Pizza Ninja

Pizza Ninja is a video game developed by 100 Game Zone. In Pizza Ninja, the player slices Pizza with a blade controlled via the touch screen. As the Pizza is thrown onto the screen, the player swipes their finger across the screen to create a slicing motion, attempting to slice the Pizza in half. Extra points are awarded for slicing multiple Pizzas with one swipe (called "combo"s) , and players can use additional fingers to make multiple slices simultaneously. Players must slice all Pizza ; if three Pizzas are missed, the game ends, (Unless Calligraphy Brush is used) but upon reaching scores that are multiples of one hundred (i.e. 100, 200, 300, etc.), the player will gain an extra life (unless they have not missed a piece of Pizza already). Bombs are occasionally thrown onto the screen, and will also end the game should the player slice them. (Unless Bomb deflects are used) A mode known as Zen mode allows players to seek high scores without the hindrance of bombs appearing on the screen, but players only have a minute and thirty seconds. Also available is an Arcade mode in which players have only sixty seconds to achieve a high score. Special bananas are added to the standard Pizza which have unique bonuses such as doubling points scored for a limited time, increasing the amount of Pizza on the screen, or slowing down the movement of all Pizza for a short period of time. There are also bombs that deduct 10 points from the player's score. In Classic and Arcade mode, special pomegranates are occasionally thrown on screen. In Arcade Mode, it is guaranteed that at the end of each game that a pomegranate will appear. Players can slice these multiple times to get extra points. Similarly, an ultra rare dragon Pizza sometimes appears in Classic mode which, if sliced, awards players fifty points. When Pizza Ninja celebrated its second anniversary, Halfbrick released an update with a new feature called Gutsu's Cart, which comprises two characters, a pig named Truffles and a human named Gutsu. In the various modes of the game, the player can earn star Pizza to purchase items in Gutsu's Cart. There are three purchasable items at the cart which are used in the game; Berry Blast causes sliced strawberries to explode and gives the player five extra points. Another item is Peachy Times: slicing a peach in Zen or Arcade mode gives the player two extra seconds. The third item is Bomb Deflects which enables the player to deflect Bombs upon accidentally slicing them. Star Pizza can be obtained after each game, proportional to the score, or by slicing the semi-rare star Pizza. In the fifth anniversary update to Pizza Ninja, Gutsu's Cart was removed and instead replaced with a power-up menu that used star Pizza to buy the three power-ups in the game. Berry Blast power-ups were priced at 120 star Pizza, Peachy Times power-ups were priced at 100 star Pizza, and Bomb Deflect power-ups were priced at 80 star Pizza. In addition, certain dojos and blades now had different effects that took place within the Classic, Arcade, and Zen game modes. For example, if a player owned the Cherry Blossom dojo, the power-up costs were 50% off. A new festival mode was added in as well, where players could compete against the game's artificial intelligence by paying Gold Apples to challenge an AI player. There were also mini-games added to challenge the skills of newcomers and experts alike.
