Ninja School… will help you! This is the cryptic beginning to the almost as cryptic game Kid Niki: Radical Ninja. Kid Niki, who is affiliated with the aforementioned Ninja school, takes his Spinning Sword and takes on a strange quest to run to the right and destroy Evil. Evil with uncreative names like Death Breath who can blow at you really hard, Spike who has lots of spikes, and the Green Grub who is a giant green grub.
While you’re running to the right, you are constantly assaulted by gaggles of enemies coming from every direction. Thankfully, one hit will kill them, but to be fair, one hit from them will kill you, too.
But all that’s OK because you have the inexplicable Spinning Sword. The Spinning Sword doesn’t spin in the direction you’re probably thinking it does. Its motion kind of looks like a lawn mower blade, which I’d be pretty scared of if I was in the enemy Ninja army.
The game is a quirky kind of fun, but the fragility of your character seriously ramps up the difficulty. You will need excellent reflexes to succeed at whatever it is you’re doing. “Help(ing) you”, apparently.
