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!

Located on the outskirts of Ninjatown, the suburbs are where Mr. Demon launches his first wave of attacks. You'll become familiar with your Wee and Anti-Ninja abilities as you defend Sleepy Sprawl against the first wave of Wee Devils. Use the Old Master Ninja's "Get Off My Lawn!" ability to blow Wee Devils right off the map in Nap Alley. Sugar River Junction introduces the Sniper Ninja, capable of bringing down any flying baddie! You'll need to strategically set up your Ninjas if you want to defeat the Super Wee Devils, who will use their ground smash attack to damage all surrounding Ninja defenders!
