## What is NinjaShaw Lite?

This is 2D platformer game with ninja. Run, Jump and Shot, that's it!

*** How to play it ***
The left pad is like cross key for a game pad, but it only works Left or Right. The character named Shaw can move by your control.
A left of the right 2 buttons is Shot. If you push it then he will throw a ninja star. Also the right one is Jump, and you can control his height. A long push means higher, and the short push means lower.

The top left bar is his life, so you have to dodge enemies attack and bullets if possible.

*** Caution ***
This game is quite difficult to clear! Can you do it?!

I hope you enjoy it!

### 3/5 — Buttons were hard to operate

*2013-12-14*

And game was hard in the first level. You should have us learn the game's mechanics before throwing us to the wolves!

### 4/5 — Very good!

*2012-12-31*

The controls are excellent. This is a nice little Mega Man clone. I'll keep an eye out and I'll definitely buy the full version once you update to fill the iphone5 screen.
