Once upon a ninja is a game about Aya's quest to find treasure, in order to save her starving village. The actual game revolves around Aya sneaking around a castle, trying to gain three treasures. Once she gets all three she can return to her village with them, un shameful. But in order to get them, she must avoid being seen by the castle's guards.
After you beat the game, you'll be given a rank based on how fast you've beaten the game and by how many times you've been caught by the gaurds. There are five ranks in all, go for the 'A'!
Based upon the fairy tale, "Jack and the Giant Beanstalk"
