Keyboard & Mouse

Keyboard & Mouse controls are similar to games like Soldat and Abuse. You use the mouse to aim/target and the keyboard to move. The primary mouse button will attack using your currently selected weapon, scroll will change weapons, and the secondary mouse button will release your grappling line. If you have a one button mouse or simply prefer to use the keyboard the number keys will switch weapons and the space key will activate your kaginawa grappling line.

Control Pad [OOYA]

Control Pads will give the players faster control abilities than keyboard & mouse, but have the disadvantage of not having the constant and absolute targeting of the mouse. To overcome this the secondary analog stick is centred on the player and moves the targeting reticle to create a vector between the player and the reticle. Move the stick quickly to the right and your attacks will aim right. Move the secondary analog stick as far as you can to the top right and throw a bomb and your ninja will throw as hard as he/she can up and to the right. Let off the secondary analog stick and your ninja will attack directly ahead of them.

Android Touch Screen

Android touch screen uses multi-touch and gestures. Control will have a more direct feel than keyboard & mouse and a much more direct feel than control pad, but will be a little more complex and players may have a speed advantage over physical controls. For Android the control layout will be as follows:

• Tapping attacks at the point where the tap event occurred. Tap on an enemy and your ninja will attack toward them.
• Touching and holding with one finger moves your ninja. Your ninja will always move toward the first finger touching the screen.
• Touch & Hold events from the second finger on the screen activates your kaginawa grappling line. After grappling you can swing your ninja or pull them up or down the line by moving the first finger on the screen. Releasing the first finger you had on the screen (your movement finger) will reel your ninja up to the grappling line as fast as possible and your ninja will hold at the grappling point until you place a finger on the screen to start moving again or release your grappling finger. Releasing your grappling finger will release your line and your ninja will release off of walls or ceilings they are sticking to.
• Switching weapons and using items is done by hitting buttons and hot spots on the screen. Items are on the top, weapon changes are on the bottom right.
• Swiping left or right will cause your ninja to dash. Swipe up and your ninja will jump. Swipe down and your ninja will duck.
