Dog Ninja

"Ninjas rock. They can cut through, like, anything. Also? This ninja's a dog."

- Ninja Dog Description

Dog Ninja (犬忍者 inu ninja) is the twenty-third rhythm game in Rhythm Heaven. The main playable character is a dog that slices various things such as vegetables, tires, and frying pans. Getting a perfect on this one unlocks the gift called "Life of a Dog Ninja".

Gameplay
The objects can come into the screen from either side and be sliced when they reach the middle. They can also come in on both sides at the same time, but this doesn't change the timing, it just causes somewhat of a distraction. When a good slice is done, the object splits in half.

Controls

 * Flick: Slice

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: The item is solidly sliced in half.
 * Barely: The item will bounce of of the blade, making a slight noise.
 * Miss: The sword will completely miss the thrown item.

Rating Notes

 * Try Again: "Haaaaiiii - - Huh?"
 * OK: "I think I've earned a little snack."
 * Superb: "Nothing beats fresh-sliced veggies!"
