Sunny skies, lush forest and rolling hills combine to form the land known as Ninjatown where adorable and honorable Ninjas populate this vibrant yet peaceful place. However, after the mysterious eruption of a nearby volcano, Ninjatown is attacked by hordes of sinister enemies lead by Mr. Demon, who, for reasons unknown, is bent on destruction. It is now time to use each of the Ninjas’ unique skills and powers – including the Mighty Wind of Ninja Dropping and Stealth Hugs - even the Ol’ Master Ninja comes out of retirement to fight off the evil and secure Ninjatown, one district at a time. The game is played from the top down, where the player uses the stylus to strategically place Ninjas to defend each area. The action is non-stop!

Mr. Demon has used trickery to make his way to the foothills of the Feroshi Mountains! Take down his troops on the Jagged Pathway as you enlist the help of the rare and powerful Mountain Ninjas! You'll need to strategically divide up your defenses when you tackle the Split Pass, and beware of the Balloon Devils, who rain destruction down from above. Foothills Pond has two entrances and exits to defend, and you'll need to place your Ninja resources carefully to take down wave after wave of the enemy. Finally, Mountain Junction has four paths to defend, and Ninja Consultant estimates at least 100 enemies to defeat, indicating that this is just a taste of the difficult challenges that lay ahead for the Ninjas.
