Then why not throw in a kid as the enemy you're against who think the teddy bear is hers?\r\n\r\nThe game is simple. Defeat the objects that appear before the timer runs out on them, and then face the boss. You can't attack her directly, you'll lose. Need to distract her first.\r\n\r\nI dedicated the game to my father, whom passed away on April 3rd. He always encouraged me in whatever it was I was pursuing, so I know I could have only completed this with his previous encouragement. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game was built using LibGDX. For the web version, you'll need to use a WebGL capable browser, that also supports mp3 format audio. The windows & desktop zip files contain a runnable jar that are built on JDK 1.7. So you need JDK or JRE 7+ to run them.","title":"Ninja With A Teddy Bear"}
