Me and one of my teammates, Wartagon, has been working very hard on this game for a few months. It's now finally taking shape, so I'll show you some screenshots. Story In the start of this game Master Jikah is teleported to a dimension where his enemy Sinith Majoo is hiding. Till this point, Majoo could just escape, but this time he can't, because he has weakened. This is a fighting based platformer where you go around fighting robots using your sword and any other abilities you have, like the double jump, or throwing stars. In the prequels there weren't any enemies, but in this there will be lot's of them, with each it's own movment. The game will consist of 3 chapters, each consisting of 3 levels and a boss, so in total that is 9 levels, and 3 bosses. The level are small, so this game is not long, but it will also feature an online highscore board, so it will hopefully be addicting. If you want to check out the prequels, or see updates about the game vist www.crobasoft.com Screenshots: http://www.sitesled.com/members/destroyer/ck31 http://www.sitesled.com/members/destroyer/ck32 http://www.sitesled.com/members/destroyer/ck33 http://www.sitesled.com/members/destroyer/ck34 http://www.sitesled.com/members/destroyer/ck35 http://www.sitesled.com/members/destroyer/ck36 http://www.sitesled.com/members/destroyer/ck37 http://www.sitesled.com/members/destroyer/ck38 http://www.sitesled.com/members/destroyer/ck39 If the screenshots aren't enough for you, you can check out trailer at: http://www.lhs.se/~larnoh/Trailer.zip (5,4 MB) You'll need the Xvid codec to run it: http://download.divxmovies.com/XviD-1.0.3-20122004.exe We're currently aiming for a release in then end of 2005.

It does look pretty cool :) I particularly like the parallax scrolling you have going on, well done!

Keep it up and finish 'er out.

Looks really nice and cool, but can I make some comments/suggesntions?
First I think 9 short levels is not enough gameplay, if you are planning to sell the game.
Also, the shootings of the robots, especially the bosses, seem to be too hard to avoid completly. I would prefer that the ninja has less life, but it will be more possible to avoid shots completly. Instead of relying on that you have enough life to absorb some shots and hang on, but that is my personal taste.
Overall, excellent job.

Agreed.

I watched the trailer, it looks very nice. I am looking forward to the release. Will the game be for sale or will it be released as a free download?

You can avoid the bosses shots completly, just takes a little practice.
We are not planning on selling the game, we'll release it as freeware.

I know 9 levels isn't much, but that was goal we had from the beginning, to make sure we would finish the game. We've also added an extra level, so there will be 10.

Thanks for the comments :)

You did a good job on the movie; I really liked the presenation. When I watched it, though, it seemed like the ninja had a pretty short sword. As you progress in the game, do you gain access to a longer, better sword, multiple ninja stars (like two at once), etc? Just curious. ;) Keep up the good work.

You do learn new attacks longer in the game, not a longer sword, but some othe attacks, like one where you fly across the screen killing everything you touch.
