This is actually a game I’ve wanted to try out since I read its review. It sounded really like my sort of game on paper. It’s minimalist to a fault with no fancy-pansy story or graphics and no need for instructions or complicated button combos. It’s one of those games where you hit Start and get down to business. IGN gave it a 9.0 in its one-page review too if that’s the sort of thing that’s sway your vote.
In it, you play as a ninja dude who runs and jumps his way across a 2D maze filled with coins (get), mines (don’t get) and simple enemies (don’t touch). Your objective is to activate a switch somewhere in the level to open a door so you can advance.
Sure enough, it is pretty fun. Each level is a 30 second affair – good because my attention span is usually only 1.5 times of that – and when you’re through with it, you can create your own levels and laugh hysterically as Ninja Dude falls to his doom for the n-th time. Pun intentional. What I really hate is that the Suicide button is just slightly away from the Jump button – X and A respectively so there’s a good chance you’d hit the wrong button mid-level.
Nonetheless, I quit about 6 minutes into playing the game. As my luck with games go, in Minute 5, I managed to produce a bug that cause controls to be disabled. Restarting bored me.
