Ninja Neko

About the Game

   In Ninja Neko, you take on the role of Shin, a ninja cat seeking vengeance against the corrupt warlord Kurohoshi Sato. After returning to his homeland to find it in ruins, Shin embarks on a journey to defeat the tyrant and restore peace. Using his agility, tactics, and ninja skills, he must outmanoeuvre enemies and uncover the truth behind the war that devastated his clan.

 Gameplay & Mechanics 

    Ninja Neko is a 2D stealth platformer who strongly emphasises tactical movement and environmental interaction. Players must navigate through enemy-infested areas, use their abilities wisely, and stay hidden to survive.

Key Features:

• Stealth Mechanics – Hide in the shadows or in bushes to avoid enemy sightlines and silent takedowns.
• Agile Movement – Run, Jump or Double Jump, Precise Jump and balance on edges with cat-like precision.

  • Silent Takedown – Eliminate enemies from behind.

  • Cloning – Distract enemies by creating a temporary decoy.
  • Catnip – Enhance senses to detect hidden environmental hazards or hidden rooms.
• Enemy AI – Enemies respond to sound and visual cues, making strategic play essential.
