Great game, great developer Great game, great developerIt's been years since 1-Bit Ninja came out, and the developer is still releasing updates for it to make sure it runs well on new devices. I think that's awesome. The game itself is a great arcade game; it distills the platformer genre into its basic parts, resulting in a "pick-up-and-play" experience that is easily enjoyable in bite-sized sessions. You can do only two things, run and jump, and the controls reflect that simplicity: touching the left side of the screen makes you run, and you him the right makes you jump. This removes the possibility of being distracted or frustrated by control issues other iOS platformers tend to have. Admittedly it also makes the game more challenging since you can only move forward, but that's part of what makes it fun. The goal is to make your way through each level, trying to find the best routes through them in order to get the most coins and to collect all of the "S" coins in each level. Pulling it off can be tricky, but never frustrating, and requires some clever timing and memorization of the level's layout. This is further enhanced by the existence of secret passages in the level, which can be revealed by moving your finger across the top edge of the screen, changing the camera angle and revealing a 3D view of the level--which I think is just plain cool. The game also records your best times for completing a level, adding a bit more to its replay value. 1-Bit Ninja has a great sense of style, too, especially for those of us who are nostalgic about the earlier days of video games. It draws its visual design largely from games for the original Game Boy, especially the first Super Mario Land game, and the effect works well, especially when juxtaposed by the "3D peek" feature mentioned earlier. The music fits the game well, being energetic and catchy (I find myself trying to jump in time with it), and it suits the ninja theme of the game well, since it reminds somewhat of traditional Japanese music. Overall, 1-Bit Ninja is a fun, memorable, and challenging game that I keep coming back to, and it's been on my devices ever since I bought it 3 years ago.

Brings back the right memories! Brings back the right memories!Having played this now to near completion on and off for a while I've certainly gotten my money's worth! But, you'd most likely be from. Certain generation if playing this.. For me, my first game as Super Mario Land on the original Nintendo GameBoy, so this game has a special place for me. But, it's not a direct rip off, it uses 3D perspective to hide its secrets! That really appealed to me no end. After reading reviews from others of. Younger generation who can't appreciate not being able to "go back" I feel sorry that they just can't adjust, everything is very samey and über flexible these days, which can mean less of a challenge when you have to be perfect. There is infinite lives on this game so it's not that hard, not like SML! But there is what is called OSP (Old School Play) mode that will enable that, if you're that good. For me I find the best way to play is to simply not care and take leaps of faith, it's almost as if the levels were designed to be played like that, rather than especially cautious, you've go infinite lives, don't worry Bout dying!! I'm still unable to get a could of the secrets, but that will change I hope. Shame there isn't much of a community online :( I wish that the video export for iPad was fixed! Oh yes, it must be played on an iPad, how could one play on a tiny iPhone screen... Oh yes, I remember now , I used to use a GameBoy! Anyway, challenging fun for a great price.

One major flaw... One major flaw...Okay, let me start by saying; this is an amazing game! It has gorgeous visuals, catchy 8-bit music, great level design, and spot-on controls! The game is reminiscent of old Game Boy Platformers (Super Mario Land in particular) Though not being able to turn is annoying, the levels are built around that concept and it does provide challenge! All in all a great game! Unfortunately, though, the game isn't optimized for the iPhone 5, and (I think) this leads to a rather annoying, but fairly easily fixed, glitch. When you complete or exit a level, the screen zooms in making it nearly impossible to select another level, and completely impossible to return to the main menu as a result. This glitch goes away when the app resets, (which takes some time) but this proves very annoying if you want to continue the game after beating a level! Please fix this glitch! This game would more than earn a 5 Star review if it wasn't for this!

Amazing, but has a single flaw Amazing, but has a single flawSo this app is one of my current favorites. I love it with all of my heart and recommend it to my friends. It provides a challenge with a lot of frustration, but overall it has very simple controls and a great feel. I only have 1 complaint. The game needs an update. It's 2014! The game hasn't had an update since 2012, and there are a couple things that need fixing. For example, there is a minor bug where when you beat a level, the level screen gets shifted so that you can't see your progress, only the levels from that world. It is easily fixed by resetting the app, but it proves to be quite annoying. However, other glitches are quite fun to exploit, such as going backwards too far in a level. Speaking of levels, the game needs more. I've had the game for over a week and I still haven't made it to level 20. The game does not have any in-app purchases, so it requires no extra cash. the game has Pros and Cons like any other, but it seriously needs a tune-up. The game is fantastic. 1-bit ninja has a great chiptune soundtrack. It has unique gameplay and simple controls. It proves to be frustrating, but what's a game without a challenge? It needs a single update, and a few more levels. I recommend this to all that are reading this review if you like a retro feel to a game.
