—Manga Ninja is a unique platformer where you can’t jump directly. Instead, use ninja skills—throw shurikens to create mid-air grapple points and swing with your hook. Explore a stylish comic world full of thrilling challenges and Japanese-inspired stages.
Manga Ninja is an innovative platform jumping game. In this unique comic book world, you will play as a ninja and embark on a challenging adventure.

Unlike traditional jumping games, you cannot jump directly, but need to use your ninja skills skillfully. By launching shuriken, you can create grappling points in the air, and then quickly launch the grappling hook to the position of the shuriken to achieve thrilling displacement. This unique way of moving will bring you an unprecedented gaming experience.

You will embark on an adventure in various scenes full of Japanese characteristics: ancient dojos, quiet bamboo forests, picturesque canals, and magnificent Japanese castles. Each scene has been carefully designed with a unique visual style, full of challenges and fun.

Each of these scenes is framed like panels of a manga. With traps and challenges designed for different environments, the pacing varies from stage to stage, keeping the experience fresh and engaging.

This is my very first published game, refined from a small project I made during my undergraduate years. At first, it was just a simple idea, but after letting friends playtest it, their positive feedback gave me the motivation to continue developing.
The game draws inspiration from traditional Japanese culture and the aesthetics of manga art, with a design philosophy rooted in Japanese minimalism.
The challenges are intuitive, yet players will find themselves hooked, discovering a true sense of accomplishment as they overcome each panel of this comic-style adventure. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
