From its retro-style visuals to old-school platforming, Akane the Kunoichi resembles quite a few classic 8-bit titles, though instead of saving your kidnapped girlfriend/princess, you're out to rescue your secret crush and samurai master Goro.

This Xbox Live Indie Games release offers 15 stages, five different environment, five bosses, three special ninja techniques, and a jumping sound effect that I'm sure will get annoying after a couple minutes.

Akane the Kunoichi is available now for 80 MS Points (free trial available, too).
