I already know this one’s gonna be a banger
Super Smash Bros!
Definitely leave your feedback and opinions!
Well we'll be very active here as we make edits and changes to the game based on your feedback. Please invite your bros and have some larger games and let us know what you think / what you would like to see
Wanna do a game rn so i can see the new things since the last time i tried ?
Sure why not - drop a lobby link
😁
👋
Oki let me get it
Suggestion #1. Longer names? It has a max of 10 characters
Is is possible to create the lobby, i cant on phone because it resets it when i switch app
I'm excited to unlock more characters!
Me too
Thx
WOOOO
Hahah keep in mind we're still testing so there may be bugs, etc. feel free to report any issues tho and I can get them resolved asap.
your time has come
still in development but its pretty fun so far!
Can we play on mobile?
Alr
Looks good
You should try horizontal
Alr
That looks better
Bruh 😂
hello chat

Pixelated looks good
Hi
the game is cool, wish they didnt have Ai, fighters tho
It’s almost 6am here. I need to sleep
😭
,afk
No afk
Wow
@lavish storm squareeee is already my fav ❤️
You can play vs people bro! Create a lobby and invite your friends
what do you mean? just play muliplayer 😄
not that the Ai phots when you pick the fighters,
photos
art is still in progress so thats all temp
Everything about the game is WIP currently - like a new born baby in the world except if you don't like that monobrow... it's GONE! Drop your feedback about the gameplay good, bad and ugly!
WinterX reference 🤩
game play is fun, other then that part i dont have to many problems. altought i did just open the game
thanks for trying it out! lots of updates to come
Yup sir
Yep sry
Oh yay, that's cool
ts game is just vibecoded with ai
Awww man the game just crashed
Hey King
😭🥀
fr bro
Is this his first immortalization in a bros game
Wait what ?
I hope so. 🙏
hi there
Game is awesome
is blue wizard able to make anything that isnt derivative anymore? first kart bros ripping off mario kart now a smash bros clone 😭
its alpha test bud, chill
I’ll reword it:
is this Winter’s first time being a skin in a bros game?
step 1: prompt
step 2: deploy
Not every game can be a genre defining beast - however there are plenty of deviations that set kart apart from a straight clone of any one game
I dont think it's part of bros game but yeah i think it's first appearance of Winter in another game than shell
Get cookin
Hru ?
Oh shoot you’re right
Looking at chat history and banned for toxicity. This is a one man developed game in constant flux and earliest of betas - constructive criticism only please.
i can take criticism fo sure, but yeah its not like theres an army over here making this its just me haha
match making feature? Like against others online?
Banned try1ust
😭
I feel like instead of using Ai for icons they couldve commissioned someone to draw the character icons
some aren't ai tho
bud its an alpha test, the games not done yet, art is temp
already said that is coming
okie
w
He has already made a very great work
i like it but could use a top blastzone, as a smash bros player myself i was using uptilt and expecting them to die with ninja
Nate is an artist extraordinaire. Before the game goes alpha you'll see lots of changes. I'm excited for some home grown beats to get in there.
It doessss, but its really high
Still working on it; had it set too low earlier today and we were killing ourselves by jumping
yea i can lower the ceilings im still trying to find the right spot for them that helps with smash style roof kills without accidentally killing you for jumping too high hahah
a tip is to make it so that they only die while in hitstun, this way you cant accidentally do that
Wait just curious that's a skin right ?
no it's the ghost when you die
before you respawn
Ngl some of the characters angel models looks like eggs 😂
its the same system they use for smash, etc
Thanks Dug! Stick around - we need some dedicated brawlers to give some informed feedback
can i fight real ppl
Yeah thats great feedback - any feedback you have like that just hit me with a tag @lavish storm i love it!
i like where things are for an early beta, but the characters could feel more unique. haven't unlocked any yet but i love swordies, specifically ike
Yeah lots of character changes to come, just wanted to get the core game as stable as possible before going into that next step
fair enough
Alr, i think i will test again tomorrow but on pc.
See you all
l8r man!
Also have to go but ill check in after dinner!
is there any unlockable characters or is it just a placeholder for now?
nice role
alright so this round should be me winning because i have more lives than the other bot but instead it's like story mode super smash fights
dont know if its intended like this but its really bad
Is this playable on mobile
next
yes
the character icons block the lower part of the screen
My apartment’s wifi crashed today and won’t come back
horizontal it good
all just placeholder, all the characters are unlocked right now, but once i start finalizing the art and moves for the characters ill start to set them up as unlockable with XP and start to introduce new chars
every time i hit a character high enough into the air, they should die like in super smash
will try to have a fix for that in the next day or so! Thanks for reporting!
chill mate, this is an early beta
im giving my feedback
ceiling kills are possible but the ceiling is pretty high atm
i... just typed the same thing like a little earlier
Is this a bug? - all fighters have random white pixels, not the multicolored ones showed in pictures
ill fix it up in the next update
also for some reason, when ur sliding or dashing its kind've hard to move
like there's a delay when you let go of your key
can you screenshot?
