Shinobi Road

Nine stages from blossom road to vampire gate

Shinobi Road is a compact pixel-art platformer divided into three acts and nine levels. Each act ends with a boss whose movement power becomes yours: the ogre grants a dash, the skeleton grants a double jump, and the vampire waits at the final gate.

The route mixes bells that swap red and blue blocks, bamboo that can be cut into bridges, shadow spirits, blades, updrafts, stone crushers, timed gates, and 22 hidden spirit orbs.

Movement and cutting share the same rhythm

Use the arrow keys to move, Z to jump and wall-jump, X to cut, and C to dash after the ability is earned. Hold Up or Down while cutting to aim vertically. On phones, on-screen buttons replace the keys and CUT or DASH can be dragged to aim.

The opening Flower Road attempt responded to rightward movement, jumping, and cutting at the first spike gap. The visible attempt and orb counters make exploration and retries easy to read from the start.
