Hi guys,
We are a group of 4 amateur gamedevs. We've been working on this game using Stencyl for almost half a year now, and thought that we should finally start sharing our progress here!
-----------
Our game is called
Ninjet, and it's a vertical shoot 'em up targeting both Android and iOS.
Here are some screenshots:
Ninjet is a pretty standard vertical shmup, but it does have some unique features that sets it apart from other games of the same genre:
- It is endless! You fight through a bunch of enemy waves, and a boss fight follows soon after. Defeating bosses will increase the difficulty of the game. This continues until you lose all your life. Try to aim for the highest score possible!
- You play as a fighter jet that fires standard projectiles, but also has the ability to transform into a Ninja Robot (hence the title "Ninjet")! The Ninja Robot form is invincible and has a melee lightsaber slash attack. This mode has a separate health bar that slowly drains over time, and you must replenish your robot's health points by killing enemies in jet mode. Running out of health in either mode will cause a Game Over.
- The game starts off easy enough for even casual players to enjoy, but gets progressively harder, posing a challenge to even experienced players! Everything from the enemy waves to the bosses in the game get stronger! More health, more damage, tougher wave formations, and increasingly difficult boss attack patterns!
Here is a list of features in our game (both completed and planned):
- 2 control schemes, touch mode as well as tilt mode.
- Chain kill scoring system. Killing enemies consecutively without getting damaged will increase your score multiplier.
- 7 different enemy types with over 30 different attack formations
- 4 different power ups: Health, Jammer, Homing Missile, and Rapid Fire.
- 3 different bosses that return with harder attack patterns each time you defeat them, and a 4th boss that will appear before only those who are worthy!
- Unlockable cosmetic skins using in-game currency or real money. These are purely cosmetic and provide no added advantage during gameplay.
- Local and online leaderboards.
Will share more of our work here soon. Let us know what you think!
