Android app review: Ninjump

by Dexter Damien Chan

Created on: March 11, 2011   Last Updated: March 14, 2011

If you are looking for an Android Phone Game App that will keep your finger, eyes occupied and a chance to set a high score, you can play the Ninjump today - a game developed by Backflip Studios, who are famous for their other game like Paper Toss.

And it's free for you to download from the Android Marketplace as well!

What Is Ninjump All About?

You will play as a Ninja on a red band who will be climbing upwards and constantly jumping between two walls. And your task is to climb as high as possible to earn points and at the same time to avoid obstacles like:



- Angry Birds
- Killer Squirrels
- Enemy Ninjas who will throwing stars and exploding bombs
- Fixtures on the Wall

Your finger will be what you will be using to help you jump from wall to wall. With each tap of your finger, you will also activate your Ninja to swing its sword out and knock out any obstacles that's along the jump.

Get Three of the Same Kinds (e.g. Three of the Angry Birds) consecutively, and you will get a bonus jump which is equivalent to earning extra points. Getting a different combination, e.g. Angry Birds, Killer Squirrels and then Angry Birds will not help you much. Landing yourself directly on Enemy Ninjas or Fixtures will just end the game.

Therefore you will need to have a certain level of concentration to perform the jumping stunt well and it will definitely not be an easy task as you need to focus what's coming along each side of the wall and to jump at the right moment.

To help you prolong your game play, you will also have shield orbs that will protect you against a single knock from any obstacles.

Why Is Ninjump So Interesting?

Though you may get quite bored after awhile because things tend to get repetitive with all the jumping and avoiding but this also means you are really that good to be able to survive that long!

For most people who gave this game a 4.5 stars rating would agree that it's the "you do not know what will come along and how to avoid at the right timing" that makes the game so interesting.

It's also how you have to train your eyes to look hard and fast enough. You have to control your fingers not to tap at the wrong time as well. For example, you may experience an angry bird that is coming from the right side of the wall, naturally you will just do a tap and a jump to the right side of the wall to continue your way but if at that moment, there's also an Enemy Ninja on the right side waiting to throw stars at you. And you must know that your Ninja will not be able to knock
