Key Features:

• Dynamic, acrobatic gameplay and ultra tight controls worthy of an epic ninja adventure.
• Character upgrades, new abilities, hidden levels, and branching paths to discover.
• Meticulously designed 8-bit and 16-bit sprites, animations, and backgrounds in the spirit of the classics.
• A memorable cast of offbeat villains, bosses, and associates.
