You are a ninja who has been exiled from your previous homeland. On your way to find a new home, you are attacked by a group of evil ninjas who plan to kill you! (I know, original right?) Your only escape is to find the source of the ninjas and destroy it.
"What does any of this have to do with the theme?" you may ask... Well, "Entire game on one screen" means your own monitor's screen, right? Move the window around to see the rest of the map on your screen!
Made in Clickteam Fusion 2.5 Developer. Famitracker used for the audio.
Update 1: You can now turn scan-lines on/off in the Options page.
EDIT: Now available for Mac OSX! Original Sound-track and Sprites can be downloaded and used for a minimum price of $2.99 at the download link. You don't have to pay to play the game, but you do for the sound-track and sprites.
I really like the cute graphics and the intro animation. It does get fairly easy once you get the right weapon. There's also a bug where I can move past the edges of the screen without being stopped.
Nice thinking outside the box! I played the game for a while without figuring out the window trick, then went back to this page and read the description and figured it out! I guess the prompt at the beginning was too quick for me.
Very impressive! I liked the music and graphics. As soon as I moved the window and the game moved I was blown away because I've never seen that done before. It really adds a sense of exploration. I had three goes and the second and third times I got to the final crystal and died. I think I would have preferred less Ninjas and being able to dodge their attacks. As it was the gameplay got a bit monotonous. But I think with some tweaking this could really turn into something. And great use of the theme!
Best use of the theme yet i think. Very cool. I think it would benefit from being able to control the player entirely with one hand (including shooting) so you can move at the same time.
I preferred the fan through out the game. made about 4000 points.. then i read you could move the window, he he, health was halfway by then, made it to the last crystal and death fell upon me. Great Time!
Cool Idea, funny I found it by searching "Homeland" because there is a game called homeland which is exeptional and it brough also this game up. I recognized your name because we tried at the same time a german turned based racing game (grid cars). On this game, the balance is totally broken but it can become interesting by having slower but more deadly enemies :)
I liked the idea. I expected the game to be buggy, I saw another window-related game, which only could be played normally with a cert, but this game went totally good. However, I didn't like the gameplay. It is not original, and it doesn't involve much skill. I expected to be trying to shoot nasty ninjas, avoiding their attacks etc., but I could just stay far enough from a crystal and shoot it, hitting both it and ninjas. They do not do enough damage to make me use a better strategy, and I have a feeling you can't make up anything better. Well, I can just press a certain key to destroy first four crystals... I think every time you hit a crystal, an enemy spawns. That makes faster weapons spawn more enemies. I had fun starting the game and checking out the mechanics, but I think you didn't use it in the best way. I can just look at the whole level once. If you made the level change, that would've made your game more innovative. But for now it's just a proof of the concept.

Love the concept.
Fan OP, pls nerf
The game is incredibly easy, especially with the later weapons. It still needs tuning and balance.
Itd be better of each ninja behaved differently and each weapon was better at hitting certain ninjas so I had a reason to switch.
This would actually work well with right stick to ,move the window at the same time
On this game, the balance is totally broken but it can become interesting by having slower but more deadly enemies :)
