Ninja dash: Cozy tactic puzzle

One careful move is all it takes to turn a hopeless-looking room full of guards into a clean sweep - that's the loop in Ninja dash: Cozy Tactic Puzzle. You're not button-mashing here, you're a ninja tactician reading angles, sightlines, and cover before you commit to a single dash.

Every level is a small puzzle box. Rotate the camera, check what's hiding behind that crate, then send your ninja gliding through with a tap or click. It's stealth, but slowed down into something you can actually think through, which is why it sits so comfortably in the Puzzle games lineup instead of a twitchy action game.

It runs free in the browser on desktop or mobile, no download needed, so you can queue up a few rooms on your phone and finish the plan later on a bigger screen. If you like games built around Tactical Games thinking rather than reflexes, this one's worth the five minutes.

Clear each level by moving your ninja past enemies without getting spotted, using cover and positioning to line up clean takedowns instead of rushing in.

On keyboard, hold the right mouse button and move the mouse to rotate your character, left-click to act, and use A/D or the mouse wheel to rotate and zoom the camera. On mobile, use the on-screen buttons to move and swipe or pinch to control the camera.

Check your surroundings before you act - a wall or object in the right spot can hide your approach or set up your next move.
