A downloadable game

To liberate his people from the demon Onryo and his army of yokai, the ninja Hiro embarks on a perilous quest. Mastering the art of ninjutsu, he sets out to confront the creatures in order to purify the land...

A pang like within a ninja/yokai world.


Pad = Move (left, right, climb)
Btn1 = Attack
Btn2 = Swap weapon

Attacks:

  • Shuriken : very fast and tiny, can break some blocks
  • Kunai : unlimited, break on 1st obstacle, can break some blocks
  • Grapple : will stop on 1st bloc on its way. Do not break blocks.  Stay active ~2sec.
  • Special (magic) : Will split all yokais in two (and removes tiny ones)

It's a POC (proof of concept) of a potential full game.
