Shuriken showdown
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
The Story
After re-closing their borders to develop newer technologies, Japan decides they're ready to face the new world.
The year is now 2051, and Japan has finally decided to re-open their borders to show the world what they've achieved.
The Japanese military had recently been replaced by a new association, the DNN. (Definitely Not Ninjas)
The DNN is fully equipped with revolutionary technology, including modernized Shurikens that are able to rewind and phase through all type of matter to return to their owners.
Now that Japan's borders are open again, this information has leaked out into the world, attracting a lot of attention to the DNN...
One of the DNN's top ninja's, Hanzo, wakes up one morning only to find that his dog is missing! A note was left behind with some very ominous writing...
We have your dog. We demand a simple trade, a rewindable shuriken in exchange for your dog's life. You have 24 hours to decide.
Hanzo throws the note on the ground, looks out the window, takes a deep breath and talks outloud.
You want a rewind shuriken? I'll make sure you get one... in your back.
He rushes out his home without a sound.
This can only end one way...

I cannot stop playing!! i love it, kainda weird at the beggining, no instrucctions until you wit esc.
There should be a button in the main menu to show the controls, if that's what you mean.
Thanks for playing and for giving us feedback! I'm glad you find it fun! 😁
I got a chance to play your game it reminds me of classic NES game Ninja Gaiden meets Mega Man. However, I spotted a few suggestions that was hurting the game play. First add a point system to enhance the gaming experience and finally all the option to switch control of the game. Because controlling the “WASD” or arrow keys along with the space bar and mouse is difficult for muscle memory when controlling. For the question is there any weapon upgrade or acquire ability later in the game? I hope these suggestions and question would help improve your game.
Thank you for your feedback!
If we had more time we definitely would've added more features like that. We unfortunately only have one level so there aren't any extra features.
I really like the upgrade system idea though! We'll be sure to add customizable controls too. :)
As for a points system, I'm sure our team will discuss it and figure out a good plan for how it works. Maybe even make the player gain more points if they hit an enemy with a ricochet or rewind.
Thanks for playing!
No problem.
