I first found a link to this game while watching The Lab with Leo Laporte on G4, Yewell’s Jewels on episode 159. This little indie number, about a ninja caught in a futuristic world battling drones and gauss turrets has actually captivated me for many many nights. It is possibly the most pure Puzzle Platformer to come out since Donkey Kong and Jumpman. But the physics engine sets it in the hyper-reality of games using Havoc. I remember Putty and I writing a 2D game for Turing all those years ago. Horse racing with playing card symbols. We even had cheat codes. Somewhere deep down, below dreams of under-achieving and doing the bare minimum I had dreams of level design in videogames. I knew I could make levels with devious traps and perils, making the character feel more heroic when they successfully completed it. Well n has that editor built right in. Just use the ~ sign and lo and behold, there is the editor menu. The levels can be saved as simple .txt files and imported and shared. For a free game this one really rocks. Get hooked, make some levels, send em in, if I like it, I’ll post it here. The .txt and a picture of the level.
It can be downloaded HERE
