## Description
A mysterious thief has started showing up in town, snagging treasure as he
grapples through the air, silhouette against the full moon. He uses the things
he steals to help townsfolk and solve problems. The citizens have given him a
nickname – the Moon Dancer.
Created by Gen Suzuki, maker of Ninja Five-O, _Grappling Action: Moon Dancer_
is a side-scrolling platformer that is played with the iPhone’s accelerometer
and touch screen. The player moves Moon Dancer by tilting the device left or
right, and throws out his grapple by tapping the screen where you want the
grapple to end. As with Bionic Commando, Moon Dancer cannot jump and thus must
use his grapple to traverse through all terrain. The grapple can also be used
to snag far-off objects while Moon Dancer is flying through the air – he also
gains bonus multipliers for every moon coin he grabs without touching the
ground (up to a maximum of x8).
Depending on the level, Moon Dancer must either find one or more objects and
either give them to people, or use them (such as a key to unlock a door). By
swiping the bottom of the screen from left to right, the inventory is
displayed, allowing Moon Dancer to use items. The other goal a level may have
is to reach the exit – in this kind of level, it’s up to Moon Dancer to find
the exit, which is marked by a large arrow that points him in the right
direction.
