Halfbrick celebrates Fruit Ninja's five year anniversary by updating most of its games

Fruit Ninja is five years old now. Where did the time go? Anyway, Halfbrick is celebrating this fact with a special round of updates for, not just Fruit Ninja, but lots of its games.

Let's start with Fruit Ninja. It's got a new anniversary tournament in which you have to take down six iconic enemies.

Doing so gives you the chance of winning Fruit Ninja's most powerful blade yet, the Golden Ember Blade.

There are also six new mini-games that'll have you juggling fruit, manipulating bombs, and mastering new tricks.

You can download Fruit Ninja on the App Store for 79p / 99c, or you can grab it for free. Same goes for Google Play - pay for it, or get it free.

Oh, and Fruit Ninja Academy: Math Master (App Store) is also celebrating. It has new stickers starring Katsuro, Mari, Han and Nobu in their finest party outfits.

But that's not all...

Moving on, Jetpack Joyride (App Store / Google Play) has a new in-game event called "Cut & Run."

Monster Dash (App Store / Google Play) has a new "Fruit Ninja blade" for you to try out in five new challenges.

Band Stars (App Store / Google Play) now has the Fruit Ninja dojo for you to jam out some tunes to.

Top Farm (App Store) got a new Sensei Statue that gives free gems every 12 hours. Plus, you'll see Gutsu and other Fruit Ninjas offering special jobs in the Taxi and Market Truck.

Radical Rapelling (App Store / Google Play) got new Fruit Ninja costumes for Rip and Roxy.

Bears vs. Art (App Store / Google Play) has a new special event involving fruity paintings. And if you destroy 200 of those paintings before the event is up you'll unlock Katsuro’s costume.

Finally, Yes Chef! (App Store) got the magical world of Fruitasia for you to explore. Plus, there are 25 new levels in which you can earn currency, power-ups, and ninja swag.