Definitely still working on this!
it moves you a set distance- thats why dash feels awkward. if it was merely a movement speed buff with non instant turnaround, it'd feel more comfortable to many a platfighter's hands
I’ll have to go back on my laptop later, I just checked on mobile and they look fine
how about the sprinting
It must be something with that device
Bulko can interupt his dash 😄
And Hulko too, I think
additionally, the bots sometimes run off stage out of nowhere
The bots are REAL dumb haha
Even the Hard ones
its on the cards to work on for sure
same deal.
One last thing
the player doesn't have the same physics that are applied to the bots?
its like ur impossible to be launched
even when ur 999%
i think, you can cancel knockback with attacks @silent acorn @short zephyr @lavish storm
i mean i just tested it and its not launching me
thats my theory
lemme test this rq
Editing messages doesn’t ping :P
so its cool but then the in some maps the lower screen gets disturnbed by the swuare thingies
i think, you can cancel knockback with attacks @silent acorn @short zephyr @lavish storm there i copy pasted now it should ping
https://ninjas.io/lobby.html?room=PURECASEDEER let's test it eh?
yo this game lwk fire
Another issue: (also something with my device) Chat can fall off of the screen and won’t show the newest messages
that could be a bug, i will have a look asap! Might not be till morning tho i was up late working on this and up early doing more haha 😄
It’ll be a few hours before I can go back on it and screenshot
thank you for this! ill get it fixed for sure
Known and being looked at; its a product of us making the chat window scalable but it deciding to scale itself when it shouldn't
aynone know what's the best characters?
so far Bulko is best for DMG, Squareee is best for movement / agility, and ninja is best all-around
CURRENTLY I'm a big Bulko/Hulko stan
but there will be lots of changes to come nothing is final right now!
Haven't lost a game since swapping to him as my main
Yes, you were dominating!
fight me?
Balancing is definitely an issue, but that will take time
Link me!
Good luck!
If this doesn’t do better than Kart Bros, I’ll be disappointed
I don't get the concept 🤔
GG
HE DOES TOO MUCH DAMAGE
haha
ggs
Is it like wrestle bros but with ninjas?😂
Smash Bros
lemme try hulko
Okie
We just had a Mario Cart knockoff and now it’s Smash Bros…
🤣
And that ghost bug was crazy 😂
depends on how well polished it becomes. has lots of potential
@short zephyr you were glitching through the walls in teh spike pit
Yeah that can happen 🙁 its on the agenda!
It should be fine if we don't put hooks on the edges
fighter particle accelarator?
Harrison, Arendi, and I think Nate were stuck in ghost mode event though they had not died yet
Smash bros
also ledges look really good right now as anyone could click downair for a guaranteed stock with good timing over the edge
gg
gg
Not gonna use the in-game chat cuz it's kinda being offensive atm ;3
bulko might be the strat
This game looks promising-ill stick around
ninja ninjo same thing ig
yeah, the problem with heavyweights is the fact that they should struggle to be good. If they're just tuned up hard to kill high power fighters there's no reason not to use them. @short zephyr @silent acorn @lavish storm
I think the issue with Bulko atm is that he can ignore heavy knockback by doing moves in the air, so he jsut sticks around forever and does lots of damage. We're implementing a bunch of changes in the future so stay tuned for balance!
whoaaa hulko does a lot of damage
the cards at the bottom are a little annoying since they block the view. but im pretty sure ppl have already said that.
also, could i have a character request? no expectations for it to be filled out, but I love this character's moveset too much to ignore. Could you make a similar fighter to Dragonfish from monster battlegrounds please? https://weentermakesgames.itch.io/monster-battlegrounds @short zephyr @silent acorn @lavish storm
well that be copyrighted
Will try that game out and could surely come up with something to get close for ya 😊
Yo Minty
why did one of my opponment cubes just jump off the edge voluntarily xD
they do that sometimes
imma be the non ai chatacter cuz squaree W
especially if theres a hole between you and them they just won't jump
they all look ai tbh
i think squaree is nates charactwer
i just love the combo game and special inputs (super bite, fireball dx) a lot as they add a layer of complexity to the character
what do yall think the best character is?
i only say squaree the best
was i suppost to die when i killed thr monster
we both feel at same time
Did you fall
I don't wanna be the one to say it but, perhaps a skill issue?
nah, after doing ||lost lace|| hitless on every single crest ive had enough talk of silk issues
i believe you bro
this guy be mad
sorry had to restart the server for a couple things. but i tried a camera fix for the bottom player pictures
bro is un killable now
i got to day 10 xD
i had to restart the server so active games might have been messed up sorry
i see
oh
do i need to start over now
just the match yeah sorry, but you hsould have your quick play progress still
nope its gone
sorry dug!
