Ninja-Kun: Majō no Bōken is a vertically scrolling action-platformer brought to the NES by UPL in 1984. The game challenges you to guide a diminutive ninja up multi-tiered stages, using agility and shurikens to defeat waves of enemies. Memorizing enemy movement patterns and platform layouts is key, as each level requires precision to survive the ascent.
How to play
The objective is to clear each vertical stage of all enemies to advance. In the browser, the NES controls are mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow keys to move, press Z to attack with your shurikens, and press X to jump. Use Enter for Start and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Take advantage of the game’s distinctive wall-jump mechanic to swiftly scale the vertical stages and evade enemy attacks.
- You can momentarily stun enemies by jumping onto their heads, giving you a brief window to line up a shuriken throw or retreat.
