Ninja Trap

"Oh i'm Enemy?!" Forget everything you know about classic arcade maze games. In Ninja Trap, you don’t run away from the ghosts—YOU ARE THE MASTERMIND CONTROLLING THEM!

A stealthy, hyper-fast AI Ninja has broken into the Shogun's Castle to steal all the sacred Koban (gold coins) and rice bowls. As the Grand General, you must guide your 4 legendary automated guards to ambush, corner, and capture the thief before the treasury is completely emptied!

 THE CORE TWIST & MECHANICS

• One-Handed Tactical Gameplay: You do not move the guards manually. They run automatically through the castle corridors.

• Left-Click on any intersection to place a Wooden Arrow Sign to redirect your guards in real-time.

• Right-Click on an existing arrow to remove it and change your strategy on the fly.

•  Survive from Wave 1 up to Wave 99!

• Dynamic Maps: Face evolving castle layouts as you progress through Level 0 (Tutorial), Level 1, Level 5, and Level 10!

 MEET YOUR GUARDS 

Your 4 guards possess unique, deeply calculated original arcade AI brains:

• The Chaser  Ashigaru Spear): Aggressively targets the Ninja's exact grid coordinate. (+10 Points on capture) .
• The Ambusher  Kunoichi Fox): Predicts and targets 4 tiles ahead of where the Ninja is facing to cut him off. (+15 Points on capture) .
• The Variable Elite Samurai: Unpredictable movement based on a complex calculation averaging Blinky's and the Ninja's positions. (+20 Points on capture) .
• Clyde The Lone Wolf : If he is more than 8 tiles away, he flees to safeguard the bottom-left corner of the map. Highly chaotic but rewarding! (+100 Jackpot Points on capture) .

WIN & LOSS CONDITIONS

• Guard Victory: Successfully intercept and collide with the Ninja to claim his bounty.

• Ninja Victory (Game Over): You lose if the Ninja manages to steal every single coin on the map OR if the Ninja grabs the Legendary Power Talisman and defeats 8 or more of your guards while they are in panic mode!
