For every pest there is a solution.

Do you have ninja's in your cellar? Call ninja hunter! With his acrobatic skills he'll make sure those annoying creatures won't bother you anymore!

More news? Well, I released an alien hunter demo in my previous blog, but didn't get any replies. Probably because of the apocalypse. What's with huntergames anyway? D:

Oh and the band of the week is CSS.

Keep it slordig!

I'd join the competition if I didn't have to join that forum xD

The competition sounds interesting. I might enter something.

Also, there is a really easy way to get heaps of kills in your game. I won't say how, though :D

Yeah, camping (I assume you mean that) is quite easy in this game. But because of the 2 hour limit I couldn't really make more enemy types or tweak any more.

Did you like it btw?

That was fun.

After the compo, I'd advise you take this further.

The physics could be improved, I noticed that flinging a ninja into another ninja doesn't seem to send them both flinging to their doom, but it's a very cool game.

I'd also suggest running it through the vista-converter, because I have vista. <_<

Thanks. :)

I will continue this probably, wanna make more enemies and weapons and stuff. And yeah, I should've converted, but forgot about it. The full version will be vista compatible then.

Camping is what I mean.

Do I like it? But of course! For 2 hours of work, it turned out to be a great game. Totally your style. It's simple and effective. I can definitely see this becoming a full-length game. AI could be improved, but it's an awesome game so far.

I may join, it depends what i'm doing this weekend.

Fun game. I liked swinging around :D

At the end of the game I got an error - destroy event of obj_ninja, error in code at line 3, Player.kills += 1, unknown variable kills. Im assuming this happened because I shot, then died, then my shots killed some ninjas, however the player object no longer existed =)

Nice game you got thar. Love rappelling in the ninjas and giving them a face full of lead. Great. Shame the framerate gets really low when there are lots of ninjas, but hey.

I will hack and decompile your game. If you have a problem. Don't complain to me about it. Go talk to GearGOD
