Ultimate Ninja Swing

A lover of ninjas and all that, I adore anything that contains a level of stealth or swing-based mechanics and my experience with Ultimate Ninja Swing was a blend of feeling like a breeze ninja with quick agile moves and feeling like the ninja in the wrong kind of world sometimes. The idea is a no brainer: you're a ninja with an extendable rope, swinging through levels that require precision and timing.

It’s somewhat like a physics playpen that challenges your reflexes, with each cleared level a personal victory (particularly when you can flail your limbs past obstacles with minimal losses…) and the star rating system encourages a competitive edge, aiming to clear each level with speed for those coveted high scores. I felt that precision could sometimes be undone by tricky controls, and I read comments from other players agreeing with me.

And even amid the hiccups, there’s satisfaction in mastering the swings and conquering the levels. It's addicting trying to get away unscathed, and it's a good choice for pick up and play for casual gamers with time to kill.
