## What is Ninja Knife Dodge?

Ninja Knife Dodge is four games in one - the Four Trials of the Star Dojo - plus Star Cricket in the Yard, told as a story you unlock chapter by chapter.

Sensei Kuro, last master of the Star Dojo, trains a fallen star. Each chapter is its own game with a seal you earn by mastering it, every chapter opens with a short animated film and closes with one when its seal is yours, and a seal opens the next chapter. Earn all four to unlock the epilogue.

THE FOUR TRIALS
- Knife Dodge (Chapter I, the Blade): one-touch reflex survival. Tap to propel your star away from the daggers of light and outlast escalating waves.
- Quick Draw (Chapter II, the Eye): the real shuriken hides among the copies. Spot it and tap before the decoys fool you.
- Shuriken Match (Chapter III, the Mind): a 50-level match-three campaign with a level map, hints, power-ups and level skips.
- Sensei Says (Chapter IV, the Name): watch the pads light up, then repeat the sequence. Hold the roll as it grows.

THE YARD
- Star Cricket: time your shot against the dojo's bowler and chase fifty runs.

ALSO
- Thirteen short animated films: a prologue, a film to open and to close every chapter, the turn and the epilogue, all replayable from the Story journal
- Sensei Kuro and Pip, your guides, celebrate every seal you earn
- Sign in with Apple backs up your seals, chapters and best scores to your account after every round, so they follow you to a new device; delete the account any time from Settings
- Local leaderboards with lifetime stats and titles
- Short rounds and instant restarts - perfect for one more try
- Plays in landscape on iPhone and iPad
- Optional rewarded videos let you earn boosters, and a short ad may play between rounds

### 2.3 — 2026-09-10

THE FOUR TRIALS

The dojo now has a path through it: a prologue, four trials, an interlude in the Yard, the turn, and an ending. Every chapter opens with its own cinematic, and earning a seal unlocks the next one. The journal keeps every film so you can watch them again.

THE LOOP ROOM
Make your own music. Twenty tunes - drums, bass, pads, koto, rain - that all keep the same time, so any of them can be layered together and it still works. Keep your mix and it plays behind the whole game.

NEW MUSIC
Three calm Japanese pieces to pick from in Settings, alongside the original tracks and your own mix. Everything is quieter and easier on the ears than before.

SIGN IN WITH APPLE
Your ninja name, seals, scores and boosters back up to your account and follow you to a new device. You can delete the account from Settings at any time.

GAME CENTER
Five leaderboards, one for each game.

FIXED
A crash when tapping quickly during a story cinematic.
