About the Game

What is NINDO:

NINDO is a high-speed ninja game that challenges players to compete in speed and accuracy. Ninjas quickly chant the appropriate ninjutsu to overcome various difficulties. Daily training is essential for survival on the battlefield. Let's work hard together to aim for becoming top-tier ninjas!

Game Overview:

Players rapidly input one of six hand seals: Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, Shadow, and Thunder to activate ninjutsu and aim for the highest score within a time limit. The ninjutsu activated through combinations of hand seals vary widely, and each successful activation grants points and triggers unique support effects specific to that ninjutsu.

Game Flow:

  • Deciding the Ninjutsu: The ninjutsu to be performed is randomly selected based on a draw. The selection table changes according to the current level, with beginner-level ninjutsu chosen at the start. As the game progresses and the level increases, higher-level ninjutsu will be selected.

  • Inputting the Hand Seals: Each ninjutsu has predefined hand seals required for chanting. Players must input these seals in order, and the ninjutsu is successfully activated upon completing the last seal.

  • Chanting the Ninjutsu: When the ninjutsu is activated, players earn points. At this time, the additional effects predetermined for each ninjutsu will activate. These effects last for a certain period and can increase the score or extend the playtime.

  • Game End: Steps 1 to 3 are repeated, and the game ends when the time limit reaches zero.

How to Increase Your Score:

Players can improve their score by memorizing the necessary hand seals for each ninjutsu, allowing for faster inputs.

The Thoughts Behind NINDO:

This game is a ninja experience game dedicated to all the boys and girls who admire ninjas. I hope that by forming hand seals in the game, players can also practice forming the seals of Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, Shadow, and Thunder in the real world to enhance their focus and cultivate the "heart of a ninja." That would bring me great joy.
