Ninja War drops you into a adventure challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. The core of it is fighting. Everything runs client-side, so it starts fast even on a modest connection.

How to play Ninja War
You can work the whole thing out by playing it. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.

|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move and jump |
| J / K / L | Punch, kick and block |
On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
