Description
A multi-scrolling game where the player controls a ninja princess who has to reach the end of each level & fight the boss. The main enemies are ninjas, and the player's weapons are small knives. There is a power-up that can be picked up that upgrades the knives to stronger shuriken that pass through an enemy after destroying them. Other enemies include wolves that run towards the player in packs, horses, swordsmen, and samurais. There are many kinds of ninjas, each with their unique strengths. One of them is petrified & comes alive when the player gets close. Another one dives towards the player with a knife. There is one that pops up from underground, another that runs circles around the player, and another one that is transparent most of the time & for a little while is material (and vulnerable). There are also bonuses that appear as stone statues or in a scarecrow form when the player steps in a certain area of a level. The scarecrow usually shows up when the player is walking in water and the statue usually appears when the player is on land walking around a boulder or tree. Either of them gives the player a lot of points. It's also important to note that the player has a defensive move by making the princess invisible for a short time. This works well when facing a pack of wolves, the horses, or a gang of ninjas that circles the player. There are 2 levels where the player is climbing a wall and has to avoid enemy shuriken or actual contact with the enemy without being invisible. The main goal of the game is to free the castle at the end of the map of the main boss.
