number ninjas
Beware, it's the number ninjas, crouching with mathematical problems! A Peter Groeneweg game. (Click 'Level select' to start).
I wish whoever wrote the last comment would enlighten us all because I can't seem to get the game to work either... Not sure if it's just me though still...
I killed the six and turned into a 7 but the equation at the bottom says " 1+6=6" and the button at the end is red so I can't proceed. How does this game work?
when you start level 2: the equation at the bottom says 1=6 you are number 1 the number you need to attack is 6 1(you) attack #6 with * (multiplication) 1*6=6 you need to attack the numbers with the math signs to get the correct answer then you move to the next level. Im currently stuck on level 4 because im not really that great at doing math in my head :\
P.S. what ever number you are, when you attack the next number you turn into the solution of that math problem. for example- 1 attacked 8 with + I turned into 9. the next number I attacked was 2 with - so I turned into 7.
you cant become a number more than 9 or less than 1. If you do the level starts over.
samo for me, lvl 5 seems crazy. can't see how to pick up the figure in the right order ... if you go down to catch the 8 you're stuck but this 8 seems impossible to reach form the top platform (furthermore without killing the 1) !!
hey jaypee guess thats why its called number "ninjas". you can get behind a number when its back is turned to you (you wont be spotted until it faces you, if you jump away right when the exclamation mark shows you'll be safe but it will be pacing faster for a little bit then go back to normal) then jump and shoot towards where 8 is and hopefully you'll hit it without having to go down there.
lol, hey anon (or is it Peter trying to save face on his game?).
the only choice IS to try shooting 8 at random because going down there means a restart... also, the time between "!" and "spotted" is miniscule anyways.... the difficulty is WAYYYY too ramped for the 5th level in...
at 17 seconds, the 1 should be hitting the corner and turning. jump across, jump straight up, and launch a *... you should hit 8. then quickly jump back across and hit 1 with a - safely across the gap... :)
use "c" to look around and watch the clock....
ninja??? nope! crafty? yup! ;)
shame on me for killing so much time though... lol
I got past level 5 but now the next level isn't loading. A shame, the idea for this game is REALLY good. But the maker somehow managed to absolutely ruin it.
I am stick at level 11 :( Why the hell it's so hard, cant get an 8 when I got 6 and a - a / and a X and 3, 2 and 1 ... I found a way to grab -, / and X without alerting the numbers but I dont know which one to hit first, second and third and with which attack :(
to shoot nr 3, don't shoot from the ground or mid air, something in between. I know that sounds hard, but that's how I got it. It will need some practice though. Hope that helps :)
First again!!
ReplyDeleteI still hate myself.
Second :)
ReplyDeleteOK, either it's not loading or I am dense. I am hoping the former. Did anybody play this yet?
It's "not loading" for me either, so I'm beginng to suspect this might be the game...we shall see.
ReplyDeleteanyone figure this out? it doesnt appear to be working
ReplyDeleteclever!
ReplyDeleteI wish whoever wrote the last comment would enlighten us all because I can't seem to get the game to work either... Not sure if it's just me though still...
ReplyDeleteI kill number 6... become number 7 and can't get passed the level :S
ReplyDeletehow do you start the game?
ReplyDeleteaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrggghh!
ReplyDeletenot helpful but accurate.
You need to click 'Level select' to start!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing to click!
ReplyDeleteYou are all right-It does nothing for me,too.
ReplyDeleteNot loading. Just an empty progress bar.
ReplyDeleteJust hit the refresh button and you're good to go...
ReplyDeleteRefreshed it about 20 times, and there's still just this empty bar.
ReplyDelete???
Empty progress bar in Safari. Works fine in Firefox.
ReplyDeletei dont get how 1*9=3
ReplyDelete???
to anonymous:
ReplyDeleteI kill number 6... become number 7 and can't get passed the level :S
-you pass the level when you get the green light at the end. I'm stuck on level 3.
Level 3 solution:
ReplyDelete1*9/9*3=3
@ qwerty : how'd you get past level 2? 1 kills 6, turns into 7 but the math equation is 1+6=6 and the light does not turn green. What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteI killed the six and turned into a 7 but the equation at the bottom says "
ReplyDelete1+6=6" and the button at the end is red so I can't proceed.
How does this game work?
when you start level 2:
ReplyDeletethe equation at the bottom says
1=6
you are number 1
the number you need to attack is 6
1(you)
attack #6 with * (multiplication)
1*6=6
you need to attack the numbers with the math signs to get the correct answer then you move to the next level.
Im currently stuck on level 4 because im not really that great at doing math in my head :\
P.S. what ever number you are, when you attack the next number you turn into the solution of that math problem.
ReplyDeletefor example- 1 attacked 8 with +
I turned into 9. the next number I attacked was 2 with -
so I turned into 7.
you cant become a number more than 9 or less than 1. If you do the level starts over.
Level 4:
ReplyDelete1=9 at bottom of screen
I start as 1
I confront 8, 2, 6, 4 in that order
I need to end up as 9.
Does that make sense?
Level 4 solution:
ReplyDelete1+8-6+2+4=9 yay!!
on this one you have to go to the upper level to subtract 6 but dont get spotted by 2!
