The Legend of Sneak Ninja Kill by vidarn
Take control of an evil ninja on a senseless quest for blood.
Control the ninja with the d-pad and use the A button for a devastating Ninja Kill Strike.
Take care not to let the civilians spot you.
This is a game for the original Game Boy and can be played on the real thing if you own a usb cartridge.
I realize most of you don't own one, but the game works just as good with an emulator (but you lose some of the oldschool charm).
I've included a link to one of the most accurate emulators I know, "Gambatte". There's download links for all major platforms on the sourceforge site.
I apologize in advance for the crappy ending!

Ah, I looked at your post, you did it in C.
Still good.
That's awesome!!
There are some minor bugs but I'm pretty sure those are emulator/gameboy related :)
A rather short but nice and definitely very original game! :)
The game itself is nice too! The line of sight detection seemed to work fine for me, after a little time learning how it functions. I made it to the end, only had to kill a couple of people.
I use this usb cartridge to run games on my game boy:

Great stuff if you're into game boy homebrew :)
Oh, and I'm sorry to hear the detection system caused some of you problems. I had some performance issues with it and had to cut some corners I'm afraid. That's the penalty for using C over ASM I guess...
Funny game, but shitty ending indeed :P hahaha
Maybe reduce the enemies' sight but make them walk around. Add some poison rice and throwing stars for the authentic ninja experience.
