The game advances from left to right through side-scrolling stages that mix ground combat, jumps, moving platforms, and vertical movement. The ninja can attack with a sword at close range, throw shurikens for distance, and use ninjutsu for powerful special effects when available. Enemies appear from multiple angles, so positioning and timing matter as much as reflexes. Stages end in boss battles, and progression is linear with no branching routes.

Characters
Ninja protagonist
The player-controlled hero who uses sword attacks, shurikens, and ninjutsu to clear the stages.
Strategy
Learn enemy spawn points and attack patterns so you are not trapped on narrow terrain. Use shurikens to control space, but rely on sword strikes when opponents get close. Save ninjutsu for dense enemy waves or dangerous boss phases. In platform sections, prioritize safe landing spots over aggressive movement.
