Space Ninja by Bernhard

[raw]
made by Bernhard for LD 42 (JAM)

Swing through gravitational pulls of stars and planets in this tricky action game!

Story

You belong to the Space Ninja - a race of intergalactic warriors renowned across the universe for their incredible power – However, despite their peerless might, their innate susceptibility to sunlight has held them back for millennia.

As the sun continues to grow, most of space has become far too deadly for you to stay, so you board your spaceship, the Shuriken, and begin a journey to find a new home.

You are, but a ninja breaking through gravitational pulls, and running out of space.

It's a fun game! I had to take a second to understand exactly how the controls worked, but it was all good after that.

Can't say I didn't like this one! The idea is cool, and the solar systems and shadow casting planets are very well done. Strengths were definitely the atmosphere (it's oddly immersive actually) and innovation. I also appreciate you stayed with only 3 levels and thus made it easy to finish the game.

The only thing that could need some improvement imho is the physics / controls. Steering the spaceship is somewhat daunting and not very rewarding - even though probably physically sound. Having less inertia, and more control over where you're going, would probably make for a more enjoyable experience.

Also kudos for using LÖVE, and even making it playable in web. Good work. :)

@rahim-pxr your link isn't quite right, I guess it should be https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42 (without the a).

The controls were difficult to get the hang of but the idea behind it and the light damaging your ship was a real nice mechanic to make a simple use of the theme to a much higher level. The music is lovely and chilling, very well done indeed :)
