Great name! If only somebody with a bigger budget had thought of it first. While we love the concept of a ginger ninja terrorizing the cake shop, the only thing this game has really got going for it is the lead character.

It's a bog-standard 3D platformer with incredibly horrid controls. Simply getting the sugary hero to land on a platform is no mean feat, as he'll often slide right off the other side or fail to jump high enough because he hit a sticky wall. It's an opportunity lost through low production values.
