ABOUT THIS GAME
Ninjamboree is a chaotic online party‑PvP arena where four players compete to see who can collect the most treasures. Each round, one player becomes the Ninja, racing through a retro‑inspired level packed with traps, puzzles, and neutral monsters. The other three players become super monsters, teaming up to stop the Ninja’s run.
It’s fast but smart. It’s silly but fair. It’s competitive without being too serious. It's a Ninjamboree.
How It Works
Step 1 - Launch the game
Step 2 - Find a match (queue with three friends in a Private Lobby or solo queue in a Public Lobby)
Step 3 - Let the chaos begin
We start in the selection screen. For Round One, Stage One, P1 will be the ninja and select a Super to carry with them into the level. P2, P3, and P4 will select which monster to be as well as which area they will hide in.
The level begins! The ninja player traverses the level, fighting neutral monsters, avoiding traps, solving (simple) puzzles en route to collecting as many treasures as they can. The monster players lurk, ambush, and attack to stop them.
When the Ninja reaches the end (or dies trying), their treasure is recorded. Then the roles rotate — P2 becomes the Ninja, and the cycle repeats.
A full match (approximately 30 minutes) consists of five stages:
Standard level
Standard level
A chaotic Halftime twist
Standard level
A climactic Boss Fight
After everyone has played each of the five levels as the Ninja, the player with the most treasure wins!
Matches are chaotic, punchy, and will leave you smiling for more.

What You're Getting With Early Access
Ninjamboree is fully playable and already a blast. You’ll find:
8 unique Supers
8 playable monsters
A complete match loop
Private lobbies
Public matchmaking
A solid foundation that’s fun today
But the game is not finished — and that’s where we need your help.
Things we expect to improve during our time in Early Access:
Online matchmaking: Public matchmaking is largely untested and will almost certainly may buckle under stress
Balance: Supers and monsters will evolve as players discover strong or broken strategies
Meta exploits: Levels, traps, and mechanics may shift as cheesy strats emerge
Quality‑of‑life: Settings, UI polish, and usability improvements are ongoing
Visual updates: Steam assets, title screen, and menus are currently mostly entirely made up of placeholders
The game is here and it works and it's fun. What it needs now is a community to drive the polish. If you have the patience to endure some lopsided matches and can report a bug or two, welcome to the jamboree.
