Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots Livens Up an iOS Classic with Licensed Cat Content

Australian developer Halfbrick Studios has teamed with THQ to produce a new version of the former’s iOS hit, Fruit Ninja, that ties into Dreamworks’ upcoming animated film Puss in Boots. What might seem like a cut-and-dry marketing move has actually produced what could be considered the definitive version of Halfbrick’s fruit slicing arcade title.

The basic mechanics of Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots remain unchanged from those behind the original game in the franchise. Players swipe their fingers across their device’s screen in order to slice various types of fruit as they’re tossed up in the air.