😭
Blue wizard with a new game!!
ahh yes it starts us over
I may try this hmm
I mean its the starting, everything bugs in starting
fancy
its only been a month or 2 of dev, just wanted to share to see what people thought, but still very very early
Even one of my dc bots took 2 months to make it free from all bugs
i love the game
cuz its fun
atleast i have bwd games i can play that i can win at
shell has issue with me still like lagging randomly LOL and i dont got good aim
sorry Dug someone is trying to hack the server. they cant just let us have nic e things
i had to restart again after putting some protections in place
also ir keeps reseting my days
ill figure that out tomorrow. i might just take the game down for the night while i solidify the security a bit.
if you plan on adding unlockable characters may as well add a login so we don't lose progress
yep thats the plan!
Bruh, I'll give this a go soon
omg i finally beat it
here's a simple example
fireball dx -> dash -> nair -> downtilt -> super bite
i think he is turning the server off till tomorrow
^^
I’m loving the game so far, great job, Nate!
I’m a Smash Bros sweat 😅 😜
what's your main?
I’ve only used a few, I wasn’t able to okay for a few hours :P
for ssbu
hulko
👍
they both have huge kill power, but since there's almost no endlag on attacks there's no downside. @lavish storm the whole point of smash attacks is high risk high reward (kill power), or to be used as a punish for shield breaks
and without that endlag it's a little favoring towards those types of characters
appreciate this feedback for sure, will be making balance and mechanic tweaks ongoing till it feels great 😄
It’s really hard to outplay them with way less damage, you really need to dash around them perfectly
then again, early game fighting metas do lean towards simpler characters until the skill ceiling raises. If you nerf him now keep in mind he may never be viable again. An excellent example of this is Super Smash Bros Ultimate's Ike. @lavish storm
you have much to teach me lol
brotha the character profiles are AI
It’s an alpha game I’m building on my own. I’m testing it, the profile images are temp.
You’re doing great, don’t worry
@lavish storm this is what all characters look like in the Lobby + In game (only on this device though - laptop)
Hmm interesting it’s like the color switching isn’t working correctly. Can you try clearing cache? What is the version number on the bottom?
ALPHA v0.107.1
Cool that’s latest. So you’re all good I should be able to figure it out in the am!
I’ll clear cache and try again 👍
Thanks for reporting!!
https://ninjas.io/lobby.html?room=LAZYWORKLYNX does anyone want to play? 👀
is there a reason why the max is 10?
u lost ur aim and got future sight
ok
hiiiiii!
Thoughts after playing for a bit:
- movement is interesting / speed
- no tutorial or I didn't find it
- more (will change)
don't give me too much credit, it's your game.
cool tech i found- you can input a strong attack while moving or in a dash
Heck yeah you can 😛
Me too ;3

I keep making suggestions to Nate and getting the "you realize I am just one man and not Nintendo, right?" speech
me three
Just running some server changes so game might be up and down a bunch today. Sorry for the interruptions!
ahh i gotcha. its alr
harrison
?
the game isnt loading for me
Just running some server changes so game might be up and down a bunch today. Sorry for the interruptions!
No worries
the copy-paste is criminal
XD
is it a new update?
just trying to improve performance across the board
in the words of a certain youtuber "do it again"
Wherever you go, this square prompt pops up, is it only me or everybody?
Causes a lil hinderence
i would expect nothing but breakage today sadly, theres a lot happening to get the live server working better, sorry!
Haha, all good!
thx for checking!
No worries
yeah they're kinda in the way
working on that right now - quickest fix is to adjust the window size till it works for you
less wide will be better
fixed. capsules should now scale better according to window dimensions.
nate
can u ask wizups if he wants to b my 100000th kill
ill ask 🙂
Update!
- Can no longer move when doing a smash attack. (tap direction then attack quickly after)
- Squareee can still move while doing smash attack, other characters might get this ability depending on their final balancing and attacks.
