Ninjatown Hints II (DS)

Ninjatown is a tower defense strategy video game developed by Venan Entertainment and published by SouthPeak Interactive exclusively for the Nintendo DS in October 28, 2008. The game is based on characters created by famous toy designer, artist and former editor of Electronic Gaming Monthly Shawn Smith. He is the artist behind the Shawnimals line of toys, with Ninjatown being based on one character from the Shawnimal franchise, the Wee Ninja.

Ninjatown is a peaceful small town populated by Ninjas, as the title suggests, but things change when, after a volcanic eruption, the once quiet town is invaded by enemies, led by the evil Mr. Demon, who is bent on wiping out the whole village and destroying the ninjas who inhabit it. In order to defend it, the player controls Ol' Master Ninja, who must construct Ninja huts in order to protect the once quiet Ninjatown from the waves of relentless enemies. 

When one enemy reaches a certain point on the screen, the game counts it as a successful invasion and takes one life from the player who has ten at the beginning of each level. Based on how many lives the player has lost, at the end of each level, Ninjatown awards a grade, ranging from A to D. If the player hasn't lost any lives, he is given an A grade, but if he or she lost 1-2 or 3-4 lives, then they will get a B or a C, respectively. If the player loses any more lives, then he or she will receive a D. If all lives are lost, the level needs to be restarted. When and if such a thing happens for more than one time, the player has the chance to start the level on the easy difficulty, and will get an E if he completes it, no matter how many lives he has left.

HINTS

Wee Ninjas

The Wee Ninjas are available from the beginning of the game and may seem "normal," but if you want to succeed easily on later districts, build plenty of Wee Ninja huts around the road. Wee Ninjas have a normal speed and fairly good attacks, but cannot be slowed down, stunned, poisoned, or "zombified." One of the best layouts would be two Wee Ninja huts for one other type close range Ninja and one type of long range Ninja.

Feroshi the Dino Slug

Feroshi the Dino Slug will be available on the district "The Ovens" for certain levels. He will be moving around the road, and for a certain amount of Ninja Star Cookies, he will perform weak, normal or strong attacks (fire balls). Select him and choose between the three amounts of Ninja Star Cookies (25, 50, or 100 in order of strength). However, if you feed him too much, he will take a quick nap of about fifteen seconds.
