- Great for passing time and provides a quick adrenaline rush.

The gameplay of the game is a unique blend of platforming and runner mechanics, requiring players to adapt to constantly changing levels. While some find the gameplay challenging due to the need for memorization and precise timing, others appreciate its fresh and hectic approach, distinguishing it from traditional retro platformers.
“The original platformer combined with a runner - you keep switching the gameplay through levels.”
“The retro similarities end there, though, as 'Hyperactive Ninja' has an entirely unique and hectic mechanic that makes it a fresh and modern platforming experience.”
“Gameplay is pretty bad in a new way that I haven't seen before. Since the hyperdrive gimmick turns the game into a runner, it entails memorizing level layouts and knowing exactly where to stand before activating your hyperdrive, lest you head off in the wrong direction or over the side of a ledge.”

The story of *Super Hyperactive Ninja* is heavily inspired by the classic *Mega Man* series, featuring a nostalgic opening and set in the year "15xx," which will resonate with fans of the iconic franchise.
“If the cut-scenes are any indication, [i]Super Hyperactive Ninja[/i] draws a large part of its inspiration from the iconic [i]Mega Man[/i] series, at least in its story and presentation, with a story centered in the year '15xx' and a nostalgic opening that should be familiar to any fans of the blue bomber.”
