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!
