The game was based on characters created by Shawn Smith, who used to be editor of the (now) defunct Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine. His toy line, 'Shawnimal', and one particular character was the inspiration for Ninjatown. The game blends a great art style with classic tower defence gameplay, though the cute (awesome) exterior probably let the game to fly under your radar, and that's where our interview comes in. For the best answers, we went to the producer of the game, Katy Smith."

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.
