LudumData

ChiroNinja by Reiv

[raw]
made by Reiv for LD35 (JAM)
You are a ninja. You have been kidnapped by aliens. They made weird things to you and now you can transform into a bat. Use your abilities in order to escape.

---CONTROLS---

E - Switch between Bat or Ninja


-NINJA CONTROLS-

A or D - move
W - Jump
SPACEBAR - Throw shurikens

-BAT CONTROLS-

A or D - move
W - Jump
Hold SPACEBAR near the Roof or a Wall to stick to it

So yeah, this is my first Ludum Dare! Sadly I didn't manage to finish. I spend half of the time struggling and learning GM but I gained a lot of experience, so I hope to make something better for the next time!

I will appreciate all your critics and suggestions. It will help me to keep getting better :)

Great! I like the innovative choice of bat as the shape shift. Art is good too reminds me of game boy games for some reason. Well done.

It's my first ludum dare too! I can relate to alot of the things you said in the description. Very nice pixelart and animations; I love it. The controls for the bat is a bit finnicky but overall it works really well so congrats on getting something out!

Nice, really good concept. Bat was a little difficult to control but that is somewhat expected.

I like your art style, amazing job with animations! But controls are really hard and unpredictible, it makes the game very hard. Hitboxes of obstacles are far to wide for me, I didn't expect spikes to kill me from aside.

Good job on the animation, even if you didn't finish it your next one will be even better. Good submission.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Cool artwork/animations/palette! I specially liked the way the controls works for the bat, is challenging at the beggining but necessary.
Also never thought a bat/ninja could fit so well. Good job.

Great game overall, it's just so hard to control the bat. I think the falling is too strong, which is a little bit hard to move and jump at the same time. Maybe if there was a greater linear velocity it would be more easy to control

Great first LD entry. The sprites were really well done, although there should have been more animation frames.
But geez, was this game hard. Sorry but I couldn't finish the first level. the instakill spikes and rapid fire lasers were too much.
But great job anyhow. Maybe next time make a little easier game :)
