Go Ninja is like Canabalt if you were a ninja slaughtering demons rather than running from the apocalypse. Oh, it's also a lot bloodier.
Bitmob writer Jasmine Rea is a bit antisocial during long commutes. She plays these unsettling iOS games to prevent people from speaking to her.
The free-to-play model is becoming increasingly more prevalent in gaming, as is cheap gaming on mobile devices. Go Ninja, developed by Hiptic Games, combines the two ideas into slightly fun, consistently annoying, and deceptive package on the iPhone app store.
John Bedford (Modojo): If there's a genre on the App Store that relies less on storytelling than any other, it has to be the endless-runner. Nevertheless, GoNinja's particular shtick is that a terrible army has overtaken the game's never-ending town. You must travel through it, ripping through every enemy with your blade, while also avoiding the flashing red traps and enemies that randomly appear. Run smack into one of those and you'll receive a tally of the points you've earned from the run before being sent right back to the very beginning.
