Robert Falcon writes: " In most video games, ninjas are violent and carve creatures in half with their swords while performing acrobatic stunts. In Ninjatown, however, the story's a little bit different. These ninjas are shrunken down, huggable beings that love to have fun and kick back without the need to take someone out. Leave it to some moron to come along and throw a monkey wrench in the works.
Things are well in the calm, peaceful Ninjatown until Mr. Demon, a dweller from a nearby volcano, shows up. He brings with him a group of sinister foes that want to do nothing but cause all kinds of havoc and chaos. The Ninjas, somewhat overwhelmed by the arrival of such a dark force, must use everything they have in their arsenal to stop him from overtaking their beloved town. However, instead of using typical ninja tools, such as shurikens and swords, they must rely on more savvy ninja techniques, such as Stealth Hugs and the Mighty Wind of Ninja Dropping. We're not sure how that goes, but it probably involves mid-air flight of some sort."

Cue "but you didn't include my favorite!" comment: PixelJunk Monsters is the best TD game ever. Fact. :)
Wish Ninja Town would get ported to PC or something.
Edit: Cat, when reading this, I was thinking you'd say just that :P
It's good to see they remembered Defense Grid: The Awakening. It's the best tower defense game, when I start playing it, I just can't stop. I played many others, including Plants Vs Zombies and Ninjatown, but none gets close to Defense Grid.
StartGame: A volcano erupts near Ninjatown, which brings along Mr Demon and his hordes of devils, who are bent on the destruction of the town.
