Ninjabread Man is an Action Adventure and Platform Game created by Data Design Interactive for the PlayStation 2, PC and Wii. After nearly being eaten by a foxy fox in the original story, The Gingerbread Man decides to learn self-defense. Now he's willing to kick butt as The Ninjabread Man, slashing baked enemies with his sword as he tries to learn more powerful moves.

Although the PlayStation 2 version never came to light, the Wii version got lots of flack for its terrible controls and short game content. Despite this, a sequel is being made.... in Europe only, which justifies No Export for You. Thank goodness.

See also Rig Racer 2^[1].

As a bit of a shock, this game started development as a revival of Zool,^[2] but the rights holders gave a look at what was shaping up and decided the results were so absolutely naff that they declined further interest in DDI's "spectacular" work.

Tropes used in Ninjabread Man include:

Badass Adorable: Or at least that's what they tried to do for the main character.
Covers Always Lie: The general consensus is that while the game sucks, the cover and poster for the game is totally badass.
Expy: The engine was used for other DDI games later on.
Follow the Leader
Level Ate: Pretty much the setting of the whole game.
No Ending
No Export for You: The PlayStation 2 version never made it past Europe...and for good reasons too.
A Winner Is You: If you actually manage to beat the game, the screen goes black and you're taken back to the title screen.
