## What is Ninja Chowdown?

Meet Donatsu, the chubby and agile ninja from the Dough-jo: a donut shop by day and a ninja dojo by night.

► Destructoid - “Ninja Chowdown proves running doesn’t always lead to weight loss.”
► GamesXtreme - “You can't go wrong with an arcade running game...especially if we're talking about a game where you're a fat ninja who is chasing donuts. Creativity at its best.”

Join Donatsu’s thrilling adventures in this witty, action-packed, colorful runner in a world ruled by food clans and love for humour and puns. But be warned, this is not your average runner. Let yourself be surprised!

Beware of Pizza Pierates, the Traveling Rollnins, the Barbacarians and other food bosses - as delicious as they sound, dangerous they are!

Designed specifically for mobile devices, Ninja Chowdown can be picked up instantly - but won't be easy to master.

Will you be able to fight your way to the top of the food chain?