- Can no longer move when doing a ground pound (tap down + attack in quick succession)
- Quick Play is now offline, so you wont be affected by server updates, etc while playing quick play.
- Quick play now remembers your progress between sessions.
- Lobby navigation improvements (can return to lobby from mid-match and end match as a host, or rejoin, or become a spectator.)
- Can become a spectator in the lobby to just watch the fight happen. Spectators take up a room slot.
- Chat bugs and UX improvements
- Camera and UI sizing improvements.
- Bugs fixed! Optimizations made!
Hope youre having fun 🙂
nate does wiz wana be my 100000th kill?
You already asked
and he already replied
I asked 🙂 Its all up to wiz now. 🙂
thanks
harrison, can i still get the blue shell grenade
🫡
@lavish storm did you fix the top blastzone? it feels better. Also wanted to talk about the possibility of uptilt, if you removed up as the jump button (to bind it as a key somewhere else) and instead made it a directional attack inputlike the others that adds the possiblity for upsmash and uptilt which might become crucial tools for some characters
Just wondering Wiz, is that have a link with the Brawler role ?
Okay so first impressions:
- Really fun, controls are easy to figure out
- Overall the goal seems very vague - obviously it's very similar to Smash but if someone's never played Smash then they're probably gonna be very confused. For example, one might be confused as to what the percentages mean if the whole goal is to knock someone off?
- I love the simplicity and the pixel style is great, it just feels a little misleading when the title is all hand drawn and cartoony and cool shading and stuff, and then you get chucked in and you're a pixel blob. They're both cool on their own, but they seem very separate
- (Pretty much just personal preference) but I'm not a HUGE fan of the arcade-like physics and wish there was more realistic gravity/floatiness rather than you just pressing a button and going in that direction. I'm not sure what the word is but I'm sure you understand what I mean (again, it's clearly meant to be an arcade style game so realistic floaty physics wouldn't perfectly fit but oh well)
- Aside from my small nitpicks I really had fun, super awesome game overall I think (and it also kinda gives me vibes of that one multiplayer tag game on Poki and a few other sites which I really like cuz it's so simple lmao)
Anyways yeah that's my impressions from my first 5-10 mins playing, can't wait to see it unfold 🗣️
-# Zacky whacky back with the yapatron ahh paragraphs
Issue with this is we want to try to minimize the amount of keybinds to keep it simple. While ahving up-smash/tilt is useful, keep in mind that Smashbros actually doesn't REALLY have that by default either and is usually needed to turn off Up-To-Jump in a PROFILE customization for individual profiles XD
Being active in the channel will likely result in Nate gracing you with the role 😛
👀
@lavish storm I'm having problems with the knockback. For example, if i input a forward smash, my opponent should not go up. Once I even spiked my opponent with an up air just because he had been positioned just on the underside of my hitbox. In other words, at some point could you associate certain attacks with knockback directions so that they kill properly and earlier at 100% instead of 500%-700%, please?
also that's fair
Jumping over people and attacking them from the air with a fast character is a very powerful strategy (my opinion 😅) so an up tilt could be extremely helpful to counter that
But it is one of the only ways light characters can beat heavy characters, so a counter might imbalance things
I think if we changed the percents for kills, we'd need to lower overall damage (which IS an option, just noting) cuz currently Bulko can get someone to 140% in like 3 seconds
The directional thing might be a fix as I submitted a bug last week before you guys saw it that Up-Air specifically was hitting people in the direction the attacker was facing and not the direction they were actually hit, so might be that now up-air is jsut shooting them in whatever direction they're hit, which could be down 😛
will look at it!
i think i was using squaree or fridge
testing it right now w/squaree and it seems like the knockback is based on the positioning of the opponent relative to my up air.
Yes thats what I said
ok i didn't understand. sorry!
All good haha
Does this happen when you use an incognito window/other browser on that laptop?
I’m not sure, I’ll check sometime!
Oh i see, thx
Cheers Zax - The idea is some kind of quick tutorial for brand new players to just establish the basics:
- Attack your opponents without falling off
- Do damage to opponents to make them easier to knock off
- Last ninja standing wins
Stylistally most things are placeholders for now! You'll see that all come together with more updates
100% appreciate the feedback @steep crag and @edgy acorn @left junco - tutorial definitely in the plans, and while the smash and knockback will definitely improve, i want to see if i can find a nice balance between familiarity and uniqueness (as long as it makes sense and is fun). Will keep tuning!
new anims getting finalized - too excited to not share 🙂
Love that ninja drop kick
Ninja and bulko will be the first 2 chars with fully complete animations 😄 then on to the next ones. I think Negative Zero might be next. 🙂
Looks great!
i love it!
