How you play
Stand on one foot and hold it as long as you can. Pure balance and core strength, one leg at a time. Jump with both feet to clear what comes at you. Legs and timing — the jumps come faster as you go.
Crane Stance is one of the 35 free movement games at the Hopla Ninja Academy, and the webcam is the whole controller. Four ranks take it from a 4-year-old's first try to a real challenge at 14, and every rank has its medal. It runs in the browser — nothing to install, no account, and the video never leaves your device.
