How it plays
How does The Ninja Kids play?
The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. Players advance from left to right, defeat enemy groups, and reach the end of each stage, where a boss encounter usually awaits.
Movement, normal attacks, jumping, and special attacks form the basic combat system. Up to four players can cooperate, and progress comes from clearing stages rather than from a character-leveling system.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play The Ninja Kids?
Stay near the center of the group so enemies cannot surround you from both sides. Use jumping attacks to approach safely, then return to grounded attacks when opponents are clustered.
In multiplayer, spread across the screen without separating too far. Save powerful special attacks for dense enemy waves and boss openings rather than spending them on isolated enemies.
