About the Game

Origami Ninja Star is a chaotic hybrid of fast paced platforming and momentum-based combat where YOU are the weapon. In this roguelite action game, follow the adventures of a fiery young paper star who is determined to become the greatest ninja. Slice into an ever-changing 3D paper world, destroying friends and enemies along the way!



Born in a peaceful origami village, play as a young star determined to create new enemies and tear them apart to prove themself the greatest Origami Ninja Star. As the self-appointed protector of your village, use your unfolding technique to switch between a nimble paper ball and a deadly paper star. Harness momentum as the Ball to traverse and ricochet through levels, then unleash it as the Star to strike enemies with precision.

You are the weapon

Slice through your foes swiftly with fluid momentum-based combat. String together a deadly combination of rebounds, wall-climbs and shuriken strikes, with an arsenal of unique elemental powers to unleash on your enemies. Prove yourself the greatest against foes across every village.

Wield the Elements

Starting with a base set of combat and traversal abilities, enhance these through elemental upgrades found on each run. Unleash an exploding fire strike, wind shockwaves, lightning dash, and more. Combine these to face increasingly diverse and dangerous enemies each with their own fighting style.

Unique origami world

Enjoy every fold and scrunch of the paper world, each element inspired by real life origami art. Explore the woods, the clan dojos, city streets, and more in procedurally generated levels. Each run is unique in terms of visuals, enemies and upgrades. Meet characters, defeat enemies and face epic boss fights of all origami shapes and sizes.
