About Pocket Ninja 게임

포켓 닌자(Pocket Ninja)는 기술과 민첩성 훈련을 위해 고안된 콤팩트한 게임입니다. 크기가 70밀리미터로 주머니에 쏙 들어가기 때문에 집, 체육관은 물론 여행 중에도 즐길 수 있습니다. 포켓 닌자는 조립되지 않은 상태로 배송되며, 사용자는 동봉된 부품과 설명서를 이용해 입체 퍼즐처럼 직접 게임을 조립합니다. 특수한 형태로 성형된 그립부는 'DYNOs'라 불리는 훈련 동작을 지원하는데, 이는 게임 기물을 던진 뒤 그립을 바꿔가며 두 손가락으로 받아내는 방식입니다. 이 게임은 이탈리아에서 사출 성형 방식으로 생산됩니다.
