Sit back, relax, and let the fattest ninja
since Chris Farley aid you in the unique art
of Ninja Fishing.
It's a simple addictive title that consists
of four phases. First is navigating your fishing
line as far down as it will go, avoiding all
the fish by tilting your iPhone. Then either
when you've reached the bottom or accidentally
snagged a fish, your line comes up again,
and now it's time to grab up to twenty five
of the largest, juiciest pieces of sea life
the waters near Mt. Fuji have to offer.
Once your rod reaches the surface, all the
fish are flung into the air and it's time
to use your ninja prowess to slice all the
fish up for cold hard cash while avoiding
the sticks of dynamite that somehow got tangled
on your line. Your earnings can then be used
to buy upgrades from the fishing store, which
allows you to delve deeper, slice harder and
earn greater rewards.
Your fishing escapades are accompanied by
a gentle Japanese theme that helps set the
mood and keep things fun. The visuals are
colorful and easy on the eyes while the control
is fluid enough to make any mistakes that
occur fall directly at the feet of the player.
Most of the game's content is earning enough
money to purchase all the upgrades, but more
upgrades, fish, and modes are promised by
the developers in the future.
Ninja fishing is fun and addictive. Pairing
the gameplay of relaxing fish avoidance with
rabid slashing with the lure of purchasing
more upgrades on top makes for a title where
the words “just one more turn” will be
voiced on more than one occasion. This title
is definitely worth a look.
