Ninja Pet Changer Adventure by davidkanc

[raw]
made by davidkanc for LD35 (JAM)
OBJECTIVE:
Ninja Pet Changer Adventure is a little quest where you have to escape from this weird bluest world.

HOW TO DO IT:
There are some rooms and each one contains a ninja skill but to reach it you have you use one (or more) specific skill so, there are rooms where you can't do anything if you have not the correct ninja/skill.

But there are a skill you can get without obstacles, the Running skill which is in the Yellow room (Each Ninja has a color).

You will find info zones at the entrance of the rooms with some clues.

CONTROLS:
WASD to move. Mouse to control the camera, 'Space' to perform Ninja action and 'Q'/ 'E' to swap between ninja types. 'Escape' to exit to main menu.

NINJA SKILLS:
Default (No ninja): Can highlight the especial zones (only once at time)
Rabbit (Red): Jump*
Rinno (Green): Break walls using a charge*
Tiger (Yellow): Run faster (Be careful!, sometimes is too fast)
Bull (Blue): Attack the enemies

*You can combine Rinno charge and Rabbit Jump to Perform a Super Jump. Good to reach difficult places.

TIPS:
Ninja Runner is very hard to control because is very fast so be careful in some platform zones and use highlight skill to see special blocks.

Ninja Jumper does not jump as Mario Bros, it use physics for jump, so you need some velocity to perform a good jump but some times can be too much speed. Be paused and think about you next jump.

Art, coding and design: David Escalona
Engine used: Unity 5.3

A bit tedious to loose your progress once you die, especially since it took me a while to even understand where to collect the first ninja. I would say navigation is made difficult because of the dominant white, though overall the concept is quite nice

@VapeurTeam You are right, I have to put some info indicators in the level. About to die, at least you don't lost the skills you got. Thanks for playing!

The artstyle of this game was really cool! At first, the game was confusing (I went in blind, heh) but after reading the instructions I managed. Thanks for the entry :)

I like the idea. Was a bit hard to figure out at first. I wish I could do something right away first rather than have to find a ninja first.

Muy chulo. Me ha encantado el diseño de personajes. ¿Los has hecho tu solo? Jugabilidad muy interesante y las mecanicas de transformación muy bien usadas 4/5 en general. Enhorabuena.

Very nice looking. I love the character design.¿Did you do this alone? Interesting gameplay and shapeshift mechanics are nicely applied. 4/5 at overall. Congratz!

The graphics for this game are nice, but the character moves a little to slowly, maybe speed him a up a little bit? Other than that the game seems pretty good, impressive for such a short time period!

Very good concept but it's hard to understand at first. Maybe the Q/E keys are bugged? I can't swap between the ninjas!

@ManuSaiz I suppose you have collected the ninja skills before use it. If not you have to do it, the first avaliable skill is ninja run which is at the "yellow" room. Then you can go to "red" room to collect the jumper skill...

I have tested right now the web version and skill swaping is working properly.

Thanks!

Molan los modelados y las partículas, pero no he entendido muy bien como cambiar de personaje.

The game is a bit confusing at times, I hated when the yellow walls appearead after getting the running skill

Buen trabajo

This game has a lot of potential. It was a bit frustrating to loose the jumping skill after trying awhile to get it. The level itself needs more to it. It's too plain. The character designs are great! Love the sound and music as well. Good work for what you have done so far :)

Overall nice concept, the characters are cute and I liked the Shapeshifting idea. If the levels had a similar style like the characters it would be a perfect small game :)
But I had fun nonetheless.