Thank you qwerty - I was trying to use the keypad 1,2,3,4 and that doesn't work. Only the numbers on top of the keyboard! Gotcha!
ReplyDeleteBart! Good GOD man! Why did you post this nightmare?! Level 5 is ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteI've figured that 1*8-1-5=2 but you'd have to jumped 1 twice and somehow shoot 8 in between jumps?!
YARRRGGGHHH!!!! FOO!
If someone else figured out the smart way to do this please help!!!!
samo for me, lvl 5 seems crazy.
ReplyDeletecan't see how to pick up the figure in the right order ...
if you go down to catch the 8 you're stuck but this 8 seems impossible to reach form the top platform (furthermore without killing the 1) !!
OK - in level 4 I am a 9 but I can't find the end line...
ReplyDeletenot workink ??? !!!!
ReplyDeletehey jaypee
ReplyDeleteguess thats why its called number "ninjas". you can get behind a number when its back is turned to you (you wont be spotted until it faces you, if you jump away right when the exclamation mark shows you'll be safe but it will be pacing faster for a little bit then go back to normal) then jump and shoot towards where 8 is and hopefully you'll hit it without having to go down there.

ReplyDeletethe only choice IS to try shooting 8 at random because going down there means a restart... also, the time between "!" and "spotted" is miniscule anyways.... the difficulty is WAYYYY too ramped for the 5th level in...
any pointers on level 5? ;)
maybe there are hidden or secret controls, like to shoot farther or jump higher
ReplyDeletethe ducking doesn't seem to be useful anywhere yet
Has Bart played this game?
ReplyDeleteI would like to know his opinion on it and if he has passed lvl 5?
If you restart enough times on level 5 you can see a number 8 with a blue bandana just before you start.
ReplyDeletei was messing with the "c" control, looking around at the surroundings, and it got stuck. Then I ended up with a floating number 1.
ReplyDeleteThat happened on the 5th level. I forgot to mention that.
ReplyDeletei got it! time!
ReplyDeleteat 17 seconds, the 1 should be hitting the corner and turning. jump across, jump straight up, and launch a *... you should hit 8. then quickly jump back across and hit 1 with a - safely across the gap... :)
use "c" to look around and watch the clock....
ninja??? nope! crafty? yup! ;)
shame on me for killing so much time though... lol
LOLOLOLOL, and then level 6 won't even load! Even after I passed 5 again!
ReplyDeletemwahahahaha, y'all have a good night... I done with the insanity.
You stay sexy San Diego!
Big grey box with a white rectangle.
ReplyDeleteGreat game.
Are the people who got the game to work using IE or some other browser? Even with refreshing, it's still just an empty white rectangle for me...
ReplyDeleteOnly browser I can get it to work in is Firefox, so give that a shot!
ReplyDeleteso how exactly do i pass level 2????
ReplyDeleteSeems like this game is only working in Firefox indeed ...
ReplyDeletedefinately, Bart. Oh, well. Get enough math every day, anyway. :P
ReplyDeletehey Bart, i really want to play itt!!! please find a way to post it and that it works everywhere!
ReplyDeleteDownload the (free) navigator "Mozilla Firefox" and use that instead of explorer. Works like a charm!
ReplyDeleteGrr it wont load! I only have an empty progress bar. What do you do? So frusterating! I wanna play!
ReplyDelete>:O
bart can you remove JAYPEE's last coment so the parents/10 year olds and under can get back on the site?
ReplyDeleteOh wow.... Hey "Anon", Take a closer look at some of the games posted on this site...
ReplyDeleteChildren and those with easily offended sensibilities probably shouldn't be on this site anyway...
LOTS worse out there than the word "sexy"...
Too hard for me...
ReplyDeleteNo fun in this game.
I got past level 5 but now the next level isn't loading. A shame, the idea for this game is REALLY good. But the maker somehow managed to absolutely ruin it.
ReplyDelete@ Thijs:
ReplyDeletedid you pass lvl5 just like JayPee did? or is there another way?
@ I
ReplyDeleteNo, I used JayPee's advice, it's the only way and you'll need a few tries to get the timing right. I jumped right after 16 seconds I think.
i passed to lvl 13 and i'm stucked.
ReplyDeleteSomeone help in this?
i beat the game. 4/5
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck on level nine. Any help?
ReplyDeleteI am stick at level 11 :( Why the hell it's so hard, cant get an 8 when I got 6 and a - a / and a X and 3, 2 and 1 ... I found a way to grab -, / and X without alerting the numbers but I dont know which one to hit first, second and third and with which attack :(
ReplyDelete@ Brognor
ReplyDeletethe solution for lvl 11 is: 6/2*3-1=8
Does anyone know how to get past lvl 14? I can't find a way to kill nr 3 (the - doesn't want to hit it)
ReplyDeleteNever mind, got it :)
ReplyDeleteHow pass lvl 14 ?? pls
ReplyDeleteLvl 14 solution : 1*8-5*3-2=7
ReplyDeleteto shoot nr 3, don't shoot from the ground or mid air, something in between. I know that sounds hard, but that's how I got it. It will need some practice though. Hope that helps :)
