Ninja Run is one of the arcade games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. You will understand Ninja Run in about ten seconds and still be improving at it a week later. That is the arcade formula done right. A few things the tags reveal: timing your jumps is the main mechanic; the content and difficulty are tuned for younger players; it has touch controls and layouts made for phones and tablets.

Tips and tricks
- Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- 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.
- Because this is a Mobile game, turn on rotation lock so the screen does not flip mid-game.
