Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

94/100

Clumsy Ninja is more than just a game; it's a technical marvel of animation and AI. The way the ninja reacts to your touch—stumbling when you pull his hand, or giggling when you tickle him—is incredibly lifelike. It’s like having a digital pet that you also happen to be training to be a deadly assassin (well, a very clumsy one).

The progression system is great. You start with basic training like jumping on a trampoline and work your way up to more complex ninja skills. The world is beautiful and full of interactive objects. What really sells it, though, is the personality. You genuinely start to feel for the little guy as he struggles with his training. It’s charming, hilarious, and one of the most polished 'virtual friend' games on the market.

This is great. I love this game so much
Sun Aug 18 2024 This game is a masterpiece..

I love this game because i’ve played it ever since i was 2, it has always been fun, clumsy ninja was loyal to me, so were the chickens and squirrels. Good graphics, Whenever i’m mad i play this game so i act like the person that got me mad is clumsy ninja and i beat it up. Most of all, This game is very entertaining. I usually watch videos when i eat, But this hits different. I play this while eating and chill on the phone with my friend (shoutout to you liam). I had to get a new ipad when i was 5 so i was heartbroken that i lost all of my progress. Ever since that i forgot about it. But suddenly i remembered it again a week ago. I had very good nostalgia and i restored my purchases because i had the same gmail and same purchases so when i downloaded it, i clicked on restore purchases and i got all of this back. I’ve showed this game to my friend too, He LOVES it. he plays it everyday with me. We share our screens and do funny stuff to the ninja. Most of all, We take pictures, And we save them and send them to eachother. This game is so addicting that i couldn’t stop playing it. I do duolingo streaks but clumsy ninjas streaks give me rewards that help me a lot. Duolingo dosent give me rewards like clumsy ninja. He’s my buddy. Today i tripped and fell and my whole skin ripped off and i was bleeding and i couldn’t stop complaining about it, But i began to play clumsy ninja and got relaxed and my mom put alcohol on it and i didn’t even feel it because i was playing clumsy ninja. This game is the best game ever.

Bugs problems, New updates/features
Sun Jun 03 2018 golden_kitten16

Hi I love playing with clumsy ninja. But there problems with the game. All of the sudden my ninja costumes are gone and the only costume that my ninja got is the winter suit. I can’t even change to a different costumes for my ninja or even change to a different characters like Kira or Lily. Plus all the music for the ninja to dance, toys for the ninja to play, fun stuffs like the robot, leafy trampoline, winter fun stuff for the ninja to play and etc are all gone. I been playing clumsy ninja for almost 5 years now and nothing like this happened to me. I hope they fix the bug problems or something like that because I love playing with clumsy ninja and I’m sad that all the stuff I purchased for the game just disappear out of nowhere. Also can you please update the newest Clumsy Ninja game and add new features because this game getting boring and I don’t play with my ninja as often anymore. The last time is was updated was 5 months ago. I would’ve give a 5 stars but since there’s a lot of problems for this app and there’s no new updates to make this game more fun to play sorry but have to give a 1 star! Can we get “watch and earn” back and please update where we were play last I don’t want to start all over again to level 1 when I work so hard to get to level 99 and brought my ninja all his outfits. Can you please bring back where we started off so we don’t have to start over! (For example I’m on level 99 and I have to transfer my iPad to another tablet and when I open clumsy ninja its bring me back to level 1 and I want to begin when I started from which is level 99)

Best Game! Some Advice Too!
Fri May 17 2019 SisterZaiaah

Hey developers and people who have or are thinking to download this game! I have been playing Clumsy Ninja a lot. I used to play it on my iPad but now I have it on my iPhone 7 Plus. This game is amazing! The graphics and animations are beautiful. The chicken and squirrel are so cute! Not only can you get animals that roam around, you can get different toys and training items! You can dress your ninja to give him style and even go to different places. This game is overall brilliant! I have only a few small suggestions. The first one is there is a small bug where the ninja will jump onto the bamboo trampoline and get glitched inside. Shortly after this happens, the ninja and trampoline fly into the air. This is only a minor bug and doesn’t interfere with the game much but just letting you know. The next thing is the XP gain. The XP gain is little too slow. Keep in mind I said a little. I don’t want you to change it to where I do one thing and level up. I’m only asking to increase it a little bit to where you still have to train with your ninja but you don’t have to constantly train over and over to get to the next level to finish a mission. This game is remarkable and amazing! I hope you read this and thank you!

