  • Summary: "sublime", "it's already becoming one of my favorite games on the iPhone" - Kotaku, Game App of the Day1-bit Ninja is pure run + jump fun unlike anything else on the App Store. The stylized 2D side-scrolling world can be dragged into 3D at any point to reveal hidden paths. Built from the ground up for touch screen control that rivals 'real buttons', 1-bit Ninja sacrifices a back button in the name of precise control you don't ever have to think about.

There's a spring or platform for that!* stylized 1-bit engine mixes 2D & 3D* simple 2 touch control for jump-precision* classic head-bouncing, run + jump gameplay* hiscores & best times* save & watch replays of your best runs* 4 worlds, 20 levels & over 100 challenges* secrets & easter eggs* unlockable camera modes inc. red/cyan 3D*** original chip-tune sound trackNew levels and features are already planned for the first update, follow kode80 on Twitter to get the latest news: http://twitter.com/kode80Want more 3D iOS magic?

    Combine all that with infectious classic gameplay and I'm sure you'll agree that 1-Bit Ninja is, well, brilliant.

    Fist-munchingly difficult. [Apr 2013, p.89]

    1-Bit Ninja's difficulty will likely cause plenty of blue streaks, but they're worth the catharsis of a job well done.

    1-bit Ninja is a truly nice platform, graphically gorgeous and hard as few others are. The going-forward constriction is certainly the most controversial aspect of the game, but core gamers will probably love it. Unfortunately it lacks of online leaderboards or achievements support, so players will never have a great reward in doing better and better.
