Avatar Ninja! 2

Avatar Ninja is a game that, as the title may suggest, tests the ninja
skills of the player’s Xbox Avatar. The player’s avatar is constantly running
down a river on the top of the water, and there are two bars to keep track of.
The red bar is the rhythm bar, and the player must continually press the A
button to keep it filled. The blue bar is the focus bar, which goes down when
the player hits an obstacle, and will slowly refill over time. The lower the
focus bar is, the faster the A button must be pressed to fill the rhythm bar,
and if the rhythm bar empties, the game is over.

There are several types of obstacles along the way. Logs must be jumped over
with X, bombs must be slid under with B, and targets must be shot down with a
shuriken using Y. There are also many coins that that must be collected for
points, as well as several ninja magic powers the can be collected to give an
ability like a focus boost or shield. The level increases after set distances,
increasing the speed and difficulty of the game until inevitable failure.
