Wee Ninjas Coming To The iPhone In The Form Of Ninjatown: Trees Of Doom!
April 19, 2010
“We have a fantastic relationship with Shawnimals, it’s been a lot of fun working with them to create a fresh Ninjatown experience,” said Brandon Curiel, CEO at Venan. “Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! was developed to bring the plush toys' world to life in a new way, while creating an original style of play that takes advantage of the genius of Apple's platform.”
Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! won't be another tower defense game like the DS version, so those of you looking for the same experience may want to hold off until the developers have time to port that version to the iPad, which they apparently intend to do.
The game will put you in control of a Wee Ninja who must impress his mentor by running ninja-style up a pair of trees while jumping between the two to avoid obstacles. Ninjatown: Trees of Doom!, like any good endless game, becomes progressively more difficult as you jump and catapult your way to new heights, with all kinds of new hazards and enemies to avoid. But it's not all doom and gloom, power-ups will be scattered throughout levels as well.
ngmoco's Plus+ will be included in the game to provide players with the ability to earn awards and share scores on the global leaderboards.
“Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! is certainly a 'snack sized' gaming experience, but man, oh man it is one tasty snack,” stated Shawn Smith, creator of Shawnimals. “We've put a lot of polish and thought into this simple yet addictive game. It can be played by anyone, and never gets old.”Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! will be available in the App Store in a couple of weeks and will be priced at $1.99. If Venan Entertainment is able to work their magic for Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! as they did with Space Miner, this one should be an instant buy.
