NINJA'S WAY: Dragon's Legacy — Game Boy Color

Project Support

The Kickstarter campaign was successful and is now complete. Many players who missed the campaign have asked for additional cartridges, but the Kickstarter edition was exclusive.

We are now preparing a new campaign on  Indiegogo  Subscribe now! The project is coming soon!



You play as a ninja who must undergo a deadly trial to obtain the Dragon Scroll — a map leading to the ultimate treasure, the Heart of the Dragon. Whoever finds the Heart will gain unimaginable power.

But something went wrong… In the morning, our hero discovers that a clanmate has already completed the trial and taken the map. Lightning strikes, and everything changes.

Now you must explore this perilous map and find your way to the dragon’s treasures. Be careful — deadly traps, vicious creatures, and terrifying bosses await. Swing your sword, throw deadly shurikens, uncover hidden treasures and secret locations, and prove yourself worthy of the legendary prize!

I feel like I've seen something similar before, but I can't quite remember where. In any case, your project looks impressive — best of luck with it! Looking forward to the final version.

also noticed that the third platform of the sequence before the 1st boss doesnt seem to move / trigger properly if you have full health , so you have to die and lose some health to get it to move again ?

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, there are some mistakes in the initial demo version. We will be fixing the platforms and taking all your suggestions into account. However, I want to remind you that this is just a demo version. When you defeat the first boss, the demo ends, and that's why you get sent back to the beginning of the game.

those bats that knock you off the platforms seem really unfair as you cant see them before you make a jump so cant avoid them .

also the first boss can easily trap you in a bottom corner and take most of you life and you cant escape until it moves !

when you die on the boss it should restart from just ouside the boss entrance and not force you to do the platforms again so youve got full health and have a fighting chance ...

is there anymore in the demo after the first boss ? ive beat it but when i try and carry on it just goes back to the start ?
