Based on characters from the popular Shawnimals designer toys and plush, Ninjatown: Tree of Doom! lets the player take control of a Wee Ninja who must impress his wise mentor Ol’ Master Ninja by running straight up a pair of towering trees, jumping between the two to avoid treacherous hazards. The trees become more deadly as the Wee Ninja ascends – watch out for slippery patches, untouchable Dark Syrup, Deadly Swarms, and demonic enemies like Flying Devils, Syrup Devils, and spear-wielding Tribal Devils, as well as a live volcano spewing lava balls. On the bright side, you can launch upwards by using flexible branches like catapults and there are power ups galore, including the ability to hitch a ride up the tree on the flying mucho macho Moustachio!

Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! is being developed by Venan Entertainment in conjunction with Shawnimals and will be published under their Venan Arcade label. These top notch creative squads previously collaborated on the critically acclaimed, BAFTA-nominated game Ninjatown for the Nintendo DS in 2008. Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! is the first title from Venan since it released the instant classic Space Miner: Space Ore Bust earlier this year, and it includes many of the beloved characters from the original Ninjatown game.

Ninjatown: Tree of Doom! will hit the App Store in a couple weeks and will cost $1.99.
