Time your attacks against red ninjas. Consistently tapping attack will not always work.

• Slash through red ninjas; you cannot jump over them. They will chop you if you move past them. Red ninjas also will always be standing still, forcing you to approach them.
• Jump over blue ninjas. Blue ninjas will be actively run towards you. Harming a blue ninja will end the game. If you try to run past them, it will force a collision that kills you both.

• Learn how to time your jumps to survive. You can also use double jumps to correct a mistimed jump.
• Watch the right side of the screen to learn which type of platforms are approaching. The very narrow platforms will require earlier jumps to navigate.
• When landing a jump, you will not be able to attack momentarily. Give yourself enough space between your landing location and any upcoming enemies so you can recover from the jump.
