Kickochet

The Ninja Experience in Kickochet

Kickochet is a quirky entry in the action genre that emerged from the GMTK 2019 Game Jam, earning a top spot among 2,620 competitors. Set in a playful yet chaotic world, players engage in a ninja attack simulation where the primary weapon is a single shuriken. You’ll be kicking this projectile off walls, around obstacles, and toward ferocious robotic foes. Can you navigate cleverly through these challenges before time runs out?

Mastering Shuriken Kicking Mechanics

At its core, the gameplay focuses on a unique mechanic where timing and precision are essential. You have to hold the kick to slow down time as your shuriken ricochets across the battlefield. This element adds a layer of strategy, making it necessary to plan your moves and assess the environment carefully. The top-down view allows for nuanced control, either through traditional twin-stick shooter mechanics or mouse aiming.
