Ninja Bounce is a highly addictive game that relies on your reflexes to move a little ninja character in couple of challenge modes: regular and timed. The game’s design is based on an intuitive interface and offers easy controls. Ninja Bounce gameplay is challenging but a lot of fun.

The player is required to tap on the jump button, thus ensuring the ninja will land in a timely manner on each platform. Other variations in gameplay require the player presses a platform-specific jump button. This can be increasingly difficult as the tempo of the game increases but, with enough practice, scales well across many levels.

The game art is vector-based and refreshing, reflecting a cartoonish and humorous take on ninjas. I would add the overall construction of the game is of high quality, which is a pleasant departure from many games in the app store that simply look bad. Nb3

The game contains a multiplayer mode via the iPhone Game Center and also offers the upload of high scores. Currently, the Ninja Bounce development team is running a contest for first-, second- and third-place winners for $100, $50 and $10, respectively. Users need to post a screenshot of their scores to the fan page to enter.

Ninja Bounce is a steal at 99 cents (holiday sale price), and I highly recommend it.

I have been addicted to gaming since I played Pong for the first time when I was six years old. In the meantime, I have played thousands of games (all possible genres) on various systems from Atari 7800 and ZX Spectrum to Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga 500, PCs (Intel 8086 to the latest Intel and AMD chipsets), all Nintendo systems, all Sony Playstation systems, all Sega systems and finally Microsoft's XBox. Aside from gaming, I love to read (sci-fi, military history, politics, mysteries, puzzles...) and love to play chess which I do on a daily basis...
