Path of the Ninja by TajamSoft

[raw]
made by TajamSoft for LD35 (JAM)
--Path Of The Ninja--

NOTE: Screenshots look a bit blurry


A constantly changing ninja is on his way to become the very best. Fight to get the highscore!

Please read below, as there are no instructions ingame. Thank you!

Controls:

- You can move around with [WASD]
- You use moves with each of the buttons in the mouse (Check characters below for more info)
- You can exit the game with [Escape]

Characters:

Ninja:
- You start with this character
- Weak but fast
- Moves:
- Left:
Throws a knife moving towards the mouse
- Right:
Powers up the next knife launch (damage is multiplied by 3)
- Middle:
Increases shooting speed to ~2 knives a second for a moment

Mage:
- It's almost in the same level than the ninja
- Very slow but huge damage
- Moves:
- Left:
Throws a fireball
- Right:
Increases speed for a moment, useful to evade an attack
- Middle:
Throws 3/4 fireballs in random directions. Use when a lot of enemies are around you

Engineer:
- It's a powerful class, but must be used wisely
- Medium speed, medium/big damage
- Moves:
- Left:
Short range meele attack with decent damage.
- Right:
Medium range meele attack with fairly good damage. Kills projectiles
- Middle:
Places a turret. It will shoot at enemies constantly, deals low damage per hit,
but will keep shooting for a long time

Mechanics:

In the game, instead of simply leveling up or switching characters, you become whoever you kill (If he is a bigger level than you). If you get killed though, two things may happen:
- You become the enemy who killed you if he is underlevel
- You die if the enemy is overlevel or the same level

Known Issues:

- The game is overall, poorly balanced
- Sometimes enemies may stop spawning (Rare, may not even happen anymore)
- The engineer AI is useless in 1v1 combat




Note about files:

The game is hosted in both Gamejolt and Itch.io, used whatever you like the most :)

Source is only available at Itch.io



Linux and Mac builds should work on both x86 and x86-64 machines. Tell me if there is any problem! (Cannot test)

Windows should work everywhere with windows.

Your game was actually fun! The 1v1 ninja combat was VERY enjoyable! I'm saving this game forever.

Will you please, please, please share the source? :D

The arena type was really cool! I enjoyed the ninja the most. A little sound feedback when my attacks are ready would have been a good support, though!

Well played, anyway, that's a pretty cool entry :)

Had trouble getting past the mage. He does a ton of damage. Well done, it was definitely fun.
