Being a ninja has always been a child’s fantasy. In this new app Ninjump, players play as an advent ninja that runs up a seemingly endless wall. As players reach higher altitudes the obstacles get harder and harder.

The gameplay is extremely simple. As players tap the screen the ninja hops from one wall to the next. With one tap on the screen your ninja lunges from one wall to the other in a spinning attack animation that destroys the animal obstacles.

Timing is of the essence in this game where one mistake will send your ninja falling to his death. The obstacles include blue birds that dive at the ninja from a great height, an oversized squirrel that runs along a straight line attempting to knock the ninja off balance. There are also enemy ninjas that run along side the walls as well as throw ninja stars or later on sticks of dynamite.

The game also includes boosts that the ninja gets when he kills 3 of the same type of enemy. When they complete that task the ninja is suddenly elevated at an accelerated rate and also takes the form of the enemy they killed. For instance, if a player kills 3 blue birds in a row they sprout wings and fly upwards destroying anything they touch.

This game although mildly addicting game may become boring over time since all you are doing is trying to get a higher score than before.
