MangaNinja
A downloadable game for Windows
🎮 Manga Ninja
A platformer without a jump button.
In Manga Ninja, you cannot jump.
Instead, you throw a shuriken into the air, create a grappling point, and pull yourself toward it.
Every movement is deliberate.
Every mistake is visible.
Every success feels earned.
🥷 Core Gameplay
-
No jump key — only shuriken grappling
-
Precise mid-air movement
-
Skill-based platforming
-
Easy to understand, hard to master
You must read the space, predict your arc, and commit.
🎨 Visual Style
All stages are framed like manga panels.
Inspired by Japanese aesthetics and minimalist design, each environment offers a different rhythm:
-
Dojo
-
Bamboo Forest
-
Canal
-
Cave
-
Castle Rooftop
-
Lantern Festival
Each scene brings new traps and pacing.
👤 About the Developer
This is my first game project.
It started during my undergraduate years as a small idea —
"What if a platformer had no jump button?"
After friends tested it and kept retrying “just one more time,”
I decided to polish it and bring it to release.
The journey of building it has been as important as finishing it.
🎮 If You Enjoy:

-
Grappling hook mechanics
-
