Ninja Rush is a classic shooter game where the player kills enemies to pass through levels. To complete a level, the player must not get killed by falling, getting hit by a ninja star, or hit by a ninja. As levels progress, the story and gameplay become more complex, with new chapters starting every five levels featuring a boss battle. Each chapter increases difficulty with more enemies, but also allows the player to collect more points for upgrades. Additionally, the game includes an endless runner mode where the player aims to score highest without dying in continuously running levels.

1. Gameplay concepts:
Ninja Rush is a classic shooter orientated game. The player engages
with gameplay such as killing or defeating enemies to pass though
the level and collect points. Once the player passes through the level
without getting killed or dying they will complete the current level
and pass through to the next one. Certain ways of dying include,
falling off a platform, getting hit by a ninja star or getting hit by a
ninja. Gameplay methods allow you to jump over platforms and
shoot ninjas to proceed through the level.
As the player proceeds through each level the storyline becomes
more complex and the gameplay elements change. Every five level a
new chapter begins where the player must face a ‘Boss’ at the end of
the fifth level. After defeating the ‘boss’ they proceed to the new
chapter in which the player 1 character Agent Slick is in a new
setting. Each chapter the gameplay gets slightly harder as more
ninjas/ enemies appear making it harder to pass through the level
but also allowing the player to collect more points to then gain
upgrades for upcoming levels.
Platform Specific concepts:
A unique feature of the game is that as well as playing through levels
there is certain feature that allows the player to engage in a ‘endless
runner mode’ where you can aim to gain the highest score without
being defeated or dying. This certain mode is similar to the original
gameplay but there is no end to the level giving it an endless runner
theme.
