Little Ninja Dash: hold, aim, dash.
Little Ninja Dash is an HTML5 action platformer template with full source code. The player holds anywhere on the screen to slow time, pulls back like a slingshot and releases to dash through the stage. The edition has 51 stages in 5 worlds, a boss at the end of each world, 14 interface languages, a recorded narrator and a game folder ready to host, with readable TypeScript source and tests.
51 stages, 5 worlds, 5 bosses
Cross a cherry garden, a frozen pass, a lava forge, the clouds and the red fortress. Stages grow from short lessons to long runs with checkpoints, and each world ends with a boss that takes several hits. There are 13 enemy types, from spear guards and archers to shield bearers, bomb throwers, kites and drummers, plus chests, breakable crates, ice blocks and rocks that knock over whoever stands behind them.
One gesture, lots of depth
Hold, pull back, release: the same gesture works with mouse and touch. Time slows while you aim and a guide shows where you will land. Hold again in mid-air to change direction, chain hits for combos and speed, and throw shurikens with the keyboard or the on-screen button. A short tutorial teaches it in the first stage, and an assist option makes launches easier.
Stars, medals, outfits and weapons
Every stage has 3 stars and 3 medals: all stars, no deaths and a time under par. Stars unlock 10 outfits; points buy 6 weapons, five of them with a special power. An opening story and an ending frame the campaign, and a result screen with grades rewards clean runs.
14 languages and a recorded narrator
The interface is translated into 14 languages and follows the browser language on first start. An English arena narrator calls combos and big moments in every language, over 7 music tracks. Music, sounds and narrator have their own volume, and Options include graphics quality, less motion and a choice of blood or ink.
Your game, your hosting
Upload the contents of the game folder to static HTTP(S) hosting and open it. It needs no database, PHP, account or server, and normal play makes no requests outside your folder. Change the save key and the optional ad settings in ninja.config.js without rebuilding. The package includes the editable TypeScript source with tests and an illustrated offline guide in 14 languages.
Optional ads, your provider
Ads are off and no ad network is bundled. A documented hook lets you plug in your own provider for interstitials between stages and two optional rewarded placements (double the points, revive at the last safe spot). The game pauses and mutes during an ad and never grants a reward unless the ad really finished.
What this edition does not include
Native apps, hosting and custom development are not included, nor online ranking, cloud saves, real-money purchases or a bundled ad network.
Who this template is for
Game portals and website owners who want a polished action game, studios and freelancers who need a base for a branded game, and developers who want to study a readable Canvas 2D game with physics, effects and a level builder.
