iTunes doesn't remind me to update. I have only 1.2 version.

Give it about 5 minutes, it's not appearing here yet either

ImNoSuperMan · Aug 31, 2010

Redownload the app manually. You'll get 1.3 only.

saiyukialex · Aug 31, 2010

I have also tried this way for many times, 13.5MB - 1.2 version again and again

RustyF · Aug 31, 2010

Yep. Me too. It told me to update, which I did, but I'm still at 1.2. Sad. Those graphics look so pretty.

Impressions/reviews

TA Review : http://toucharcade.com/2010/05/06/ninjatown-trees-of-doom-review-climbing-trees-and-fighting-demons-just-another-day-for-wee-ninja/

Trees of Doom's appeal comes largely thanks to its crisp, richly colored artwork. Sure, the gameplay itself is an interesting spin on the usual tilt or tap mechanic, requiring quite a bit of dexterity and skill to land precision jumps, but at the end of the day we know what these games are about. They're about high scores and quick games that keep you coming back for more. Trees of Doom definitely delivers on this, and looks great to boot. If you liked Doodle Jump and other see-how-high-you-can-go games, and you like Ninjas (who doesn't) then this is definitely a worthwhile pickup.

Well, it's a fun endless climb game, with quite a bit of variety. The controls can be a little finicky; gauging how high you will jump can be difficult because it's based on how long you tap rather than where you tap. Also I've had issues when flinging off of branches; sometimes the game doesn't register my touch, I think the touch detection area is far too small for those. Those small issues aside it's a lot of fun, and there's nothing that can't be fixed in a small update.

I got Space Miner during the first sale, so I saved two bucks. Exactly the price of this game. Space Miner has given me far more value than the 3 bucks I paid for it, and more even than the 5 that I would have happily paid in retrospect. I have no qualms whatsoever tossing this quality dev a bone, even though I normally don't ike paying more than 99 cents for this sort of game.

After Space Miner, I would have bought Venan's followup even if it had been shown to cause cancer. Fortunately, Ninjatown is not only carcinogenic-free, but also cute, fun, and thoroughly polished. It may resemble a Doodle Jump clone, but don't let that fool you: the game plays much more like a true platformer, albeit vertical, than a tilt-based reaction game. And that's the thing; Ninjatown can move fast if you want it to, but it also allows the kind of deliberateness that's at the core of all the best platformers. Part of me wishes that they'd gone farther in that direction and included multiple lives, level breaks, and a final objective. Still, I know that this kind of endless set up is very popular in the App Store, so I understand why they took this route.

Polished, cute, and fun. That about sums it up.

Cute, fun little platforming pick up and play game. I enjoy being able to plan out my actions instead of simply acting on a tilt. Just don't stay in one place too long thinking when an enemy is nearby. The ones that fly close to the trees will surely get you. The background tree music and sound effects help you to get in the mood of the game. There are a wide variety power-ups each with their own sound effects and character changes. Not to mention the common objects which lay on both trees that will either help you or hinder you on your journey. I can already see it becoming addicting when I think, "Oh just one more game," ten times later. The only thing I wish there was in this game would be levels to play through. This isn't a maker or braker though.

I'm having a lot of fun with this on my touch. When I first got it last night I was trying it on my iPad, and have to say really wasn't enjoying it. I think the controls just aren't very smooth on the larger device. Today I have been playing it on my touch and it's a much better experience. I really like how you aren't constantly moving in this game and can think a little bit about your next move.

Played around with it a little bit today and I am glad that I purchased it. It´s another quality title from Venan.

The animations of the ninja are really well done, as is the background and the enemies. I like it that you aren´t pressed on to move and you can really think about your next steps.

The only thing that´s a little bit of a problem is that it just takes a while to get really tricky. Maybe they should add another difficulty level that starts out with more obstacles.

But I think it´s money well spend.

Finally, it updated.

your personal robot · Aug 31, 2010

That, dear devs, just made my day
Thanks!

superbad · Aug 31, 2010

LOVE THIS update. You know what else? That you're able to download through cloud. Fruit Ninja devs should follow suit if 20MB limit is their problem!

iVaro · Aug 31, 2010

Got the white one around 800m, hopefully I find the green around there too

Haruhi · Aug 31, 2010

Looks absolutely stunning on the iPhone 4. Finally bought.

sammysin · Aug 31, 2010

I so need to try the update. Too freakin' tired though. ;(

Fudgeboy · Sep 1, 2010

love this game got both the new characters from the recent update pretty quickly. but still, this game keeps bringing me back! hoping for maybe an update with a zombie ninja, and maybe some crossovers with other apps to bring in some new characters?

What? Free? Is Venan celebrating their TA GOTY award? I'm downloading...

Tikicobra · May 3, 2011

Bump.

I just downloaded this and I'm wondering, did someone cheat this game? The highest score on the leaderboards is 10,000,000 and the second best is like 61,000, which I find curious.

Also, is this game still getting updates?
