GungHo Entertainment’sNinjalahas surpassed yet another impressive milestone just days aftercelebrating a million downloads. On July 30th, theNinjalaTwitter account announced that “in celebration of 2 million downloads of #Ninjala, all players [would] receive a free gift of 100 Jala!”
An officialNinjalarepresentative further confirmed that “all players who downloadNinjalafrom now until August 26 will receive a free thank you gift of 300 Jala” as well. To be clear, Jala isNinjala’s form of premium currency. Even considering the rewards offered by the paid Ninjala Pass, Jala is rather difficult to come by. What’s more, many of the highly sought-after avatar costumes will run a ninja upwards of 1,000 Jala, andsome cosmetics are consumable.

So, if any players have been on the fence about this colorful new bubblegum ninja fighter, it may be the perfect time to download - especially now that the game is running smoothly andlaunch day server issuesare mostly gone.
This announcement comes coupled with GungHo’s release of Developer Diary #6, which teases future DLC and gets into the nitty-gritty of theNinjalaranked match system. Past dev diaries have detailed features like the game’srock-paper-scissors parrying system, but players looking to better understand the game’s rankings should be sure to give this edition a watch.
After an initial delay, and a successful second beta,Ninjalahas started to make its mark on Nintendo’s gaming community. TheSplatoon-inspired fighter may face criticism for its bumpy launch and pricey weapon skins, but those complaints don’t seem large enough to outweigh the fun of wacky bubblegum ninja fights. And if the game seems a bit overwhelming at first, ninjas are always welcome toplayNinjalawith a friend, but for a hands-on learning experience, perhaps watch a few dev diaries and dive right into the Ranked Match fires.
