Nin2-Jump Hops On To Xbox Live Arcade On April 27

Cave is taking a step away from maniac shooters with their next title, a shadow play style action game called Nin²-Jump.

You’ll help Nin Ja (that’s really the name of the main character!) jump through five worlds and fifty levels to save a princess. He’s armed with Kusari, chains that can hook into walls so you can dash over obstacles. Invoke your ninjutsu power and you can dash into enemies to kill them for a limited time.

On top of adventure mode, Nin²-Jump has a score attack mode where you face an infinite number of enemies. Nin²-Jump will be released on April 27 for 400 Microsoft Points ($5). Proceeds from sales of the game will go towards earthquake relief efforts in Japan. While an announcement was only made in Japan, Cave told us Nin2-Jump will be released worldwide.
