Description

A traumatic event has shaken the balance of the world. Human life has been almost wiped out by the evil A.I. Lemonkus. Robots roam free across the earth. You take control of Tabby, a killer robot infused with the soul of an ancient warrior.

Start out with nothing, progress and increase in strength by killing enemy robots to unlock abilities, weapons and kick-ass ninja tricks. Explore a world filled with secrets, hidden passages and mysterious characters. KUNAI is all about movement and agility. Use your ninja mobility to reach places where no normal robot could ever go.

Explore the different pixel-art environments of KUNAI, each with a minimalistic palette, while Tabby makes cute faces. Use a variety of ninja tricks to move around the world and unleash your deadly arsenal of weapons to fight your way through armies of evil machines, rogue androids, and mindless mechs to maximize your badassness.

● Fast-paced action platforming with a grappling twist.
● Silky smooth movement mechanics tuned to the pixel.
● Lots of juicy exploding robots crafted with care (note: screenshake can be turned off at your own leisure).
● Kunai-driven grappling fun with swinging included to amplify those deadly ninja drops.
● A wide variety of places to explore, ranging from a fallen city, floating airships to artificial deserts and more!
● Unique art style, with every area having its own color palette taking you back to the early days of gaming.
● Combat mechanics and weapons in abundance to slice, dice and fire your robotic foes to pieces.
● Friendly and not so friendly robots to meet along the way including Earl, Chief and the evil A.I. Lemonkus.
● Rocking soundtrack with lots of 16-bit references blasting into your ears.
● You are a NINJA TABLET. ‘Nuff said.

devs... hear me please... ADD CHECKPOINTS TO THE ZENSEI FIGHT PLEASE. I'm getting to the dang missile phase, but I get obliterated by the rubber banding on Zensei (because he speeds up but the screen doesn't), so I have

Sweetly coated, but undercooked from within Kunai is well executed aesthetically, but unfortunately it fails to deliver a good experience because of design and production flaws. I want to start with the obvious and the

A fun not-too-long Metroidvania with snappy combat and platforming. Wish it had more QoL in terms of fast travel (i.e. there is none). But overall, I found KUNAI to be above average in quality.

KUNAI, developed by TurtleBlaze and published by The Arcade Crew and Gamirror Games, is a fast-paced 2D action platformer that fuses the acrobatics of ninja combat with the exploratory freedom of a Metroidvania. Set in

I couldn't finish this game and don't think I'll come back to it. Kunai has some interesting premise, original art-style and promising platforming machanics. But the story falls short very soon and meets you with some

Kunai is one of those rare games that feels made by players for players. Combat is fast and satisfying, every parry and dash actually matters. Platforming is precise, level design is clever, and the pixel art plus the
