--Path Of The Ninja--

NOTE: Screenshots look a bit blurry

A constantly changing ninja is on his way to become the very best. Fight to get the highscore!

Please read below, as there are no instructions ingame. Thank you!

Controls:

- You can move around with [WASD]
- You use moves with each of the buttons in the mouse (Check characters below for more info)
- You can exit the game with [Escape]

Characters:

Ninja:
- You start with this character
- Weak but fast

- Moves:

- Left:
Throws a knife moving towards the mouse

- Right:
Powers up the next knife launch (damage is multiplied by 3)

- Middle:
Increases shooting speed to ~2 knives a second for a moment

Mage:
- It's almost in the same level than the ninja
- Very slow but huge damage

- Moves:

- Left:
Throws a fireball

- Right:
Increases speed for a moment, useful to evade an attack

- Middle:
Throws 3/4 fireballs in random directions. Use when a lot of enemies are around you

Engineer:
- It's a powerful class, but must be used wisely
- Medium speed, medium/big damage

- Moves:

- Left:
Short range meele attack with decent damage.

- Right:
Medium range meele attack with fairly good damage. Kills projectiles

- Middle:
Places a turret. It will shoot at enemies constantly, deals low damage per hit,
but will keep shooting for a long time

Mechanics:

In the game, instead of simply leveling up or switching characters, you become whoever you kill (If he is a bigger level than you). If you get killed though, two things may happen:
- You become the enemy who killed you if he is underlevel
- You die if the enemy is overlevel or the same level

Known Issues:

- The game is overall, poorly balanced
- Sometimes enemies may stop spawning (Rare, may not even happen anymore)
- The engineer AI is useless in 1v1 combat

Note about files:

The game is hosted in both Gamejolt and Itch.io, used whatever you like the most :)

Source is only available at Itch.io

Linux and Mac builds should work on both x86 and x86-64 machines. Tell me if there is any problem! (Cannot test)

Windows should work everywhere with windows.

Reminds me one of OUYA games
Still a good entry!

The arena type was really cool! I enjoyed the ninja the most. A little sound feedback when my attacks are ready would have been a good support, though!

Well played, anyway, that's a pretty cool entry :)

Had trouble getting past the mage. He does a ton of damage. Well done, it was definitely fun.
