Mononinja
About this game
Mononinja is a black-and-white pixel platformer with a single button. Your ninja runs on his own, and all you decide is when to jump and how high. Hold the button longer for a higher jump and tap it for a short hop; there is nothing else to press.
That one control is put to work across more than 30 levels of spikes, gaps and awkward ledges, where a jump that is slightly too long is as deadly as one that is too short. Levels are short, so a mistake sends you back only a few seconds, and you quickly learn the exact rhythm each section needs.
Tips
- Practise the difference between a tap and a full hold on the first level; the whole game depends on it.
- When you die in the same place twice, change how long you hold, not when you press.
- Look at where the next platform is before you leave the current one.
