Description

Ninja Reflex is a game to test the players reaction speed and timing. The mini-games consist of catching flies with chopsticks, catching Koi fish from a pond along with training with martial arts weapons of the shuriken, samurai sword and nunchaku. Completing these tasks will earn the player a digital belt from their own personal sensai.

There is also a meditation method where the game will guide the player to calm their breathing and relaxing their muscles. It can support up to four-players on a multi-player mode, letting players challenge each other to see who has faster reaction times.

Trivia

It is no coincidence the game ended up being published by Nunchuck Games for the Windows platform. The development studio Sanzaru Games Inc. consists of various former Z-Axis members and the publishing company Nunchuck Games is headed by David Luntz, former head of Z-Axis.
