Bowja the Ninja is a charming little point and click flash game.

I’ll warn you now, it’s easy to finish - but while it lasts it’s great fun.

I don’t play the point and click games very often, generally I get bored to death trying to work out the solution to the puzzle where the answer is combining the toaster with the elephant to open the portcullis. However games such as this, where logic are involved are great. There is an obvious progression, a (semi) sense of danger, the idea that you’re sneaking around, even a story - and all without any dialogue or cutscenes.

If you’re new to the genre then Bowja the Ninja would be a great primer, and if you’re not, then it would be a fun way to spend ten minutes of your time.

BTW here’s a quick hint for people who haven’t played a flash based point and click game before. When you have the game in focus (click somewhere on the game) you can press the tab key repeatedly to highlight the different areas you can click - it won’t solve the puzzles for you but at least you’ll know what is interactive.
