Final Ninja — Play Free Online

Final Ninja is a jump and platform game that runs straight in the browser, with nothing to install. You steer a ninja through the stages with the keyboard, and the mouse handles aiming and menu choices. It is a short-session game: open the page, play a few rounds, and leave whenever you like.

If you came to this site for Doodle Jump, the appeal is similar. Both games are about timing and positioning, and both reward careful movement over frantic button mashing. Final Ninja is a different kind of game from Doodle Jump's endless vertical climb, though, because you control a character directly with the arrow keys or WASD instead of tilting a single jumper left and right.

How to play

On a keyboard, use the arrow keys or WASD to move your ninja. The mouse is used to aim and to select things on screen, so keep one hand near the movement keys and the other on the mouse. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead.

The game does not have a long tutorial, so spend the opening moments finding out how far a jump carries and how quickly your character responds to input. That knowledge is what you will lean on in every later stage.

Tips

• Play the first stage slowly. Learn the jump distance and the timing before you try to go fast.
• Use fullscreen if the game feels small. The button sits under the game window.
• If the game stalls or stops responding, reload the page. It will start again from the beginning.
