Dinsun Review
I've played this game a thousand times under a thousand different names. Lil Ninja is the definition of 'shovelware.' The physics are floaty, the level design is uninspired, and the assets look like they were pulled from a free Unity pack.
There is no 'hook.' There is no reason to play this over Mario, Rayman, or even the dozens of better free platformers on the store. It’s not offensively bad, it’s just completely unnecessary. It exists solely to occupy space and hopefully generate a few ad clicks. Don't waste your time.
