Tuga Ninja
Pastries and combos
Slice several pastries in one swipe to make a combo. Avoid the Barcelos roosters and azulejo tiles: they cost you points and break your combo. Slicing a bomb ends the round.

Read the video description and sounds
A Tuga Ninja round in a bakery with blue tiles and a wooden counter. At the start of this excerpt, the display shows 230 points and about 35 seconds remaining. Pastries fly up from the bottom. A silver trail follows the slices, and the pastry halves fall away.
Bombs with lit fuses, tiles and roosters appear among the pastries. Slicing increases the score; gestures that slice several pastries produce combos and bonus points. Near the end, the pace quickens. A four-pastry combo appears; the excerpt ends at 745 points with about 10 seconds remaining.
Rhythmic instrumental music plays with launching, slicing and crunching sounds, crackling fuses, rooster calls and combo chimes. There is no dialogue in the original version. The audio-described version adds a synthesized English voice describing the setting, slices, hazards and combos.
