Here’s one for all you old schoolers – Wizard Smash: “One wizard’s quest to rid the land of a curse by hitting it in the face”
Controls:
Movement: arrow keys
Swing mace: arrow keys
Mace control mode: z
Jump: x
Exit door: down arrow
Mechanics:
It’s a pretty standard retro platformer, except the player has no attack and is instantly killed when touching an enemy or enemy projectile from any direction. In order to attack, you need to swing the dispel mace into an enemy. This is primarily done by positioning, since the mace is always orbiting freely around the wizard.

The levels are randomly generated on every playthrough, and a simplified AI director is responsible for positioning enemies.
The green bar at the top is your progress through the evil keep, which goes up when you’re going the right way and down when you’ve been forced to backtrack (IE hit an enemy). As it fills up, special enemies become more frequent. When it hits 8 full boxes, there will be a boss battle, but that’s not in there yet
The red bar is the final boss’ HP. It’s always displayed, since it only goes back up if you’ve been forced to backtrack a lot. Of course this is all speculation at this point
Enemies:
Hench Toast: toaster minions. Will either march back and forth or shoot burnt toast in your direction.
Hatba: Flying hats that swoop around
Lampet: Lamps that hang off the ceiling and shoot lightning
Zombies: Spawn in large groups and march towards the player, jumping over short obstacles.
Monkey air raids: A swarm of winged monkeys flies across the screen. The top and bottom row of walkable tiles are guaranteed to be safe from monkeys.
The wicked witch of the worst: The witch that made the curse! Casting fire magic makes her lower her shield for a few seconds.
This is a difficult and unforgiving platformer with a lot of humor. The game regularly feeds you little gems like “expect to die a lot” and it’s true.
Play Wizard Smash on Ninja Kiwi now!

This week we’re proud to bring you a really sweet new action RPG game. Vertical Drop Heroes offers up the perfect blend of RPG with the “falling down a big hole” genre.
In the game you start out as a regular Joe but you “rescue” heroes locked in cages (stamp on them to smash through and free). As you do this your character will take on the class of the hero you freed. There are 5 different classes that are free-able but releasing heroes of the same class as you are currently will allow you to level up that class making you more resilient and more powerful.
Completing levels (getting to the exit) allows you to progress as well as unlock new character masks. In addition there are 30 different magical artifacts and 3 gameplay modes including, wait for it, multiplayer (shared keyboard) which is exceptionally fun
Trust me, play Vertical Drop Heroes now!

We are proud to announce another Ninja Kiwi game on the iTunes app store!
Bloons Super Monkey was a massive hit on the web and now it’s available for iPhone, iPad and iTouch on the iTunes app store. Use your finger on the touch screen to move Super Monkey around to pop as many bloons per wave as possible. As with the web game, each bloon releases power blops that can be collected and spent on powerful upgrades for your Super Monkey.
Can you pass all 15 waves?

It’s been submitted to the Apple store, this means it’s now in their hands, hopefully about a week to 1.5 away now.
September 20th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
thank you chris. but any updates now? i am in love with this idea and i would do anything to play it or even be a tester. does apple even talk to you about when they will put it up? or will they just randomly put the game on the app store?
September 20th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
o, and by the way, i really did buy an ipod touch just for this game. I no thats kind of weird, but thats how much i am dedicated
September 20th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
-Jack, yeah it’s in Apple’s approval queue. Only Apple know how long this is and they don’t communicate about it. Shouldn’t be far off now though. I’d guess before the end of this week.
September 22nd, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Actually before on or before Thursday
September 22nd, 2009 at 3:34 pm
