Return of the Ninja — About this game
Return of the Ninja for Game Boy Color. Stop at the edge of an unfamiliar gap and study the landing space. Handle one threat at a time, then look for a safe route forward. A repeat attempt is easier when you remember where a dangerous approach began instead of repeating the same blind run.
