Game: 1-bit Ninja

There's a word I kept coming back to over and over while playing 1-Bit Ninja. I just couldn't seem to shake it as I played though this game that looked like it belonged on the old Game Boy and felt like Super Mario Bros. The levels looked deceptively simple but became devilishly difficult, and still I couldn't shake the word out of my brain. As I struggled to complete a level my wife asked me what I thought of the game. "I think... I think it's brilliant," I said.
