Samurai Balls
Made for Pico1k 2024
I would have liked to have added some more polish and better enemies, but I ran right up to the 1kb limit. Those character animations cost me dear!
You play a samurai in a fierce battle against some balls ninja stars.
The character is always running, you only control the jump and attack.
Thanks to @JadeLombax for transforming balls into ninja stars!
Jump: x (if playing on a keyboard this is "x", "v" or "m")
Attack: o (on keyboard "z", "c" or "n")

Really nice animations!
I love that you can stand on the score
Wow, first Pico1k entry I can recall having such smooth character animations 🤩
Nice and addictive gameplay - best I managed was 27 (after several tries).
You even squeezed some good SFX and music in there.
Congrats on a great entry! 👏
(P.S. - I agree, the ninja "star" upgrade really works well 😉)
Thanks Paul!
Fun game, the concept is minimalist but you get a lot out of it. Well done!
Thanks!
Fun game, but i have one very important question, Does samurai have some kind of grudge against balls?
Balls are the natural born enemy of a samurai of course. (If I had had enough bytes left I may have made them into ninja stars or something)
Great job on the animation! Read your comment about ninja stars and the ctrl-f glyph to mind, so altered a couple lines of code and changed the balls to stars. Here's a link (1024 compressed bytes):

Yes! I totally forgot about the glyphs!
I am totally updating to use this and then pretending it was like that all along! Thanks!
Always glad to share a little hack or two. 😉
