If you enjoy retro platformers, reminiscent of the Gameboy days, you are going to be interested in the upcoming iOS platformer, 1-Bit Ninja. TouchArcade reports that the game is scheduled to be released on Thursday, June 23.
This upcoming iPhone platformer looks interesting not just for nostalgia reasons, however. The game has an option to change the view to a quasi-3D perspective. TouchArcade also reports that all the player has to do is swipe or tap a portion of the screen to switch between retro 2D and 3D-like isometric views.
The game appears to be very fast-paced with simplified controls designed with the touchscreen in mind. Here is the debut trailer:
We look forward to trying the game and seeing how it compares with iDevice hit platformers like League of Evil and Mos Speedrun.
