Rare 2018 cassette release now available in 2020 as free digital download game! The game was sold to raise funds for Asociación de Usuarios de Informática Clásica (A.U.I.C.) and celebrate the RetroMadrid 2018 vintage & homebrew computer event.
The Chun-go clan ninjas have attacked the temple of the Association of Classical Computer Users for stealing all the money from the association and spend it on liquor and ladies with distracted morals.
Luckily Ninjakul is willing to sneak into the temple and get back the money from the Retro Madrid 2018 event.
You play as Ninjakul and you have to find the 10 piggy banks with the money and get back to the exit to complete the game. You have to avoid the enemies and the shurikens they throw, and then you have to find the right way to go. Not all areas are accessible from the beginning, each time you have collected 3 piggy banks a door will open somewhere.
You can also find shurikens you can use against the enemies, but use them wisely because you don’t have too many.
The game starts up very impressive, everything is nice looking and polished, it is fast and controls well. If you lose some energy you can refill by eating the chicken legs you can find. Once you enter the A.U.I.C. the fine polish of the game drops down a little, because there is quite a lot of color clash in some of the enemies here when they move around in different colored background.
A little short and only five different types of enemies but a fun game with some fine music.
The game was made by Pat Moriata Team in 2018.
