Our take on Ninja Monkey
Automatic attacks shift the main challenge toward platforming: jumping, running, dodging hazards, and positioning the ninja monkey while enemy waves and bosses arrive.
What is Ninja Monkey?
Ninja Monkey is a roguelike platformer built around repeated battles against waves of bees.
Each round presents three upgrade choices that shape the ninja monkey’s build for the challenges ahead. Automatic attacks let the player focus on movement: jumping, running, dodging hazards, and positioning during side-scrolling fights. Boss encounters require quick reflexes and strategic decisions, while victories can reveal rewards and secrets. The game includes multiple maps with distinct environments, and each map contains 100 rounds with rising difficulty and varied enemies. Progression also includes unlockable classes, weapons, abilities, and upgrades, allowing different combinations across runs.