🔥
super addicting game, very simple, 9/10
are you doing the animation on paper?
thanks for playing buddy!
Oh no, its been 100% pixel art so far, using aeseprite - Dagopls is the man doing the animations!
Oh yeah that sounds really good
One thing I really like is in Super Mario Odyssey, Cappy gives vague hints as to what you might want to do if you're stuck - for example, if you're stuck at the bottom of a large wall, Cappy might vaguely mention throwing Cappy then bouncing off of him to gain extra height
It's great cuz it doesn't give too much away, and because it's Mario's sidekick giving the hints, it doesn't feel forced in
Yea! Love that 😊 would be rad to have an old ninja sensei yelling commands at you on the intro level
My favoritre bros game is football bros.
But all of them are pretty good
My favorite is kart bros and ninja bros
kart bros is just a rip off of mario kart
yeah
I don't think Ninjas is a bros game (unless I'm mistaken)
True but you have to remember - MK is only available on an expensive console and only after also buying the game. Having it on web makes it far more accessible to everyone
I think the thing that's most appealing about the Bros games isn't their originality, but rather the simplicity and accessibility
its gonna be hilarious when nintendo takes action
Kartbros is like mario kart in the same way that mario is like sonic; of course theres similarities, but theyre legally distinct
Mario Kart, Sonic Racing, Crash Team racing, Chocobo Racing, pick your poison 😛
If the mere idea of a game was copyrighted, the industry wouldn't have existed past the first 10 years
It's no more illegal than any of those hundreds of ripoff Minecraft games (which are far more blatant copies anyways)
*Which aren't even illegal to begin with haha
doesn't stop nintendo from trying to copyright ideas tho 😭
ive noticed that if your fighting a smaller character whos at high percentage and you hit them up, sometimes the'll teleport to the side or smth. i assume it has to do with collision and stuff but i wasn't sure if it was a bug or not
I think whats happening is the bots dont have the same "ceiling detection" that players do so if you punch them up into a solid floor / ceiling from underneath it, they will 'warp' to the nearest other side that has no blocks... so just a bug, ill get it fixed in the next update tho!
Great, thanks!
Anything else you guys really want to see in the next version? My current priorities are:
- proper move hierarchies (making sure each move has a "counter")
- better bots
- general bug fixes
But big picture stuff in the pipeline:
- Proper progression + level up rewards
- Special move(s) for each character.
- Accounts for saving progress
- Music + Sound Effects
- More Animations and Character Art
The prob with that is the game is verrrrrrrrry hackable. And i see all the stuff the shell team goes through with fighting hacks and i feel like thats no life for me haha
Very true lol
You can basically just spend whole weeks not doing anything cool to improve the game but just fighting hacks because a bunch of the email you get is people complaining about hacks 😄
AAnotherthinihopetoseeisbeingabletobacktosaydayandpracticeonthatspecifcmaporbot
Ahh
That but with spaces
Or maybe just a way to select certain maps and bots
hmmm yeah basically like "presets" for map + bot combos?
Ye smth like that
Let me think on that, i actually dont think it would be too hard... the hard part is finding somewhere to put it in the UI. Picking the Day might be the easier way to go, like maybe in the character select when you choose Quick Play, theres a dropdown box for "Start on Day X" - then on the quick play match complete screen i can have a 'Play Again" option that lets you replay that battle again
so you can always go out to the title screen and choose "Quick PLay" then "Start on Day 5" and if you want to change your day, just back to title screen again and choose it again
cool ill do that up for ya! 😄
YAlrthnx
Thx for playing 🙂
hahah 😄
The square doesn’t appear the same anymore, it works the perfect now! 😀
the info text takes up most of the screen while the actual menu is squashed off to the side. I'm guessing this isn't intentional?
also ive noticed in quickplay that sometimes you will just lose control over your character. it might just be lag for me because idk the cause
Nope, all that stuff should be on the bottom and you ahve to scroll for it; does it look like that every time you refresh?
yes
Whats your screen resolution? It looks fine to me
how do i check that
Right-click on your desktop, click Display Settings or something similar, then look for Resolution, should be a number like 1280x720
1536x1024
Does it look like that in an incog window?
Even using that resolution it looks fine for me, so maybe its an extension thing
edge, but no incog
So it DOES look like that in edge, but does NOT in incog?
It could just be a cache thing - if the css file is cached/old it will display like that since none of the rules to format the text are there. Control+Shift+Refresh or forcing a refresh whatever process that is should fix it.
