Ninjobi

Ninjobi (pronounced "nin-joe-bee") is a game made for Untitled Game Jam #131 with the themes of "Hidden" and "Free Choice." 

The "Hidden" theme is reflected in the game's stealth elements. You must stay hidden from guards or else face their wrath. 

The "Free Choice" theme is, perhaps, more abstract. It's reflected in the level design and how you are able to approach each level in multiple ways. There are often intended solutions and unexpected solutions if you think outside the box. Some solutions might be harder to pull of while others might let you cheese the level completely. It's all up to you! Think of it as a difficulty option, but it's not a button in a menu.

How to Play

Sneak past the guards and grab the gem. With the gem in hand, make your way to the exit without being spotted. The guards in this castle are quite aggressive, so its doubtful you will live long if they catch you.

If the timer runs out, all guards will permanently chase you for the rest of the level.

A small white hand icon shows up when you're near objects you can pick up. A small white pickaxe icon shows up near structures you can hit and break.
