Eclipse Blade - PLAY THE DEMO

LOOK AT MY GAME! please :) #retrogaming

Due to some unexpected and difficult family circumstances, I need to step away from Eclipse Blade for a while. You can still play the demo, share it, and leave your feedback. I'll read every comment you leave. Trust me, I can't wait to get back. I just need a little time. Thank you!

Working on a feature where your equipped ninja skill drops when you pick up a new one, so you can change your mind

Not gonna lie, the demo on Steam is REAL good

no hashtags so, if you're seeing this it's fate

This is the stage I’m working on. Looks better after adding more details

It's #ScreenshotSaturday 🌆

Trying out an environment style for the new stage. Do you like the look?

When you only have 6x6/7x7 pixels and 3 frames for each wheel, it actually took me quite some time to figure out how to make a conveyor belt look right. Really got a taste of the presure NES artist had back then

ANNOUNCEMENT: Eclipse Blade demo coming Sep. 4 on Steam and itchio

Today, I added a new city background to make it feel more urban. It's only used in a very short section, but I still think it's worth it. #indiegame #retrogaming

Found a bug: I have a clone🥲

Reworking the tutorial stage...

Just played through an early beta of this game. Keep an eye on this one (maybe throw it on the ol' wishlist), I've got a good feeling about it. Especially if you like old-school Ninja Gaiden and all the games in that style.

For the upcoming Eclipse Blade demo, I am looking for 10–20 players to join a gameplay playtest. You’ll play a short Windows build and fill out a 2–3 minute feedback form with questions such as how long it took you to finish. Interested? Please DM me or email tintgamedev@gmail.com. Thank you! 🥷❣️

Substitution Jutsu has been implemented in game. Feels pretty good so far 🥷💥🪵

Eclipse Blade @tztzdev.bsky.social Eclipse Blade is a retro ninja action-platformer inspired by classic ninja games from the 1990s. Featuring challenging old-school gameplay and beautifully hand-crafted pixel art, it delivers the pure thrill of classic action in a fresh new way.

Do you think this could work as a boss fight?

When you're entering the trap section with only one hit left... deep breath :(

Today is a great day to add my retro ninja action-platformer to your steam wishlist.

The updraft mechanic is integrated into an actual stage. It always feels good once a mechanic leaves the test room and become part of an actual level. Noice :)

I’ve decided (at least for now) to make the tutorial a separate scene. After a short and straightforward basic controls tutorial, players can jump straight into the actual game with the basics already in mind.

Repost: a quiet clip from the stage Harbor. No enemies yet 👇

Strong updrafts keep the player airborne, making it impossible to land. Jumping into one gives you extra height. It wasn't planned, but it's a fun little mechanic. Happy accidents sometimes turn into fun mechanics. It kind of reminds me of rocket jumping from Quake XD

I've decided to create a dedicated tutorial stage before the game begins. It'll look like this 👇 #retrogaming #pixelart

Giant Buddha for one of the stages. #pixelart #ドット絵
