DESCRIPTION

This side-scrolling combat game follows a heroic rescue attempt, made by a young man called Kage (pronounced "kah-gay,"). Kage is a ninja armed with a knife, a stash of throwing stars, and the distinctive ability to jump almost ten times his own height. Once he leaves the ground, the player has no control of his movements, so jumping should be executed carefully. The princess Kiri has been captured, and Kage must track her kidnappers through a forest in the first stage. The second stage is set in the moat at the foot of the castle; Kage must defeat a certain number of enemies before advancing. The third stage requires Kage to ascend the castle by jumping from support beam to support beam, evading or defeating enemy ninjas along the way. Finally, Kage must fight his way through the heart of the castle itself to find and rescue Princess Kiri. Once she's been rescued, the game starts again at the first stage, at a higher difficulty setting and with a different color scheme. ~ All Game Guide
