Hanging out in Ninjatown

Come my ninja
Come come my ninja
You're my defender
My wee ninja

Oops, wrong town. Today, we're on about Ninjatown, the adorable Tower Defense-style game which uses cookies as currency. In fact, we've got ten cutesy new screens. Even though Ninjatown is based on time-honored gameplay principles, it takes such a fresh approach that we're always happy to see something about it. The enemies, the minions of Mr. Demon, can't resist the Ninja Baby, and neither can we.

That song isn't THAT old. And I think most of us are between 13-30, so I'm pretty sure almost everyone gets it.

I think you should have gone with the "What's up my ninja?" reference from "Leprechaun: Back 2 Da Hood", the greatest movie ever made.

PLEASE tell me you are kidding. The Leprechaun movies were senseless and after the first one were just the same thing with new and more gruesome ways of killing people.

Seriously, dead story, and some of the most disgusting images I've seen in my life. Just thinking about it is traumatizing me all over.

Well, yes, but they were also very funny.

I think it was Leprechaun 4 that involved going to space. That one was pure genius.

Leprechaun 5 was "Leprechaun in the Hood", which had the famous Leprechaun rapping scene.

And "Leprechaun: Back 2 Da Hood" is just complete insanity. It's comedy gold.

But the first two were pretty awful horror movies, certainly. Still enjoyable in a weird way.
