In this game, become a ninja master by virtue of surviving longer than your peers.\r\n\r\n-= On the Theme=-\r\nMinimalism, in my mind, is using the least number of elements to create the maximum effect. I attempted to limit the graphics, controls, and concepts in this game to a minimum. Also, in-game in order to maximize your characters power, you have to minimize your team. \r\n\r\nAlso: Haikus!\r\n\r\nOn Friday morning I created a base template with my Axel game library patches and some example code so I could remember how to play sounds, etc. I'll include that template as well for interested parties, although I retain copyright of all code.
