I AM NINJA - Ask a Ninja Game Released in iTunes App Store
Podcasting stars' 1st iPhone app, donating 10% to charity
05.01.2009 – Press Release -- Los Angeles, CA -- May 1, 2009 -- The killer 'Ask a Ninja' experience is now available as an app for the Apple® iPhone™ and iPod® Touch. Starting today in the iTunes® app store, AxoStudios™ and Beatbox Giant Productions™ are proud to introduce "I AM NINJA" an awesome new ninja-themed game.
"The I AM NINJA app is really cool and gives you a lot of bang for the buck," said Kent Nichols, co-founder of Beatbox Productions. "It includes a full game, three additional minigames, streaming Ask a Ninja podcast videos, community features, and exclusive-content."
Additionally, AxoStudios and Beatbox Giant Productions have decided to contribute 10% of net proceeds from the app to Dr. Sylvia Earle's Deep Search Foundation.
"It is my wish to inspire people to use all means at their disposal to ignite public support for creating a global network of marine protected areas," said Dr. Earle. "And we are pleased to see Beatbox Giant Productions and AxoStudios taking such a creative path toward helping our foundation save the big blue heart of our planet." Dr. Earle won the 2009 TED 'One Wish to Save the World' Prize.
"We had been talking about creating a ninja-fied iPhone game for awhile," added Nichols. "When we met AxoStudios' CEO at the 2009 TED conference, it was a perfect fit and we literally started working together on the app right there. Since we had both been moved by Sylvia's presentation earlier, we decided to make helping her clean up the world's oceans part of our plan from the get go."
"I AM NINJA is just fun. It's exciting, but it also has a sense of humor," said Douglas Sarine, also a co-creator of the Ask a Ninja videos. "It's got blood and death sounds, a great look and feel, good music, dynamic gameplay, community -- it's all there. We're digging it and that usually means our fans will too."
