Venan Entertainment, who brought us the exceptional action RPG Space Miner: Space Ore Bust [App Store], has just announced that they have reconnected with toy studio Shawnimals to create Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! for the iPhone. The two studios previously collaborated to create the BAFTA-nominated 2008 title Ninjatown for the Nintendo DS.
In Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! , the player is a Wee Ninja who must impress his wise mentor Ol’ Master Ninja by running straight up a pair of towering trees, jumping between the two to avoid treacherous hazards. The trees become more deadly as the Wee Ninja ascends – watch out for slippery patches, untouchable Dark Syrup, Deadly Swarms, and demonic enemies like Flying Devils, Syrup Devils, and spear-wielding Tribal Devils. Oh, there is also a live volcano spewing lava balls nearby! On the bright side, you can launch upwards by using flexible branches like catapults and there are power ups galore, including the ability to hitch a ride up the tree on the flying mucho macho Moustachio.
Venan CEO Brandon Curiel indicates that his studio has a strong relationship with Shawnimals and that they’ve had a great time working together on the upcoming title. The goal of their combined efforts is to bring the world of plush toys to life in a whole new way, leveraging the unique features of the iPhone platform in so doing.
Insta buy as soon as its out. It better be super awesome coz I dont expect anything less than that from Venan after playing space miner :D
Even if it's not on the same league as Space Miner I'll still be supporting Venan on this one. But I hope it will be as super awesome as SM :D
Looks fun, and I love Space Miner.
This quote was baffling to me:
"The goal of their combined efforts is to bring the world of plush toys to life in a whole new way... "
I guess there is a plush toy line called Ninjatown, however. The game doesn't look very plushy, but I'm sure this will be a good cross promotion. :)
Ninjatown is excellent on DS. Will this be a new game i.e. worth buying again?
PS. Pls bring out SM2 :)
I LOVED Ninjatown on DS.
But this game... is not Ninjatown!!!
PLEASE, do an enhanced/updated port of the original Ninjatown too. It's still my favorite TD game. So much fun. Would be great to have it on the i-devices.
Ninjatown for the DS is one of my favorite games...so I'm pumped for this! Except it's not Ninjatown TD at all. Hmmm. It'll still be an instant purchase, but I'd love to see the TD game.
