If you’re a fan of the popular game NinJump or maybe just any game with Ninjas running around and competing, then this iteration of the original game may just be up your alley. Ninjump Dash is not just a racing game but one where you actually get to compete in real time with other people you may or may not know. And you get to do this while in costume and with weapons, albeit digitally.
The goal of the game is, of course, to win the race between you and three other “real” people. It could be your Facebook friends who are also playing the game, or it can be any random people who are also looking forward to their ninja beating your ninja. All this happens in real time so it’s more fun. And it’s not like you’re just running straight ahead. There are obstacles along the way and you yourself can be an obstacle. You can shoot rockets, portals and throwing stars at those who are winning the race, so they will fall back and you will go ahead. You can also slow down the others who are behind you by dropping punch boxes.
And what is racing without costumes and personalized clothing and accessories? You can dress up your ninja in different available themes and costumes, like pirate, robot, female ninja and even a chicken suit (among other crazy things). You also get power-ups to boost your chances of winning. And if all else fails, there’s always the good old technique of trash talking.
If you feel like actually racing against actual people, you can download Ninjump Dash for free from the Google Play Store. But of course with almost every game now, there are in-app purchases available.
