same people who were really into Doodle Jump. They were people who weren’t playing a lot of games over the past ten years or who were relatively new to games.

Let’s cut to the chase: Halfbrick has another iOS hit on their hands, but there’s no way it will be as successful as Fruit Ninja. Fruit Ninja was a casual blast that everyone could pick up, play, and understand. Jetpack Joyride, though easy enough to understand, is not that game.
