Release Date: 12/21/11

A flying saucer landed on Earth; its enigmatic pilot asks for help. Ghosts and monsters lurk inside his magnificent custom painted flying saucer, but Eileen, the new ninja in town, is at the right place at the right time and so she gets to go on an adventure that is as nostalgic as it is NEW.

Inspired by really good classic games like Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario, Mega Man and Metroid, Mystery of the J-Werewolf was designed to be as comfortable as holding an old NES controller, but also to use the modern features of the iOS devices in unique ways.

A classic platformer made by someone who played lots of them. The old meets the new in this new spin on 2D sidescrollers.

If you like Super Mario, Metroid, Ninja Gaiden or Mega Man, this is the 2D game for you. If you are completely tired of collecting stars and repeating the same stages over and over again for better scores, this is the 2D game for you.

Retina Ready: sure, it's pixel art, so all you get will be larger pixels. But, hey: no interpolation!

Get It!

A side-scroller with labyrinth areas, upgrades earned off bosses, chip tune music, pixel art, and a talking dinosaur. Far from polished but its charm should delight a few.

7.5
Dinosaurs, spaceships, and hero-girls: Three great tastes that were obviously meant to go together.
