Hey all! I have been working on a three part project called Score Attack Ninja. I love old nes/arcade style games and these games are all about getting a high score. The idea is instead of defeating all of the enemies or getting to the end of the level, you clear a level by reaching a certain score. This makes it all the more fun to collect points and be strategic about which enemies you defeat as some give more or less points.
The first game is designed as a top down action game where you have a space to move in and you defeat enemies that appear.

The second game plays like a shoot-um-up where enemies come from the top of the screen and you shoot them as you fall.

The third game is going to be more about collecting things in a maze style game.
Each game regardless of style finishes each level with an exciting boss fight to mix up game play!
If you like old-school score attack games I recommend you try these out! My goal is to hopefully show why these types of games can be fun and addictive! Please feel free to give feedback and follow my Itch.io page or Score Attack Ninja Facebook page for updates and demos for project 3!
