I gave this a try last night. It needs instructions badly. I don't know what the tools do, it's not clear how I gain or lose ninjutsu, and it's not entirely clear where I'm trying to go (presumably in the direction of the arrow, but the arrow itself is kind of dodgy. It seems like there are terrain effects, but it's hard to tell.

Yes, indeed this is an issue. Will add some of these details on a short tutorial later tonite. For now, here's a grid:

Terrain Type	Ninjutsu modifier	Oxygen modifier
Grass	+1	+1
Sand	0	+1
Water	+2	-1
Road	-1	+1
Marble	-2	+1
Tiled	-5	+1

Tool	Function	AI turns before reuse
Smoke bomb	Shrouds the player in smoke, giving you full ninjutsu and APs	10
Shuriken storm	Fires a shuriken to each enemy in a radius, damage proportional to ninjutsu	12
Grappling hook	Let's you climb over a wall	10

Well done getting it done :-)

I tried it out and after spending alot of time walking with nothing about I came across two people who attacked me. I used smoke and then shuriken to kill them but then my character disappeared (or died?) after I stepped on a corpse and then clicked on the character (I was trying to see if I could pickup the enemies weapon). Any ideas?

Hahaha! That's a bug! If you click on yourself you commit seppukku! Not what i intend it to be.

Post 7DRL i will probably add a (belated) inventory, and some more interesting map generation (right now, you only get a castle and that's it). Like some towns, houses scattered here and there, shops to buy implements, etc. making the game more interesting.

Just did a quick update to add a tutorial and fix the arrow being hard to understand.

[KhaoTom]

You should get rid of the seppuku. It's extremely frustrating when I accidentally click my own tile, and it forces me to reload the page to try again.

[Samildanach]

Is there just the one target? I got him and then survived for the specified number of turns, the game said "you won" then kept going. Do I get another target is there just no end game trigger?

[vultures]

You should receive a life-supply of anything you enjoy the best,

And just because you've made South Park's Ike the protege in a RL game.


Best of wishes!

Hi peeps! Didn't connect from a long time ago! Thanks for playing the game!

@KhaoTom The seppuku was a bug hehe... will revise it at a later time when i update the game.

@Samildanach Yeah the endgame trigger is shitty... i was critiqued during the 7DRL Jam because the end was crappy.

@vultures I got inspired by the canadians in south park, and that's the simplest character you can do that gets recognized quickly, i'm not an artist! And about the life-supply, i would want one internet point each day plz...
