Ninja is a side scroller game where you control a ninja who fights his way through a building.
Tiny characters. It's cute how, as in Kung-Fu Master, when you strike most opponents they diagonally fly off the screen.
As in Stickman!!! Die, a wide range of attacks; the stronger attacks totally obviate the weaker ones. All you need to use, really, is the laser.
It picks up when you find the shuriken. Level two is way more interesting, with the cityscape. The clipping is a bit weird, with buildings not always solid where it seems like they should be, and solid where it seems like they shouldn't. Complicates leaping from roof to roof, which otherwise would seem like a secondary path or a strategic technique.
As with navigation, combat involves no strategy to speak of. Enemies don't have particular attack patterns; they're just tossed at the player en masse, to overwhelm.
Nestoly has this thing about only attacking to the right...
