About this game
A party game for 2-4 players! - Now with a Single Player Story as a free update!
Survive increasing hordes of enemies in this top-down shooter, switch between four unique gun types, and utilize wind-blasts, spider webs, and black holes to show these baddies who's boss!
Features:
Two maps and game modes: Fight alongside friends in the darkened Night Town district or try to outlive your couch-mates in the deep pit of The Dungeon!
Windblast alternative fire: All characters come equipped with a windblast to blow ninjas away (or closer to your adversaries!)
Four characters: Choose from four of the most well known fictional characters to have ever graced the page, each with their own unique starting gun!
Items change up the gameplay: Pick up guns and health for a boost of power, or sticky spider webs and deadly black holes to decide the flow of battle!
The Fall Of The Public Domain - Episode One: The Call
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit's an average rabbit with an average job and an average sense that things- you know- things could be better.
Until the simple act of trying to go on a date mysteriously transports him to a dark, dusty cave where he meets a plethora of mysterious public domain characters and one enigmatic outlier with a strange agenda and a mountain of miniscule ninjas at his disposal. Who is Han Gorou? Why is he being followed by Merlin the Magician? What's with the mysterious young lady with the missing name? And is it AT ALL POSSIBLE that Oswald can avoid perpetual nuisance Mickey Mouse for longer than a single episode?
Only one way to find out.
Context
Ninjas- the more there are, they easier they are to kill. One hundred ninjas? No problem at all for your average protagonist. But when the one ninja shows up, you better watch your backside!
The Gyaku Ninja clan has finally taken notice and are using this Law of Fiction to their advantage, increasing their power to take over the planet! And now the Gods of Fiction are balancing the odds by sending their most iconic warriors to stop them!
Take control of some of the greatest fictional characters of all time:
Winnie the Pooh - Equipped with his iconic pop rifle and not nearly enough sense to not use it!
W. Sherlock Holmes - Deadly pistol in hand and aching for a distraction to tide him over to the next mystery.
Alice Liddel - Brought an Uzi she found on the floor. Odd! but stranger things have happened to her- and recently!
Sun Wukong - Heaven has chosen a unique way to punish his insolence this time, but the Monkey King's brought a grenade launcher to assist him!
??? - More characters with subsequent updates!
Join the fray while it's still early and be part of the creation of one of the greatest narrative brawls to have ever been squeezed between a front and back cover!

THE FALL OF THE PUBLIC DOMAIN - Episode One: The Call
After a year of (admittedly intermittent) work, The Fall of the Public Domain has finally begun. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit begins an adventure full of mystery, danger, and an existential threat unlike anything the world fiction has ever known before!Thank you so much for not getting mad at me for the period of time when this looked like an abandoned cash-grab. Sitting and letting people think Inverse Ninjas was just another Heartbound or gag game meant to capitalize. But... to some degree it was. At least for the brief moments after the failed Kickstarter when I thought "hey this thing didn't make enough money guess I'll just leave the people who bought it originally out to dry."Well I'm not gonna keep patting myself on the back. It's still an incredibly humble thing, The Fall. I hope you guys enjoy it anyway.The game's going to remain 5 bucks until all 7 episodes are out.Thanks for everything guys. I hope this is some small consolation.Read full article on Community Announcements (DetSpooky)Patch NotesOfficial

The Fall of the Public Domain

But I decided to try to make the game anyway on a $0 budget. It will be a humble single-player campaign with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit as the sole playable character. I've been working on it for some time, trying to scrape together time and money to put toward it. I also occasionally post about it on Twitter at @InverseNinjas And the first episode will be a free update to the game (which will remain $5) that comes out either June or July. See ya there, folks.Read full article on Community Announcements (DetSpooky)AnnouncementsOfficial
