Devilishly hard and diabolically addictive game of jumping, fighting, and surviving! * NEW! 16 levels and a boss fight! * NEW! 4 characters to fight evil with! * NEW! 8 weapons to unlock and use!! Get a taste of the ninja life by dodging moving traps, getting past difficult obstacles and fighting forces of evil in Shurican! Features * tons of obstacle dodging, jumping and demon fighting * endless survival mode, where you get more points for kills! * a big and well crafted challenge level for those, who are tired of endless jumping * both melee and ranged combat * plenty of ninja-related achievements * leaderboards to prove your friends that you've got most skill * small, cute but very deadly ninja character! * plenty of deaths and rage, but super fast restart - jump back to the game instantly! * blood and screams of your enemies! Control your little hero with mighty finger taps to jump over moving sawblades and spikes, swing a deadly-sharp katana in the faces of irritating imps, and time your strikes right to block demon axe-hammers and knock them back to the fires of the Hell from which they came! Don’t forget to toss your shuriken- these handy metal stars are perfect for being rid of fireballs and ranged enemies. Beware of sneaky jumping headcrabs and dodge them before they stick to the grab hold of your valiant ninja and drag him down to the inferno.. Master all the deadly ninja skills, snipe enemies from a distance, push them to the spikes- be ready to do whatever it takes to survive the longest in the Shurican when you play the endless mode- if you can kill off the most enemies, you’ll power to the top of the leaderboards and prove to your friends that you can survive Hell if you’ve got your katana at the ready. Had enough of the endless mode? Check out the good old fashioned campaign through Dangers of hand-crafted hell dungeon in the challenge mode, where a reward awaits at the toughest and the swiftest ninjas the end of their journey. Be ready to die a lot, get angry, rage at your mobile device and, memorize trap positions, make rewarding dodges, don’t take the easy routes (that’s not your ninja way). Toughen up and beat the game!
