The Story

Our Ning has been captured and imprisoned in Trad World. To escape, he needs to open as many chests as possible without getting killed by the army of ninjas guarding this labyrinthine dungeon. Each enemy can attack Ning with his sword - and will not hesitate to do so.

Objective

The objective of the game is to achieve the best score possible (maximum 255 points).

Gameplay

A point is obtained each time you open a chest. To open a chest, you must find its key. Once carrying the key, moving over a chest will open it.

Both chests and keys are placed randomly throughout Trad World each time you play the game. There are 30 rooms in total. All are connected but there are some dead ends too.

Each room also contains a ninja. There are two different types of state a ninja may be in. The first is "not detected" and the second is "detected". When you have been detected, the ninja will chase after you and hit you with his sword. This causes health damage (You have three lives; each hit takes out half of one of them!).

You can either attempt to dodge the ninja's sword or fight back.

The game ends when your lives are depleted to zero.
