Gameplay
In this game, players have to collect the scroll as a ninja. This game consists of many levels in which you have to capture the scroll. Players need to get past enemy ninjas. Players have to jump from path to path or obstacle to obstacle. Each new level becomes harder with more ninjas. The ninjas dont seem to do anything besides stand there and look at you. If you jump towards them or on them, they will die. After each level, the game will give you a ninja ranks based on 3 stars. I have noticed that the more ninjas you kill the better chance of getting three stars. When you dont kill any ninjas, you will be given zero stars. Your ninja will bounce off things and sometimes will fall when jumping form one path to another. A new obstacle that appeared in the levels was spinning blades. If you get near any of them, your ninja will be shattered to pieces. Players must also use their ninja skills to get past destructible walls. You can also pause in midair and attempt your next jump. All the levels are different and challenging. Levels range from spinning blades in your path to surfaces that weak. Be careful! You dont have to kill the ninjas even though they wont fight back at you. My favorite part is how this game is fun and seems like what a ninja in the real world would be like. Players can also pause the game. And you might want to turn off the annoying music even though it is goes along with the game.

Graphics
The graphics in this game are alright but not really interesting. The ninjas are short and fat. Ninjas shouldnt look like that. Their physical appearance is awful; however, their skills are amazing in this game as they can do incredible things. The ninjas in the game can jump really far. And as I have mentioned before, they can pause in midair and jump up in the air. When you enter the game or go back to the main menu it shows a great animation. It has two big doors closing and they form a symbol which looks like a symbol. Enemy ninjas are colored differently than you so you wont get confused. Now the best parts about the graphics are the backgrounds and the objects. The background changes each time in every level. Something I have noticed is that the map shakes sometimes and it seems like a glitch. The blades look hair combs when their spinning well on some of them. The details of the backgrounds look great and show giant trees. I like how the rocks in the game have a small glare on them to make it look like the sun is shining on it. The in-game messages are really clear to read and not blurry which is great. When you die or an enemy ninja dies, a bunch of blob of blood appears and leaves. It looks weird. I hope they can make it look more realistic even though it seems like a childs game.

Controls
The only control the player will experience is using the mouse to catapult their ninja. Players need to drag and aim their ninja. In farther levels, players need to avoid getting killed by the blades. Players will click and hold the mouse button and extend the arrow forward or backward to give the ninja the direction to jump. When youre about to fall off the amp, you can hold the mouse button down and try to save yourself by jumping up. Once released, players will have to carefully control the ninja as it makes its way to the scroll. To successfully make it to the scroll, players need to be on the ball about where the ninja goes. Players can jump on ninjas to kill them and it is super easy. This game has some easy controls and you should have no problem with them. Except sometimes when I want to jump again right away it wont let me. It takes the game 3 seconds to respond to my clicking. Overall the controls of this game are just plain out simple which always makes things fun.
