Why, hello there, totally random IP crossover! In case you weren’t aware, this year marks the 30th anniversary of one of my all-time favorite movies, Ghostbusters, and apparently an appropriate way to celebrate that is with… an update to Fruit Ninja (Free)? Yes, it sounds weird, but that’s totally the case, and in fact it’s a really nice update for fans of both brands.
The two big new items in this update are a Ghostbusters blade and dojo, available for free to all who update. The blade acts just like the proton beams that are fired out of the Ghostbusters’ proton packs, and it’s a very cool visual effect. It also comes with a special power-up where you can “cross beams" and create an explosion of proton beams that absolutely annihilates any fruit that are foolish enough to appear on screen. This, too, is a very cool visual effect and also makes you feel like quite the bad ass.
As for the dojo, it’s a brick background that’s a clever nod to the abandoned Pneumatic Transit subway line from Ghostbusters II, and comes with the perk of ghost traps. Slice a trap that comes flying across the screen and it will unleash a huge batch of fruit. Combine the blade’s beam crossing power-up with a couple of those traps, and you’ve got yourself a serious scoring opportunity.
Really though, in addition to those two specific additions with the blade and the dojo, the entirety of Fruit Ninja is dripping with Ghostbusters-ness. All the little characters introduced in the huge update earlier this month are sporting those classic tan Ghostbusters jumpsuits, the game’s entire color pallet has a more neon, “ghostly" look, and there’s some spooky new music too. But my absolute favorite change is the fruit itself. It also uses that supernatural color pallet, and it even glows. It’s a really cool effect, and while I imagine this Ghostbusters crossover will only last through Halloween or so, I sincerely hope they include an option to switch back to the haunted look whenever you want just for kicks. I really dig it.
So if you’ve got a copy of Fruit Ninja and you’re in a Halloween and/or Ghostbusters mood, check out the new update and slice up some freaky ghost fruit.
NHL2K! YES YES! Oh man, I'm way way excited for this title. Is it 11pm (Eastern) yet?! :)
Some interesting games. Tilt to Live is always a must buy.
I'm really looking forward to NHL 2K. With controller support, no less!
Looks like I'm getting Puzzle, TTL:GR, NHL, and SAS4.
Still no sign of Hitman Sniper?
Yay, fun for me! Sleep Attack TD it is! Gotta stay busy until Kingdom Rush: Origins arrives.
I'm looking forward to that as well!!
Hello everybody!
{Hm, nobody seems to have said it yet?}
. . . Okay, here goes
--STRONG WEEK!
P.S. Check out Slide Maze by Stereophonic Games. Missed week?
Lots of games but only one insta buy and one maybe.....wahhhhhhh
NHL2K !!!! Yeah !! I was starting to get worried.
Battle Academy 2 is also coming for strategy fans
I guess I only get excited on weeks where there's Dragon Quest. Maybe Battle Academy 2...
Oh nevermind. I was thinking of Hero Academy.
Got some promocodes for Mack Attack coming tonight, hope you guys like it!

Thanks wClemm! I grabbed the #2 one ;)
Looking forward to Tilt To Live: Gauntlet's Revenge. Haven't had time to check out the other games on the list, but the way things are going, I'm gonna need to get another job and a bigger phone.
Really wish a new Fieldrunners was in the works
Agreed !
I'm excited for NHL 2K! It's probably the only time I'm going to see my Colorado Avs. win games this year...
Lol ! :)
Sas has always been a guilty pleasure, new one looks to keep me busy for awhile. :)
And puzzle to the center of the earth! Nice
Super Glyph Quest! Under the radar, winning nonetheless.
Finally SAS4 is out, I've been waiting ages
Same here
Whoa, wait, Ghostbusters Pinball??
although a match3, puzzle to the center of the earth seams to have a certain magic to it ...
Isn't Battle Academy 2 coming out this week too?
SAS Zombie Assault: 4 for me! :D
Dudes. Partia 2 is out now. Partia flipping 2!! For those who know- u know how great Partia 1 was. Even though I couldn't pass the second level. Hehe. And the price pt is kinda awful. Anyways. Partia 2. 🙀
Interesting releases but someone has to say it..... what a weak week.
Yet another week goes buy where there is nothing on the release list that screams must buy for me. Used to be I would spend $10-$40 a week on iOS games... This year seems to be slimming my collection down. Let's hope we'll have a Big Bang for the holiday season!
Ikr ;/
I know it kinda sucks, although the wild coming out hopefully this month and that looks pretty good
Tough call to make between getting Tilt To Live or Sleep Attack especially when I'm low on cred.
Still no seabeard 😒 of course.....I'm tired of waiting 😫
SUPER GLYPH QUEST! Glyph Quest was GotW, why is this one slipping under the radar? Out now!
Puzzle to the center of the earth and Zombie Assault 4, for me tonight.
