Gameplay

The protagonist has a carrot as a life bar. As he takes damage, his carrot bar gets eaten. When his health bar is empty, he falls to the grounds and loses a life. He starts the game with 3 lives.

He can go only to the right but sometimes down into sewers. He can use either his hands, feet, or stick to attack. Enemies include flying dragons, street thugs, other ninja, bears, frogs, and other anthropomorphic animals, one of the enemies resembles Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, in the second level of the game, one of the enemies resembles Splinter.

Reception

Home of the Underdogs considers Ninja Rabbits to be horrendous due to bad controls, very easy gameplay, drab background palettes, and slow animations.
