A side-scrolling beat 'em up game where stick figures fight inside a paper notebook.
In the genre of Beat 'em Up games, there are many heroes. Double Dragon, and Final Fight spawned countless, well fights. The genre has a long history but now - now there is a new hero. Unnammed, silent, deadly... a stick figurine.
Yes, Notebook Ninja takes place inside a notebook. Your hero is a stick fighter, the enemies are stick fighters. The surrounding graphics are all composed of scribbles.
The game play is identical to any previous Beat 'em Up game. Walk right while beating up any enemies you encounter. They begin to become more difficult as they wield weapons to beat you with. Fortunately, you can pick up the weapons they drop and use them for your own purpose.
In short - if you can look past the deliberately lack-lustre graphics - the game is quite fun. It's true to the genre and has a neat sense of humour. For fans of the genre, this is recommended.
