HappyGiant's Ninja Time Pirates takes you back to Independence Day

If you’re in the mood for Independence Day, you can play HappyGiant‘s Ninja Time Pirates and step back in time. In the game, you can travel back to Colonial Boston and relive events like Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride and The Shot Heard Round the World.

This fuses history and science into an action game on iOS and Android (and it’s on Steam Greenlight). HappyGiant just launched its multiplayer version of Ninja Time Pirates just in time for the Fourth of July. The update was timed so that players can enjoy the game over the long holiday weekend.
