Game of the Day - Charlie Ninja

Charlie Ninja is a cartoon disguised as a platform game.  You take the form of Charlie Ninja (not even sure what species he is) and you fight your way through all kinds of levels that would make Hanna and Barbera proud.

You throw ninja stars and fight your way past all types of enemies.  Destroying lots of things that wind up turning into power-ups.   Your weapons can even become the guided missile variety - pretty good for a hand-thrown, tuning-fork-looking thingy. Of course you can jump and double jump to get to high stuff and there is lots of up & down action to keep you busy.  The one extra they put in the controls is that if you push both buttons at once, you turn invisible (or transparent) and enemies and gunfire go right through you.  You can see it in top picture, just to the left of the horse.

There's fire and caverns to jump over and enemies from all eras to fight.  The first two levels are the old west and then some sort of military/Rambo-esque goings on.

It's very cartoony and done with detail and a lot of love.  Charlie Ninja may be a little goofy, but it's a lot of fun.
