About Pocket Ninja Laro

Ang Pocket Ninja ay isang compact na laro na idinisenyo para sa pagsasanay ng kasanayan at galing ng mga daliri. Ang laro ay may sukat na 70 milimetro at kasya sa bulsa, kaya maaari itong gamitin sa bahay, sa gym, o kahit habang naglalakbay. Dumarating ang Pocket Ninja nang hindi pa nakabuo, at binubuo ito ng mga manlalaro mula sa mga ibinigay na piraso at gabay, tulad ng isang three-dimensional na puzzle. Ang mga hugis na hawakan ay sumusuporta sa isang ehersisyong tinatawag na DYNOs, kung saan ang laro ay inihahagis at sinasalo gamit ang dalawang daliri habang pinapalitan ang hawak. Ginawa ang laro sa Italya gamit ang proseso ng injection moulding.
