About the Game

Nine Lives Ninja: Explore lets you take control of a cat (who also happens to be a ninja) as they explore an ancient cave system searching for the Fountain of Kitty Youth - the only way to restore their lost lives. How did the cat become a ninja? Aren't all their lost lives directly due to the dangers of the cave? Fantastic questions! For now let us simply join the intrepid ninja (who also happens to be a cat) and help them reach their goal.

Nine Lives Ninja: Explore is a platformer with metroidvania elements. It features multiple game modes, retro-pixel graphics, tight controls, collectibles, and achievements to uncover.
