Ninja Throw

Ninja Throw is a smartphone game for accelerometer-equipped iOS and Android devices. Players throw their phones like shurikens as far as they dare to earn imaginary internet points and bragging rights.

Ninja Throw was written during a 24-hour Facebook Hackathon by Qifan Xi, Andrea Mittelstaedt, and Matthew McPherrin. Its creation was motivated by a lack of sleep and an abundance of expensive phones.
