YŌKAI NINJA

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 attack type

Attacks:

• Shuriken : fast and tiny, can break some blocks
• Kunai : unlimited, break on 1st obstacle, can break some blocks
• Grappin : will stop on 1st bloc on its way. Do not break blocks.
• Special(magic) : Will split all balls in two (and removes tiny ones)

v1.00 As it's a "very big" 10 days dev (started 3rd march) it naturally lacks of:

• proper intro (written but need code to appear),
• proper continue/gameover/end screens
• a ton a levels,
• bosses (1st one is made but not activated),
• bonus to pick (code is made, but not activated/tested)
• polishing, many little things to tweak.

v1.04 is 15 days dev, many improvements - 16 levels (1st stage) - 1st boss

• Music Rushjet1 (incredible tracks from compo 2007!)
• SDCC (custom lib. C/inline ASM)
• Wladx
• Tiled
• Python (custom scripts)
• Photoshop
• BMP2tile/PNG2Tile
• Meka (test/debug)
• Emulicious(verif timings)
• cartesia.ai (japanese samples AI)
• itch.io (base ninja and base boss sprite, see https://pixel-boy.itch.io)
