Hi folks,

Please take a look at a new WIP, Ninja Star. It’s a frantic, frenetic, slightly goofy, holy-crap-fifty-dozen-bad-guys-are-coming-to-kill-me-all-at-the-same-time arena-style shooter. You’re the ocean’s deadliest ninja and on a quest for vengeance against the evil Boss Shark, the criminal mastermind who devoured your family and left you an orphan.

Before you take your vengeance, however, you must battle through the Boss’ criminal empire. Use your trusty katana, nunchucks, quintuple-wielded shurikens and even your stomach to survive against hundreds of the most vile, nasty creatures around.

Update: 11/12 - Toned down the difficulty, added two new enemy types, added a proximity attack to some of the previously straight-line enemies.
11/3 - Added more types of enemies, attacks and powerups to first level to get the game really moving as soon as you start playing.

Ninja Star on wooglie.com

The game features combo and streak bonuses, unique upgrades, advanced ninja skills to learn and 20 different types of enemies and obstacles, including squid, penguins and tiny shrimp with giant guns.

The main focus so far has been on gameplay, so there will be some texture/graphics upgrades coming soon. Also on the to do list: better sound effects and music, a few more enemy types and more levels (the upgrades and powerups will be more spread out in the final version).

Thanks for playing.

Pretty fun, Keep it up.

Thanks wesley, will do.

I’ve updated the game with a bigger variety of enemies, powerups and available attacks so it really starts off with a bang.

Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated, even the negative kind. This is my first “real” game so anything constructive will be a big help.

Great job, I think it plays really well. I like the side-to-side action, reminds me of some of the classic NES games, and it’s nice to see Unity used to make a game like this. Also it’s really challenging, which is good. I could only get through the first two levels.

Thanks unityrookie, glad you liked it. It’s not supposed to be uber-challenging so I’ll tweak the difficulty some.

Its like those 8 bit games that you had to be smoking weed to make

Hmm, no weed here, but the radon detector has been making noise lately. Maybe it’s not just a low battery?

Updated with: reduced difficulty, added a couple more enemy types and added a basic proximity attack to a few of the stupider enemies.

That’s hilarious!

I looked at this thread a few times thinking ninja. But then I saw a screen underwater of a shark… Had to play it to see what it was about. Pretty cool feature, good humor.
