Game: Ninjatown: Trees of Doom

The survival genre has provided iPhone gamers with great fun over the past few years. Whether we're talking about early releases like Doodle Jump or Canabalt or recent successes like Superfall and Above, traversing great distances until you just can't go any further has become a staple experience on the iPhone. But while all of these games are precious, they're also incredibly simple. Success is dependent less on skill and more on luck. Come across the wrong obstacle or miss the right platform and its game over. But what if the survival genre could be something more? What if it could be built on challenging gameplay instead of luck and repetition?
