About Surf Ninjas

Surf Ninjas adapts a 1993 film into a side scrolling action game. The player controls Johnny McQuinn, a surfer with ninja skills, on a journey from California to the South China Sea to confront Colonel Chi.

Gameplay involves navigating horizontally across levels, where enemies appear at random for combat. A separate action button allows entry into structures. Progression is supported by an inventory system, though it is limited to a single carried item for solving environmental puzzles.
