KAYAC, Inc., a prominent Japanese IT creative company and web/mobile app developer, continues to expand its roster of games available to U.S. iPhone® users with the launch of TAP NINJA, the company’s latest addictive action title which allows players to run, jump and slash like a ninja! Easily played with just one hand, simply tap the screen to jump between both sides of the road and slice through any foe that dares cross your path. Clear missions and raise your score, but be careful because if you run into a foe or an obstacle, it`s game over! How far will YOU be able to run?” TAP NINJA is currently available for FREE download from the iPhone/iTunes AppStore at itunes.apple.com/us/app/tap-ninja. TAP NINJA is compatible with the Apple iPhone 3GS/iPhone4/iPhone4S, all iPad models and the iPod touch (3rd Generation or later). Tap the screen to control a ninja embarking on a dangerous night mission. Players must defeat threatening foes and avoid obstacles and try to achieve a high score based on the total distance the ninja runs and the coins they acquire. The game is the latest app to join KAYAC’s growing library of fun action games... Hunt The Monsters: A unique RPG game featuring fun retro-graphics.

We look forward to North American users discovering these and other game titles from KAYAC that we plan to release this summer. The idea of inspiring whimsical creativity and offering unique interactive products that are fun to use are at the core of everything KAYAC does, and we hope to create a new legion of fans here in America!” KAYAC recently had a notable U.S. debut at the annual SXSW music tradeshow in Austin, TX, where it showcased Photobag, a signup-free app service that allows users to select photos that they want to share with other mobile devices through a user generated access code, and MusicParty, which allows a user’s friends to share music through Bluetooth or wireless to their iPhone. Photobag is downloadable from the iTunes App Store and the Android Market. The MusicParty app is available in the iTunes App Store. KAYAC also developed Nakamap, a free app for iPhone and Android handsets that provides real-time geo-location sharing and group chat.
