The (not so) Great Escape (attempt..)! Pockie Ninja's brought down to size

What do you do when pocket-sized game characters breakout of their world and try to wreak havoc in ours? Well, if you're publisher NGames the answer is simple – teach them a lesson, full-size style! 

Pocket-sized ninja's sure think they're tough. Ever since publisher NGames launched the beta of Pockie Ninja, a free-to-play MMO featuring mini versions of well known Naruto & Bleach characters, the game's stars have been strutting around like they own the place. But not any more!
Briefly escaping from Angel City – the MMO's game world – to wreak havoc in "big world", publisher NGames quickly brought the tiny martial artists' egos down to size, releasing a series of admittedly cute images to show us how they dealt with the escaped hooligans.

Warning: these scenes of Big vs. Small bullying may confuse you, but only because of how cute they are. N'awwww.

Picking on the little people shouldn't be this much fun..

Capture #1: They say the pen is mightier than the sword, but NGames weren't taking any risks. They figured if the pen is mightier than a big sword, a screwdriver must kick the ass of a mini one! They were right.

Capture #2: A technique taught by ancient monks for centuries, the "little flick" is a devastating finishing move when used on 3 inch tall opponents. DO NOT TRY this at home on full-size people. You'll lose.

Capture #3: Sometimes, it's best to just sedate your target. This one was already looking a little drawn anyway..

 
Capture #4 & #5: TIP - If you're tiny and plan an escape, best to cut your hair first. Otherwise this happens and you just end up looking silly.

Capture #6: This mini martial artist was stood around being cheeky. We think they call this "poetic justice".

Capture #7: The ants sure got an eyeful of this character!!

Capture #8: Not all Pockie Ninjas broke out for mischief – some just came to dance. That's it..grab our finger..do a spin...nowww...back to Angel City you go!!

Capture #9: Caption Censored. (Something about fun and bags.)

Capture #10: This was almost an endless struggle, until he saw what happened with capture #9. He volunteered to walk back to Angel City soon after.

Capture #11: Fearing the worst, NGames hired the beetles for some help. This one sung Yellow Submarine so beautifully it brought a tear to Pockie Ninja eyes

Capture #12: Like it or not, NGames didn't want to see their creations return to the game world hurt. Good job this healing "bud"dha was on hand to help out.

Capture #13: Upon breakout, the ninja's were heard saying "You could swing a cat in here!". Cheers for the tip!

Capture #14: Apparently, the raid was inspired by a search for the "mad lootz hidden in the outside world!". They even found some in the end! NGames said it was easier to just let them keep it.

Capture #15: The final capture of the day! Well, the Pockie Ninjas did think they'd have a "ball" after the breakout

NGames are doing everything they can to prevent another breakout, but you can help them by signing up to Pockie Ninja's beta testing phase and keeping the Naruto/Bleach characters busy. You can sign up and play for free now: http://www.pockieninja.com

Pockie Ninja!

Anime fans will feel right at home in the world of Pockie Ninja, a browser-based brawler MMO incorporating some of the best known characters and special abilities from the infamous Bleach and Naruto series, including Naruto Uzumaki and his infamous Demon Fox form!

The game offers a deep item synthesising system, which allows any two items to be combined into often surprising results, and a robust choice of customisable outfits that each offer special abilities and stat boosts.
Pockie Ninja also does away with the usually rigid class system found in modern day MMO's, instead allowing players to freely change their class and "school of ninja" whenever they choose.

With so many ways to play and experience Pockie Ninja, you'll have endless fun embracing the ways of the ninja while helping to restore the natural balance of order to Angel City.
