About the Game

Immerse yourself in a Japan themed twist on the beloved match 3 genre. Here rather than simply sliding pieces to form groups, you will take on the role of a skilled ninja, wielding an array of weapons to launch attacks against enemies while strategically uniting your allies.

Each weapon you encounter has its own attack pattern, providing you with strategic options to pass the puzzles. This allows for you to find multiple approaches to each challenge.

As you become proficient with all the weapons the difficulty ramps up. Enemies will start to deploy traps, adding an extra layer of complexity that will require you to think several steps ahead in order to beat the puzzles successfully.

Key Features:

  • Match 3 Game with a Twist

  • 20 Missions

  • 6 Levels per Mission

  • A total of 120 Levels to Solve

  • 6 Distinct Weapons

  • 5 Types of Traps

  • Japan Themed Game
