Hungry Ninja GBC

Hungry Ninja is a precision puzzle platformer, along the lines of Super Meat Boy or Celeste, lovingly made for Gameboy Color. Finding the path and executing it well is the whole explanation, but saying is much easier than doing - master the wall jump, double jump, dash, slide, and every combination of those under the sun to race through the game at mach speed, gobbling up onigiri as you fly! Be careful - points reset on death, but that's usually all that happens... Unless it's a bonus stage...

Getting the feel just right was very important to me, as I was aiming to bring a genre beloved elsewhere to the platform while surpassing the content in some official games from the period. Super Mario Land has 12 levels - this has 15 across 3 zones, plus 12 bonus stages, and even more to unlock if you manage to bring enough onigiri to the end...

Thanks to nromdotcom from the Evercade Discord for the comment that inspired Arcade mode, as well as the comment that gave you the "Play Again/Quit" dialog!

All of the levels have been hand tested both by me and the wonderful community of the Evercade server, and every pickup has been picked up - I am now confident the game is playable in its entirety, and beatable! If you manage to find anything you believe to be an error, I'll check and update as necessary :)

This photo from nromdotcom, on his fourth time completing the game and the first time confirming the last bugs (which he found on his third run) had been squashed! The game never would have gotten to this state without his relentless testing, thanks so much!
