Ninja Chowdown is a fun, fast-paced arcade game about a skilled, heavyweight ninja who absolutely loves donuts. He completes goals by chasing down villains and fighting off other ninjas. The game really plays a lot like an endless runner as you're constantly on the move.

You will not only be running and jumping, but you can attack as well. So basically you'll be doing some double duty while you run. It's a colorful, classic kind of game that has a modern flair to it, and it was featured on one of LaunchPad events from 2020.

It's a wonderfully unique take on the endless runner genre that is overall pretty addicting to play. In this article, we'll give you a few basic tips to keep in mind as you run, jump and roll (yes, roll) your way to victory in each level of the story.

Fire Your Weapon Often

One of the fun aspects of Ninja Chowdown is the attacking abilities. With the game being an endless runner, mixing the pace of the game with the attacks adds to the fun. You start out with some stars that you can fire at enemies during your donut runs.

Enemy ninjas will pop up at random as you go so make sure to spam that attack button. It can seem kind of tricky at first because you're jumping and firing at the same time most of the time. But it won't take long before you get used to being simultaneous.

The game's controls are easy enough and comfortable enough to where you can balance things a bit. It helps that you're running autonomously so you don't have to worry about that aspect. So attack away, you sweet tooth ninja you.

Snag Those Donuts

You get dropped into the world of Ninja Chowdown so fast, that you might not realize the importance of certain things such as donuts. You'll see the beloved treats floating about during your runs. It's not totally clear at first as the purpose of grabbing the donuts, except for the fact that our hero loves them. 

But, you'll notice that the more you grab and eat, the more weight you gain. Initially, this might concern you as you think it'll slow your speed down. But or ninja friend is too skilled to lose his swiftness, despite being as goofy and clumsy as he can be. 

But, but grabbing enough donuts, you'll turn into a giant ball, where you'll hilariously roll and pick up speed, destroying anything that gets in your way. It's a unique super ability to have that can make completing levels a breeze at the right times. So in short, eat up and roll away. 

Practice Your Aim

Going back to throwing stars, a thing that helps make the combat both fun and maybe even a bit challenging is when you need to aim. It's important to keep firing away with the stars, but it's good to keep an eye out for the skies as well. 

On occasion, you might see foes in the sky. You will have the ability to direct your shots in different directions, including upwards. It takes a tad bit of precision, but it won't be too hard. Really, the hardest thing about playing Ninja Chowdown is that you have one life per level. 

Thankfully, it doesn't take too long to get through each of them, especially considering how fast-paced things are. But working on your aim can really make you a master of the art of donut eating...I mean, of being a true ninja.
