Game Play
In addition to collecting power-ups for additional ''ninjas'' you can power up your weapons with blue icons. For example, collect one for the ninja stars and instead of shooting them in a straight line, they go four ways. Collect one for the bombs and you'll throw three or four at a time, causing massive damage.
