13. Execute an old idea

This week I'll be executing an old idea and mixing it with the concept of play (derived from the previous exercise), by playing an old nostalgic childhood game.

Back when I was in third grade, there were games installed on the computers that we worked on at school. There was a game called "Final Ninja", and I've been wanting to return to my roots by playing it again.

The levels begin quite easy and gradually become harder as you play as a ninja cruising through a futuristic world, battling various villains and overcoming multiple challenges. The basic controls are quite simple, with the movement attached to "WASD" for left, right, up and down and the mouse for weapons and/or swinging capabilities. The game is an old "Miniclip.com" special, but isn't featured there anymore, since time has passed and everything has gotten older.

The game gets quite complicated and challenging in the later stages, even with it being a kids' flash game. The music is well done, and captures the theatrical side of the story it tells.

This side-scroller is a must-play gem to anyone who appreciates classic 2D online-playables.

This exercise has given me a few new creative ideas. I will be using this in my next exercise...
