Super Secret Ninja
The gameplay is extremely simple: use the arrow keys to move and jump around, up and down to aim your ninja rope, and CTRL key to throw the rope to attach it to poles and other surfaces to navigate through platforms. You can also turn invisible, but it has limited uses. Like most good action games, there seems to be a perfectly positive correlation between ease of use and addictiveness: Super Secret Ninja is as addictive to play as its gameplay mechanics is simple. Graphics, while a bit too drab for my tastes, is more than adequate - the Japanese-style fortresses in particular are drawn nicely. All in all, this is one of those rare gems like Wire Hang Redux that you simply have to play to know how much fun it is... I always have trouble explaining the appeal of 'simple, but not simplistic' underdogs :) The author deserves extra points for designing a non-violent game that is perfect for kids as well. Two thumbs up, way up!