New Ninjas Update:
- Better scaling on smaller screens (chromebooks) so everything fits into the screen at once
- ability to choose previous battles as your starting battle when doing quick play (thanks @severe flax !)
- also cleared cloudflare cache so hopefully CSS should update properly
sounds cool

Anyone want to play
hey, it's fixed! Thanks!
I wish that during the character select screen you could see what the attacks are as you input them in the screen, that way you can compare move sets without ever having to load a match. It'd also help introduce new characters to the community, I think.
Not a priority rn tho
Oh like if you could use the arrow keys + attack, etc to actually control the little preview animation? That would be cool I’m gonna add that to the wishlist 😊
yep I was gonna send that and forgot to. Happened when I left a match, just sent me to that screen
@lavish storm if this info is of any use to you ^^^
This happened to me too! what were you doing to him?
OOh nice, yeah thats a bug were still trying to track down.. if you know what you did to make that happen it will help with me fixing it!
i think if you clear cache it should clear up / display normally!
I beilive i was juggling him in the airand hit him right when he landed? Or he hit me
But i honestly have no idea
This ninja game kind of reminds me of a game i used to play back in primary school that was called Epic Ninja and we would play it on scratch
Omg plagarism moment?
This happens to me twice but when I ground pounded it like wouldn’t stop ground pounding and I had to reset the game
@short zephyr is going to be spamming ground pound all day now thanks to this 😂
You got me! This game is actually a parody of that ninja scratch game. No other games are referenced in the making of this game. None! 😇
If youve ever watched me play, you'd know I was already doing this ;D Bulk SMASH!
pretty cool
Amazing!
Yes yes haha.
Still WIP but Monster is comin along!! ❤️
Done! ❤️👌
You removed most of your roles 😆
Spring cleaning 🧽
😂
apollotheosis muted ritzler_2989 indefinitely Reason: scams.
I have pings set up in here and #🕵・cheater-report 😆
im stuck like this on ninja.io
this is level 7 i think
im good now i js refreshed the website
are we changing the animation/hitboxes seperately or updating all the characters at once?
Doubl for eggforcer 🙋♂️
lmaooo
Do you know how long you need to be in the community for?
And the trust level
you’re just soooo active
I joined Shell Discord on September 3, 2025
Doesn’t matter how active I am if I’m so new 😭
wow
I just realised that
I thought u were an old player
You’re more OG than me 😆
I started playing like 10 months ago
ohhh

Still trying to track down what causes that. If you can figure out what you did that makes it happen I would be grateful 😊 will fix it as soon as I can!
Animations will be updated in batches as they’re completed, Ninja and Bulko should be fully done this week! Hitboxes and attack hitboxes are unique per fighter so will be updated with the animations. Any tweaks you think should be made once they’re implemented just let me know and I will take into serious consideration!
Everyone, id like to introduce @hollow sluice who is the man behind the amazing fighter animations!!!
Some nice work @hollow sluice - excited to see the other characters
hullo sir!
Helloo all
Hello Arendi
Hey Double, hru ?
Great, thank you for asking. How about you? 👀
Oh good to hear
And i'm alright, did a 2h30 nap and took dinner at 9:40pm 😭
How was your nap?
Long ngl, but good. I kinda feel less tired rn
Good Gravy! Still WIP but skullface animations are looking 
ooooo the shading behind the mask looks sick as
you think ill get banned by Harrison for posting this?
Skullfaces victory post hahah
*pose
It looks like 2 fingers so it’s okay 😆
I think that Nate has gone rogue
I wanted to ban you for the meme but didn't want to deal with the fallout so you're safe
for now
lol
Lol
Lol
😆
that was kinda close
I'm sure he's seen worse 😭 🙏
I say blacklisted terms all the time (I still get caught up by the "f- you" blacklist haha)
i don't want to desmotivate the devs but ninjas is prolly the worst game you've ever done
its simple, ai, boring, no-mechanics, the game architecture itself is quite weird
@left junco ts not reddit
but u can argue it
do you play against bots or friends?
bots
it's a lot better if you have a few friends to play with
r there public lobbies?
