Rise of the Ninja

Rise of the Ninja is an arcade platformer where you play a ninja apprentice and have to get as far as you can by jumping from one tree trunk to another. If you miscalculate a jump, you'll fall in the the water and have to start over from the beginning. Along the way, you'll also see different targets scattered around the setting that you'll have to try to hit with your shurikens.

The controls in Rise of the Ninja are simple: tapping the right side of the screen makes your character jump (or double jump), and tapping the left side shoots a shuriken in a straight line. Using these controls, you have to try to get as far as you can while knocking down all the targets in front of you.

Rise of the Ninja is an arcade game with a simple and direct concept that offers a fun and straightforward gameplay. The graphics, with a look openly influenced by 16-bit games, are especially great.
