Project overview
Nutri Ninja is a free-to-play educational game designed to encourage active lifestyles and expand children's knowledge about food and nutrition. Players control a ninja warrior tasked by his Master to travel globally and discover nutrition beyond fruits — encountering carbohydrates, vegetables, proteins, and fats across four adventure stages aligned with the Malaysian Food Pyramid. The game's signature mechanic uses the smartphone's accelerometer to detect walking: players must physically move to make the ninja advance.
