Absolute mindless fun at the cost of a packet of chewing gum. Straw Ninja: Just Run [App Store] is the first in a series of  ”One Touch Play” casual games from the geniuses at Digital Play.  Everyone can play, no complex moves to remember – just run ya Ninjaness off! Global leaderboards utilising Openfeint will show off who is grand master of the tap and hold. With a very simple and addictive control system, even if you had your arm severed in combat you’d still have a chance of winning.

• Tap to jump
• Tap once again to shoot straw when straw-ninja is jumping.
• Tap and hold to “swingjump” over the other side.

Keep him airborne to get big kamikaze points. Graphically whimsical with a sea of cool. Not as frantic as Canabalt but still awesome fun!

Another little gem. 3.5 stars.
