To start, tap the screen when the meter on the top of the screen is in the middle, and the fat ninja will be flung farther. You don\u2019t really have much control over your ninja after that, but he\u2019ll bounce on the ground for a little while, and you can use a special lighting attack with a tap on the screen to give him an extra boost. As he flies and bounces, the fat ninja will hit running critters that look like rice balls. Certain rice balls can help him bounce higher. When you can\u2019t bounce anymore, you can play again to try and beat your score, or go to the shop with rice you\u2019ve collected from bouncing on the rice ball people to buy upgrades so you can go farther next time.<\/p>\n<p>When you go to the shop, you can buy upgrades using rice that you\u2019ve collected while playing. These upgrades include higher chances that you\u2019ll see rice balls holding dynamite or other power-ups to help you go farther, better slingshots, more lightning attacks, and a stronger ninja for breaking through the giant rice pillar people you\u2019ll find every so often if you fly far enough. Unfortunately, as most free-to-play games go, the really good stuff you can buy takes real money. I can\u2019t see this game holding anyone\u2019s interest for very long, but if you enjoy short and quick mobile games like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/2012\/12\/05\/jetpack-joyride-ps-minis\/\"><strong>Jetpack Joyride<\/strong><\/a>, you may want to give this one a chance anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=9067\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9067\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9067\" alt=\"NINJA_SCREEN\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/NINJA_SCREEN.jpg\" width=\"502\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/NINJA_SCREEN.jpg 502w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/NINJA_SCREEN-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/NINJA_SCREEN-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think Ninja Toss is rated by the ESRB, but I\u2019d be OK with any age playing this.

Violence is pretty minimal, as your ninja just bounces along on the ground and into dynamite, but still remains unharmed.