you can create games
nope, need to actually have people to play with
i mean its just an smash rip-off
Playing with Arendi, Wiz, Harrison, and Nate was peak 😄 🔥
I said earlier in this chat, but every game is a rip-off of earlier games
yeah
nothing is "original" anymore, but thats good
bwd has done a lot of dope games over the yrs, my feeling is that they have recently being in kind of a downfall
i don't think so
theyre doing games to survive
Name me an original game haha
thats good for them
that is recent
It also is not super popular haha
o i didn't realize u were a dev lmao
yeah
at least on my school a lot of ppl used to play it
and still play it i believe
Doesnt have to be one of our games; I'll accept any recent popular game that is original for the purpose of this conversation
oh
sidequest (funk) r doing cool original games
not quite popular tho
yet
but still i don't think it is the originallity what kills, "remixing" is good if you enhance the original product
to my mind
i understand ninjas is in very early developement n y'all (devs) will work hard on it
Yeah if you look at the "Popular" section of Crazygames, half of them look like the ads youve seen in mobile games 5 years ago. Tis just the way of browser games
yeah i understand that
hard to reinvent the wheel while keeping it playable on a school chromebook
gotta keep file size down, which means simplicity
they r on web
they make original games
they r like poki top rn with their game narrow.one
Fr, that was cool
ah yes, I started playing Shell right before the Into the Shadows update and it was a Hot game at the time, then it fell off and came back around the Christmas update
Just checked their site, their first two games were the same game with a different theme (which is jsut a basic platformer) and their therd game was a merge game
but thats not were most revenue comes from
n1 and ducklings the most i believe
Well i understand if u r kind of mad at me, bc u have reason to be i don't pretend to judge im not a dev and i no nothing bout game industry, just wanted to know.
Not mad at all!
Sorry if it came off that way, i swear I'm jsut talking haha
Just trying to make the point that its hard to be completely original in the web game field, and even in the big Steam/Console field
yeah but bwd only makes web games bc their based on js right?
If you look at the game that literally won Game of the Year at the game awards this year and swept with the most awards won in other categories, Expedition 33 has the turn-based system of Final Fantasy, the UI of Persona, the dodging of Super Mario RPG, etc
you have to learn from the best
We make web games because thats the market we chose; We also have some phone games and some other thigns
and then implement them into your own game
So if looking for a fast-paced 2D fighting game, Ninjas looking to Smash for inspiration is pretty logical as I would say it's one of if not THE best game in that field
yeah ik, just wanted to imply it looked at lit no worked enough
that said, we don't want to just clone and re-skin, so we are looking for some things to set it apart, and like you said, it's early development and only worked on by one person who unfortunately has some other stuff going on and cant touch ninjas for a bit, but if you have any suggestions or specific criticisms, definitely drop them here!
Well with that i guess its good work if just one person was involved
if theres something specific you don't like about it, let us know! Something you wish it had? let us know!
But "this game sucks" unfortunately doesn't help us make it better
(nate)
"its jsut like smash" doesn't help either, especially when other people who like smash are telling us to make it MORE like smash 😛
Yes, lol
Who doesn't like a good round of Smash Bros?
I am also one of those who like smash and keep suggesting smash-adjacent additions haha
no yeah I think if it is going to be an smash clone/ inspired game it should be more like smash
i said earlier that ro my mind remixing is good to enhance the original product
We also are slightly limited as to keep it on a computer, we want to keep buttons down, so we really only have WASD and Space bar to work with
ik enhancing it is difficult but i guess for a free web game, trying to be as good as smash its also good
so it's a pretty simple game
Nate wants to add projectiles on some characters, but thats a later thing
I definitely like having a big move set, but then again...
i also have a completely unrelated question, my lil brother really likes cc and ik bwd owns/supports cosmic cow or cc. Now that cosmic cow team will completely change will bwd still own it
if it is right to ask that on this channel
So yeah, if you want, we can play a couple rounds and you can let me know if theres anything you like/dislike after playing with a person @upper widget?
ok
We never owned it, we just helped produce it; I don't think we are involved in much with it
oh ok
I'll join in if that's okay ✌️
the biggest suggestion I have right now is longer names!
