Four ninjas, one couch, many explosions
Local co-op supports up to 4 players, and local competitive does too. You and your co-op friends run, jump, and slide through small sci-fi rooms full of mines, missiles, lasers, and homicidal robots, grabbing gold and heading for the exit. Timing matters more than teamwork speeches: one ninja trips a missile turret and everyone pays for it. Expect constant revives, stolen gold, and blaming the person holding the controller next to you.
Momentum that punishes and rewards
Movement is the whole game. You build speed by running, sloping jumps, and chaining wall jumps, then try to keep it under control around sharp corners and patrolling enemies. Levels are short and hand-made, so a round lasts seconds before someone explodes and you restart. With thousands of levels, a level editor with global sharing, leaderboards, and replays, there is always another layout to test your reflexes on.
How does co-op work?
Can you play co-op with friends?
Yes, in local co-op for up to 4 players on the same screen. There is no online co-op, so everyone needs to be in the same room or use Steam game sharing. It is built for quick retries: run a level, explode, laugh, restart.
Can you compete against each other too?
Yes. A separate local competitive mode also supports up to 4 players. Same minimalist rooms, same momentum movement, but now the goal is beating your friends to gold and the exit instead of surviving together.
Can you play it solo?
Yes. There is a lengthy single-player campaign plus a hardcore mode for solo ninjas, along with secret challenges to find. You can pick episodes in any order, skip a hard set, and come back later when your wall jumps behave.
What can you change about how it looks and sounds?
A lot. There are 125 color palettes to unlock through play, which recolor the minimalist levels, and 63 electronic tracks behind the action. If the gold gets hard to spot on one scheme, switch to another.
