Today is the scheduled release date for Feral Interactive's Mini Ninjas. Developed by Io Interactive, Mini Ninjas follows the young ninja, Hiro and his friends as they travel through spellbound lands to do battle with a magical army of animals-turned-samurai.

UPDATE: Feral has announced that Mini Ninjas has been delayed. An updated release date will be availble "soon."

“Mini Ninjas is such a beautifully imagined game that it makes you want to explore every nook and cranny of its world.” said Feral Interactive’s David Stephen.

“We are delighted to see Mini Ninjas arrive on the Mac” said Io Interactive’s Brand Marketing Director, Justin Hills “Its great style and appeal for younger gamers makes it ideal for the platform.”

Brimming with inventiveness and full of fun, Mini Ninjas offers delightful characters in a beautifully animated world. Whether you're using Hiro's magic, Futo's might, Suzume's stealth, or another path entirely, players are sure of an experience that is enticing, exciting and funny.

With a charming visual style and gameplay that encourages exploration, Mini Ninjas offers younger players a light-hearted yet epic adventure, free of gruesome violence and high on magic.

Key features:

• Six playable ninja characters
  Players can switch easily between any one of the six incredibly cute ninjas, each with different skills, weapons and moves.
  
• Epic open-ended level design
  While Mini Ninjas is organised into linear stages, the environments are lush with a wide open feel and plenty of encouragement for players to explore very nook and cranny of a beautifully imagined world.
  
• Control the animals of the forest
  Throughout their quest the Mini Ninjas encounter a number of different animals from chickens to foxes, frogs, raccoons, and bears. Players may use Kuji magic to possess these animals and use their abilities in the fight against the Evil Samurai Warlord.
  
• Superb style
  Mini Ninjas evokes a magical Japan with a simple, but charming visual style and authentic music – the overall design comes across as a labour of love that has produced an approachable and enjoyable game.
