Shadow Stick Ninja
Mission briefing
Shadowstick Ninja is a physics puzzle game with a dark, minimalist style. In this game, precision is more important than speed. You play as a silent shadow ninja with only a few arrows. In each level, enemy ninjas hide behind obstacles and structures, waiting for you to take them out. Your goal is to eliminate every enemy. The way you do it is up to you! Pull back, aim, and release to shoot arrows with the right trajectory. Pick from different arrow types and solve each level your own way: - Regular arrows for clean, direct hits - Bomb arrows to cause explosive area damage and break through obstacles - Balloon arrows that attach to enemies and lift them into the air, exposing them for easier shots There isn’t just one right answer. You can play smart and efficient, or try out new ideas and experiment as much as you want. Lift an enemy into the air with balloons. Use lots of bombs just to see what happens. Try odd angles, mix up different moves, or come up with wild solutions. Every arrow counts. If you run out of ammo, you’ll need to rethink your strategy and give it another shot. Plan your moves, try bold ideas, and enjoy every physics-based takedown.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.