LOST ALL OF MY PROGRESS! PLEASE RESPOND
Tue Feb 25 2025 Ratatatata69

This was my favorite game. I played it almost every day and now this morning I wake up and turn on my phone and boom! Everything gone. I REALLY WANT MY PROGRESS BACK. I worked so hard to get to the level I was at. Like I said, PLEASE RESPOND! HELP MEEEEE! I love this game and I will love it even more if I get my progress back, Please help - ClumsyNinjaPlayer Edit: Still haven’t gotten a response. I’VE WAITED MONTHS! I have just given up on this game. It’s so dumb how ABSOLUTELY nobody has gotten a response. I’m really disappointed. I had this when I was little, and the whole “resetting your progress” hadn’t happened. I am truly dissatisfied with the developers. If you respond to your reviewers then that would give you developers more good reviews. Please respond! It has been almost a year since I have posted this review. By now I think Apple should take this app down! ITS SO AGGRAVATING TO LOSE EVERYTHING THAT YOU PUT EFFORT INTO!!!!!! I’m so disappointed in you “developers.” Nobody, not one person has ever been responded to because you guys just REALLY DON’T CARE ABOUT US. Do not download this app if you don’t want to lose your progress. Still waiting, -ClumsyNinjaPlayer

Good game, but a few features are not so good.
Tue Mar 16 2021 xhxjxhdndhdhdndnnddn

I just want to start this off by saying, this is a very good game, and if it costs money (I can’t remember I’ve had it so long) then it’s definitely worth it! The graphics are beautiful, good quality, fun for large amounts of time, and the animation on it is great! There’s always a new thing too do, or earn, or even buy! Though I do have a couple complaints. Whenever I’m doing the little quests, I always seem to be a level too low to purchase something? This is usually pretty annoying as I don’t have very many gems and the only way I’ve found so far too earn them is by leveling up, so then what would the point of spending them be? I just think this may have been the apps way of earning more money by forcing you too buy gems if you want too progress quicker? Leading on the gems, it is really hard to get large amounts of gems without buying them, because for about 6 or 7 levels I got no gems. And it may seem like there’s a large amount of starting gems, but they run out quickly when you are required to buy things to progress and not spend 30 minutes waiting on something too be fixed. I know this is an old game, but please take into consideration fixing these problems. Thank you for your time.

Best child game ever
Fri Jul 07 2023 KittyTheVertigo

I’ve played clumsy ninja when was I was 6. So a few weeks ago I decided to revisit this game, and it’s still fun for me. The training, the potions and the customization of the characters are amazing! I also really like the character designs and the story. Now there are 2 reason why I downloaded this again, 1, I wanted to see if it was still great. 2, I never finished the game so I want to finish it to see what happens. I have not experienced bugs yet so that’s why I give it five stars. Another thing that I would like to add is the training, Yes, the XP points are very hard to gain but I still like it that way because then the player would have to play more just to gain XP but I would like it to be increased a little so it is a little easier. Overall, I would recommend this game to everyone, especially the depressed people, the people that have nothing to do, the people who want to relive their childhood, and everyone else who is not sated. Thank you for reading the review! 🤍🤍

Purchase and Leveling Difficulty
Sat Feb 04 2023 Veggie404

I have always loved this game and recently stumbled upon it again for the first time in many years. It’s a charming and enjoyable way to pass the time and I enjoy many aspects from the usual leveling to the extra content you can purchase. However I’ve recently run into some difficult that caused me to lose my progress. After I hit level 20, I was making an attempt at buying some gems so I would be able to repair items needed to train and progress further in the game. However, whenever I would reopen the app it would make another purchase and could not get it to stop even after cancelling, as it would boot me from the app altogether. In order to remedy this problem, I uninstalled, thinking it would save my progress while connected to my apple account. It was to my dismay that I found it lost all of my levels, and it doesn’t seem I will be refunded the money I ended up losing from the bug. I’m very disappointed, as aside from this poor experience, I have always had a good time and no complaints when it came to the Clumsy Ninja game. I must admit I am hesitant to play anymore in the event more of my funds go down the drain without me being able to do anything about it.

Is great but something’s i don’t like
Tue Aug 22 2023 Good but not perfection

The game is great the graphics are great and the physics are amazing but I have one or two things about it one whenever you do a quest that you suggest and when I go the thing I have to complete and let’s say I’m lv 30 and the thing I try to complete is like lv 31 and once I’m done with the level I have to get a belt which is one level two whenever I get a power outage or when is gone most mobile apps don’t have and issue the issue is that every single time when I have power outage or when is over it kicks me out which makes me have to uninstall it which makes me have to go back to the beginning People say that they lose their gems when there about lv 7 or 8 but how would you lose all gems did the quest you got had an object higher than you or just skip the level you skip one quest that has a higher level well guess what your gonna have do/finish two levels anyway if I have to rate this I would say 8.5 if you want physics game and others then is recommended but if you don’t want the same thing as me than is not recommended
