It's a straight-out fighting game based on the Naruto franchise (which includes games for the DS, PSP, and Wii), and allows players to choose five of the series' more popular characters: Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Rock (Lee), and Gaara. Control details should be available in the help menu of the game.

Naruto Pocket v1.0 is coded in Lua, and is reportedly team kalog's first homebrew game. If you happen to be a big fan of the Naruto series, and have the space to spare on your memstick, you might just enjoy this game. Guys who'd like to give team kalog their feedback can do so by dropping by mariovallo_03's release thread over at the QJ.NET PSP Development forums.
