Star Ninja: Bounce Throwing Stars to Get the Pirates

A fun game landed on the Windows Phone marketplace this month called Star Ninja. In the main game mode you have to throw ninja stars and bounce them against walls or other obstacles to knock out the pirates in order. Star Ninja was developed by Bounding Box Games which was founded by Eric Cosky who has been in the gameing industry for 14 years and has worked on such games as Red Dead Redemption, EverQuest, Earth & Beyond and others.

The game has a free trial and you can purchase the game for $1.29

Star Ninja is a physics based ricochet genre game where you bounce throwing stars around a level to knock out the all the Pirates in order to proceed to the next level. Well presented family friendly fun with 50 levels of cute animations, ragdoll physics and talking pirates.

There are four game modes: Focus, Frenzy, Campaign and Speed Run. Focus mode has a limited number of stars to throw per level with a time based bonus at the end for finishing quickly. Frenzy mode has unlimited stars to throw, but a limited amount of time to use them. Score in Frenzy mode is based on how much time it takes to clear the level. Campaign and Speed Run modes are essentially long-form versions of Focus and Frenzy, except you play from levels 1 to 50 and the score is cumulative over all the levels. Progress is saved so you can continue the series at any time.
