It’s week two of our continuing coverage of the Google Play top charts, and you know what that means — last week’s positions are go! Did your favourite game move up the charts? Slip down? Why are you so concerned? Where did these sharks come from?
While there hasn’t been a great deal of movement in the Android charts over the past week, there are a few pleasant surprises. Most notably is the appearance of The Bard’s Tale on the paid charts, once again proving that older PC gamers love themselves some Android.
And hey, there’s a Jaws game on the free charts. What’s that all about?

9. Fruit Ninja
Last Week’s Position: 10
Cut the Fruit continues to cling to the charts, bolstered by a growing worldwide suspicion that apples are out to get us (they are).
