Basic Movement Controls

Movement is the foundation of every ninja run. Here are the essential controls:

Action Keyboard Mobile
Move Left← Arrow / ALeft Button
Move Right→ Arrow / DRight Button
Jump↑ Arrow / W / SpaceJump Button
Double JumpPress Jump again mid-airTap Jump twice
Crouch / Slide↓ Arrow / SDown Button
AttackZ / J / XAttack Button
Throw ShurikenHold attack + ↑Hold attack + up
💡

Pro tip: The double jump is your most powerful movement tool. Use it to reach high platforms, escape enemy attacks and extend your jumps over wide gaps.

Combat Basics

Your ninja is equipped with a katana for close-range attacks and a supply of shurikens for ranged combat. Press the attack button while standing or running to perform a katana slash. Hold the attack button and press up to hurl a shuriken in the direction you're facing.

Most standard enemies take two katana hits to defeat, while shielded guards require you to either attack from behind or use a shuriken to break their guard first. Always keep moving — a stationary ninja is an easy target.

Jumping and attacking at the same time performs a dive kick — a powerful downward strike that stuns enemies and can activate certain pressure plates in the environment.

Collecting Power-Ups

Scattered throughout each level are glowing collectibles that boost your ninja's abilities:

  • 🍃 Leaf Scrolls — Adds 5 shurikens to your ammo count. Look for them on high platforms.
  • 💊 Health Orbs — Restores one heart of your health. Don't skip these if you're low on HP.
  • ⚡ Speed Boots — Temporarily doubles your movement speed. Great for outrunning hazards.
  • 🛡️ Shield Fragment — Grants one free hit before the shield breaks. Very useful in boss rooms.
  • ⭐ Gold Stars — Bonus score multipliers. Collect all three in a level to earn a perfect rating.

Environmental Hazards

The ninja world is full of dangers beyond enemy guards. Watch out for:

  • Spike Pits — Instant death on contact. Use the double jump to clear wide spike sections safely.
  • Moving Platforms — Time your jumps to land as the platform reaches its closest point to you.
  • Fire Traps — Triggered by proximity or timers. Study the pattern before committing to a run-through.
  • Falling Boulders — Indicated by a shadow below them. Sprint through the trigger zone quickly.
  • Wind Currents — Push you sideways in the mountain temple levels. Compensate with directional inputs while airborne.
⚠️

When you first enter a new level, take a moment to observe the hazard patterns before moving through them. Patience saves lives!

Boss Battles

Each world (every 3–4 levels) culminates in a boss encounter. Bosses have significantly more health than regular enemies and attack in distinct phases. The key to every boss fight is the same: observe their attack patterns during the first phase before committing to aggressive offence.

Most bosses follow a cycle: attack → pause → vulnerable window. Strike hard during the vulnerable window, then back off before the next attack cycle begins. Using shurikens during the vulnerable window deals extra pressure when you can't safely close the distance.

🏆

If you enter a boss fight low on health, don't despair. Health Orbs sometimes drop when you deal enough damage — keep fighting and they may appear at exactly the right moment.

Advanced Techniques

Once you've mastered the basics, these advanced moves will dramatically improve your performance:

  • Wall Jump: Jump towards a wall and press jump again while touching it to kick off and gain extra height. Essential for reaching secret areas.
  • Slide Cancel: Slide under an enemy's attack and immediately press attack to slash as you exit the slide — a quick way to punish slow enemies.
  • Air Slash: Attack while in the air to perform a horizontal slash. Chaining a jump → air slash → double jump keeps you mobile in combat.
  • Combo Chains: Land three consecutive attacks without missing to activate a combo multiplier that boosts your score for the remainder of the stage.

Gameplay Questions

Run towards a wall and jump just as you make contact with it. While pressing against the wall surface, press the jump button again. Your ninja will kick off the wall and gain extra height. This works on any solid vertical surface.
Look for glowing green Leaf Scrolls on higher platforms in each level. Each one refills 5 shurikens. You can also find shuriken pickups near the start of boss rooms, so save your ammo if you're approaching a world-end level.
Mobile jump height is identical to desktop — the on-screen button triggers exactly the same input. Make sure you're tapping the Jump button quickly and firmly. For the double jump, tap it a second time while your ninja is still rising in the air.
Super Ninja Adventure saves your level progress automatically using your browser's local storage. As long as you play on the same device and browser, your completed levels and best scores will be remembered between sessions.
