Getting started with Ninja Challenge

Overview

Ninja Challenge is primarily a platformer game that features a variety of platformer challenges to overcome and secure the win. Following the format of American Ninja Warrior, this game gives you 60 seconds to try to clear the challenge and reach the end.

The course includes a myriad of obstacle types, which can be conquered through a combination of simplistic controls and good timing. It is particularly focused on the timing aspect, which makes clearing these challenges a matter of skill over anything else. If you mistime a button press, you will fall into the water below, teleporting back to the stands.

Being eliminated ends the round and depending on the progress, you are placed on the leaderboard. The Robloxian who progresses the farthest will receive the top spot on the podium, with the second and third placeholders standing alongside them.

Gameplay mechanics

• Parkour-Focused Experience: The game is all about parkouring your way across the obstacle course. Each course is fairly linear, presenting them in a straight line one after another. Clearing a particular obstacle is accompanied by positive reinforcement from the in-game commentators and a brief fireworks show. Your objective is to try to reach the end before the 60-second timer runs out.
• Multiplayer: The multiplayer mode is the way the game is meant to be played, pitting players against each other in a test to see who prevails. This mode has players take turns while attempting to clear the stages, after which the winner is decided. Winners receive more in-game Cash than those who finish up last.
• Solo Mode: If you wish, you can complete the game solo as well. This mode reduces the downtime between turns, allowing you to continue immediately after a failed attempt, and because of this, it is also the easiest way to unlock all stages.
• Stages: Currently, there are four Stages in the game: Qualifiers, Semi-Finals, Stage 1, and Stage 2. Apart from Qualifiers, which is available by default, every stage can be unlocked by clearing the one preceding it.
• In-game Shop: You can spend the Cash you earn by completing stages to purchase Win Sounds, Emotes, Trails, and Ranks. Furthermore, you can spend Robux to buy more Cash, giving you easy access to every customization item. Note that none of the items present in the Shop offer any gameplay benefits. They are strictly cosmetic and exist to add more flavor to the game.
