Free Adventure Game For Windows 8: Ninja Land

Ninja Land is a free adventure game for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 devices. In the game, you play as a ninja who has to defeat the other ninjas in the game. The gameplay is based on climbing on platforms and shooting other ninjas who will try to shoot at you and kill you. The ninjas in the game throw shurikens (or throwing stars) at you, and you have to dodge them. Touching a shuriken or jumping on a ninja will result in instant death, and your score upto that point will be recorded. The game has on screen controls, and also supports keyboard controls. You can use the up arrow to jump, and the left and right arrows for movement. To shoot a shuriken at an enemy ninja, you have to click on the on screen shoot button using your mouse, so basically on non touch devices, it takes a coordination of keyboard and mouse to play successfully and get a high score. On touch screen devices, multi touch is supported, and you can simply use the on screen buttons to play the game.

Ninja Land is an extremely lightweight game, and has been coded specifically to run smoothly on all Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 devices. It is available for free from the Windows App Store.
