Fruit Ninja nailed one of the purest ideas in mobile gaming: things fly up, you swipe through them, and it feels great every single time. Sixteen years later, that slicing itch is still real. So we built Prism Slash, a stripped-down swipe-slicing arcade game that runs right here on this page. It is free, loads instantly, and needs no install and no signup. Crystals and orbs arc up from the bottom, you carve through them, and the red spiked spheres end your run if your blade touches them.
Play Prism Slash now
Drag anywhere on the board to slice. One tap starts a run, and it plays best with sound on.
How to play
Press and drag with your finger or mouse to draw a blade stroke. Anything the stroke crosses gets sliced in two, and cutting three or more shapes in one continuous stroke pays a combo bonus, so long sweeping cuts beat frantic scribbles. The red spiked spheres are marked with an X: slice one and the run ends on the spot.
Two modes are built in. The 60-second mode is a pure score sprint where dropped shapes cost nothing. Classic mode has no timer but allows only three missed shapes before the run is over. Every day gets its own spawn pattern seeded from the date, so everyone plays the same sequence and you can compare scores fairly. Your best score and day streak are saved on your device, and nothing leaves your browser.
How it compares to Fruit Ninja
We kept the part that matters: the swipe, the split, the combo chase, and the instant restart. A round of Prism Slash lasts about a minute, the difficulty ramps the longer you survive, and the miss between your score and your best is exactly the hook that keeps you pressing play again.
We deliberately dropped everything else. Fruit Ninja has dozens of unlockable blades and dojos that change how slicing behaves, event modes, minigames, and in Fruit Ninja 2 a full multiplayer suite with real-time versus matches. Prism Slash has none of that. There are no unlocks, no currencies, no ads, and no account. It also swaps the fruit for abstract crystals and geometric shapes, because this is our own game, not a copy.
So when should you get the real thing? If you want progression, blade collections, and someone to compete against, Fruit Ninja is the deeper game and it earns the install. If you want thirty seconds of clean slicing while something compiles or the kettle boils, the version above is already open.

Frequently asked questions
Can I play Fruit Ninja in a browser?
Halfbrick does not offer an official browser version of Fruit Ninja; it ships as a mobile app. Prism Slash, the game embedded above, is our own browser-based take on the same swipe-slicing loop. It runs on any modern phone or desktop browser with nothing to install.
Is this the real Fruit Ninja?
No. Prism Slash is an original game we built, inspired by the slicing mechanic that made Fruit Ninja famous. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Halfbrick Studios in any way. If you want the real Fruit Ninja, the download links above go to the official store listings.
Is it free?
Yes, completely. There are no ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, and no data collection. Your best score and daily streak are stored locally on your device and never leave your browser.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, the game makes zero network requests, so it keeps running if your connection drops mid-session. To start it fresh while offline you would still need the page cached by your browser.
Why does everyone get the same pattern each day?
The spawn sequence is seeded from the current date. That means your run and your friend’s run on the same day face the same order of shapes and hazards, which makes score comparisons fair. Come back tomorrow for a new pattern and to keep your day streak alive.
