Neon Rooftop
A flat roof above the city at dusk: water tanks, vents and a long way down.
One hit. One life. Last blade standing.
A top-down arena for up to eight ninjas. Every blow kills, four skills are all you have, and the first to 5 rounds takes the match.

A roof at dusk. A courtyard at the shrine.
Shrine Courtyard
Stone lanterns and a small shrine inside the castle walls, late in the afternoon.
Online
Three ways to fight. Two ladders to climb.
Online play takes a free account: one name, one avatar, a rating for each ranked ladder. Practice against bots needs nothing at all.

Casual
Free-for-all · 2-8 ninjas
