Cubic Ninja - review details

The motion controls are horrible, leading to extreme movements to control the character.
The 3D effect is automatically disabled when playing with motion controls.
The circle pad can be used to control the player, enabling 3D, but that highlights the mediocre and uninspired level design.
“Mercifully short”
100 levels, each taking a minute on average.
