The Lost Scrolls is the first chapter in the “Three Foot Ninja” series of free flash games. For those who are not so familiar with this game, the three foot ninja is the main character in the free online ninja game that bears his name. This online ninja game developed by Denni Ames, is probably the most popular online ninja game of all time. The flash application is several years old since it was first seen on the web, and its popularity is still as recent as it was at first.
One of the aspects of 3 Foot Ninja that made it such a popular ninja game is the simplicity of the game. For starters, there are no lengthy instruction manuals to learn, no complicated set of controls to master – in fact, the game doesn’t even have a help menu. All instructions required by the player are given at the beginning of the game after pressing start. The instruction screen will simply inform you of the attack keys A to swing the sword, S to throw stars, and D to hit the sword. For movement there are the good old arrow keys, the up key to jump and the down key to crouch. It won’t take you more than a minute to learn them and start playing.
Once the player has finished with the controls screen, they are taken to a short introduction to the game’s plot. Your character, the 3 foot Ninja, is on a quest where he will face many obstacles and many enemies, and must use the power of his swords to stay alive. On this journey you are asked to find the five scrolls of the elders. All five must be collected to win the game.
There are three levels of difficulty in this online ninja game. When the game starts, you are dropped into a kind of village setting, with your sword in attack position. There is a detailed menu containing your health stats, the number of stars left in stock, the number of scrolls collected, and your opponent’s health level. Each round will present the player with an opponent, and each one will be more difficult than the last. Even in situations of easy difficulty, a beginner will have a difficult time taking on his ninja opponents. It will take a few tries to master it and get used to the controls. The player will also have to work on some kind of strategy in order to get out of difficult situations. Moves like pressing the right arrow key and the up arrow key will cause your character to jump on the enemy, but these are moves that you will need to learn on your own as they are not included in the instructions.
This online ninja game is completely free to play on hundreds of arcade game websites all over the web. It is quite addictive, some will find themselves playing this game for hours and being able to let go of the computer.
