🥷 NINJA TIPS
- Block, then punish. Crouch-block a samurai's swing, then jab (D) while he recovers.
- Flip through danger. Jump + direction in mid-air gives you invincibility frames — flip through enemies and projectiles.
- Shurikens outrange everything. Imps and archers die before they can touch you.
- Wolves flash red before they dash — jump the moment you see it.
- Save orbs for bosses. An energy burst (E) during a boss's wind-up deals huge damage safely.
- Explore upward. Stars love high platforms. If a platform looks reachable, it probably hides something.
- Potions and health carry between levels — finish a level healthy and the next one starts easier.