well i just discovered im terrible at it outside of bot matches
haha
Yeah its a lot harder against people
There also was a bit of network stuff going on, I noticed a epriod where yous topped movingand my timer froze, so mighta been server or mighta just been me, but still pretty early game
yeah same happened to me
and this is still an issue for me :P
also seems to be on this pc as well, so it might be a Brave thing
Does it happen in an incognito window? Nate was wondering if you had an extension that was somehow messing with it
hmm, I opened it on an incognito window and they were still bugged
Okay, will check Brave
Harrison do u mind if i ask you some bwd related stuff in other channel not to bother ppl wanting to chat bout ninjas
just stuff im interested on
yeah, it was okay on my phone so it must be a browser-related issue
@short zephyr
I probably gotta hop off for a bit and do some other work, can't host a public forum too long 😛
oh ok
basically just wanted to ask bout bwd's position on ai as it has recently been used on some of ur games
Oh we hate it; worst thing ever; we only use it to show how much we hate it
xD
(is sarcasm, because if we use it, we probably are okay with it :P)
(totally going to work on the ML codes because Elan came back 😉)
Do we think it is the FUTURE of game development? no, people will always be better than AI; but for prototyping something quick, getting some placeholder art, etc, its prettty handy
no i mean if u just used it to save resources or ur belive is that it can compete with real art on ur games
yeah basically that
thats cool
i think im more bothered of it being used for thumbnails than real game art
i have played kart bros and its a cool game, but if i just saw the game at an browser games page i'll won't probabbly play it
I think if it's being used for a permanent thing, it's a little less okay, but the medium is sorta important too. If the new GTA used AI backgroudns etc that would not be a good look, but if some 2 person studio made a web game with some AI backgrounds, I'm fine
i was asking more than for hate for getting players
Similarly a game at version 0.12 using AI is way more forgiveable than a game launching it's 1.0
Anyways, back to work for me, I'm out!
using GTA as an example is a little weird because that game probably won't even come out :P
ok bye!
Thank you for your time!
i think the weirness of that examples resides on gta's popularity rather than "it won't even come out :P"
I'm just joking 😆
yup
Oh sick I might try it out at some point
Yeah it's a good game
You can try to ping me, so we do a private game
New game! Still early development but we wanted to make it known it was in the works to get feedback / first impressions and to help figure out where to prioritize dev.
i have a feeling nate doesn't like ryen
is peak
This guy looks familiar
I was thinking the same thing!
Same here
i really hope that guy doesn't turn into a serial killer
who's that
yea
k4
oh ok so nvm this #🥷・ninjas・io message
oh yeah i see it now
jack doohan fr
looks like jack doohan to me
CHRIS HEMSWORTH
-# 
he is the biggest redditor in the world
good kitten yes

.....
he didn't 😞
been waiting for months... Elan just needs to give me my staff stamp At Least because he has those already
;}
Just wanted to peek in to let you guys know that ive been tied up in other projects atm but hope to get some more stuff done on ninjas.io in the next couple months. Dagopls has been killing it on the character art + animations and ill have the full batch of new art and animations added once theyre all done. There are a surprise couple of new fighters too, but itll all come in a big update that has:
- New fighter art + animations
- Reward tiers (unlock new fighters and rewards as you level up)
- Bot improvements (more difficulty, more fun)
- Better level designs + art.
ANY feedback on the current version @ https://ninjas.io is always welcome! 🙂

lol
xD
Oh noice. Reminds me i haven't play the game since a few time. I will try to do some games this week on phone
❤️ i havent been able to work on it much the past few weeks but soon!
it may or may not be a parody of "chun li" from sf2. 🙂 Her name is "fun li"
I'm not sure if i know that
Oh noice 👀
someone from Street Fighter 🤫
lol
Ah ye i've never play it so idk
Btw hru n8 ?
ooo, it's very popular
"n8" 😆
Good shortcut
😂
Yeah i've already heard things about that game but just never tried it
Yup
ah, okay
Ty, but i'm not the one who got the idea
yw, well I would never have thought of that:D
Oh thx
Im doing well! How you doing?
I'm alright just a bit exhausted because i skied all the day, thx for asking
:O
@cunning carbon
Very w game
FRRR
❤️ preciated - lots of updates to come as soon as i have more time to work on the lil thing 🙂
thanks n8 my good m8
xD
Nice to hear
Why is this just a rip off of super smash bros.
everything is a ripoff of something else
Tekken is a ripoff of streetfighter
Im actually ripping off Brawlhalla to get justice for them ripping off Playstation All-Stars which ripped off Smash Bros, so its all good.
#nate4bard
never got a reply about my account
Pretty sure you did
i agree
@short zephyrhi. um there is no sound in the game
oh yeah, there isn't... (@lavish storm instead)
Very weird
This still hasn't been fixed yet by the way (I know you're busy with other projects though 🙃)
doesnt look like that on mine
it's a bug with my pc, I know it's not normal
I have seen the game on mobile and know how it looks 😛
brave
I don't really care about the pixels being off, thanks though! ✌️
ive never even heard of brave
lol
Its not PC, its browser-based
but yeah, Nate's been pretty busy and hasn't been able to look at much Ninjas stuff of late, but he has a board of all the issues and that one is on there!
Alright, thanks for the help!
Yeah still need to do up some Sound effects, but hopefully soon! Thanks for playing in the meantime 🙂
a lil teaser 🙂
