Shadow Ninja

Original ninja action-platformer · Free browser play · Mobile & desktop

Shadow Ninja is an original ninja action-platformer in development at GameNinja: wall-jumps, dash strikes, and shuriken throws across moonlit rooftops, built mobile-first for free browser play.

What Shadow Ninja will be

Shadow Ninja is GameNinja's next original game: a fast side-scrolling ninja platformer in the spirit of the Flash-era action games this site was known for. You run rooftops under a moonlit skyline, chain wall-jumps between towers, dash through paper screens, and clear guard patrols with well-timed shuriken throws.

The game is in active development and this page is its home. It is built with Phaser for mobile-first browser play: touch controls are the primary input, with full keyboard support on desktop. No download, no install, free to play in the browser like every GameNinja title.

While you wait, the arcade is open: the Super Mario NES and SNES collection, Gold Miner, Taco Joe, daily word puzzles, and 100-question trivia are all playable now. Check back, or leave a comment below with what you want to see in a ninja game.
