How to play Face Ninja
- Start by clicking the big play button. Face Ninja loads inside the frame; give it a moment, especially on a slow connection.

- Play the first run purely to learn. Notice the rhythm of the obstacles, then start a fresh run and aim for a clean start.

Tips and tricks
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
- Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
- Because this is a Running game, look at the middle distance rather than right in front of you.
- Because this is a Clicker game, buy the cheapest upgrade that multiplies output rather than the flashiest one.
