Last week, Nintendo Switch players got their very first taste of Ninjala, the all-new morphing ninja gum action game that's already reminding fans of the wonderful Splatoon. If your early matches didn't go quite as well as you'd hoped, this new video should come in very handy indeed.
Shared by the game's developers, it goes over the basic controls you'll need to master, shows you the flow of Ninjala battles, and even takes a quick look at some more advanced techniques. The Ninjala team says that if you study these moves, you’ll be well prepared to triumph over your foes.
The recent open beta seemed to receive a mixed response from its players; the gameplay itself seems to have gone down rather well, but connectivity issues ruined the fun for many. Of course, beta tests are designed to iron out issues just like that one, so we're hopeful that all will be good and ready by the time the game launches.
Speaking of which, the release date is fast approaching. If you're looking forward to playing the full game, make sure to keep an eye out for its Switch eShop launch on 27th May.
Did you try to take part in the open beta? How did you find it? Let us know with a comment.

Haven’t had chance to watch it yet but is one of the tips getting a stable connection?
I spent about ten minutes with the beta.It's one of those games I really wanted to enjoy but...I just didant.Shame.
I'm absolutely willing to look passed any connectivity issues from the beta as long as it's sorted before launch. Hoping it runs smoothly, but if it's even slightly buggy, the community won't stick around to help it grow.
In other words, here's how you Win...jala.
The gameplay looks solid, I'm just not sold yet.
@Wazeddie22 That’s how I thought of the beta too. I really wanted to enjoy this but I didn’t. For me getting into a match was a chore and then once in a match the controls were clunky and not as responsive as I expect for an online multiplayer. Hopefully they get this all ironed out so I may try it later.
I'm really not sure why, but I was expecting the gameplay to be a lot faster than it is. Maybe it's a skill level thing or something like Splatoon, but right now it just feels strangely slow.
Just have to think of the things as samurai swords then everything will be ok. The game looks very colourful and splatoon'ish.
Not quite understanding the luke-warm response in The comments here.
I really started getting the hang of things in the last demo session. Pilfered a few kills where I could, took advantage of some opportunistic drone smashes and ended up winning 3 games in a row at one point
And the fact this is going to be F2P is fine by me. No need to be "sold" on a game that never requires you to spend money. Give it another shot, work out the kinks and if you still don't dig it, move on
Thanks for the tutorial Gungho! Now how about you actually try to make stable servers so people can play the game next time?
@Mamabear Nailed it exactly..I just couldn't be bothered to explain any further lol
I tried the trial and tbh it looks and plays like someone watched someone else play splatoon, wrote it down in gibberish and then gave that to a developer who only made banking apps before.
Well at least that's my opinion of it, I'm going to skip it.
