About NinjaBeats

The goal of the game is to obtain as many points as possible before reaching the end of the level. You control a small, constantly running ninja that must jump between floor and ceiling platforms to not die and receive minus points. Enemies are flying all around you, leaving coins when taking a few shurikens to the face.

The game can be played in either randomly generated or music based mode.

Controls

• Space: Jump between floor and ceiling
• Mouse: Aim the crosshairs
• Left mouse button: Throw a shuriken
• Left click on buttons to navigate the menus
