Ninjatown is a tower defense strategy video game on the Nintendo DS that was released in 2008.

Ninjatown is based on characters created by toy designer, artist and former Electronic Gaming Monthly editor Shawn Smith.

The player can then invest these cookies into building and upgrading huts to deal with the ever-increasing waves of enemies.

These include buildings like the training dojo which can increase the ninjas' attack power, or the green tea bistro which makes units move faster.

Elder Ninja Powers give the player more time to build houses and upgrade units.

Tokens allow the player to summon special ninjas who each have a unique, time-limited area-of-effect ability.

The development team worked closely with Shawn Smith to design gameplay roles for the ninjas he created.
