You can also download the game on itch.io: https://noppa.itch.io/shelled-shinobi.

It's currently also possible to lower the framerate in code by changing the value of 'fps_60' in '_init()' (could be useful for e.g. RPi0 users?).

  • Added credits to the title screen
  • Removed thanks from code comments to save on characters

@waynaul, @ChakAttack, @NerdyTeachers, @Mikesta
Thank you so much!

Edit: I gotta say thanks once more @NerdyTeachers, this game wouldn't have happened without your inspiring tutorial! It was exactly what I needed at that moment.

So glad our tutorial helped that much! You took it beyond what we imagined anyone would. As we update our site, we will certainly be featuring this game as an example.

Starred and Favorited.

P#78668 2020-06-29 14:58

@Meep Wow I knew you'd be fast, but damn! I'm really glad you like it.

@tororoxu and @bigjus Thank you, thanks for playing and commenting!

@Gruber Yay awesome that you played it, thank you! Thanks for making the PICO-8 Tunes available, hope I didn't butcher the beautiful tunes too badly.

@NerdyTeachers Awesome, I'd be honored!

THIS IS AWESOME! Guess it will become my favourite, I painted many graffiti myself :D

Whoa, this is amazing. Fantastic work! The polish is super high on this. Wow...

@noppa It sounds great. I really like hearing other people remix and rearrange those tunes.

P#78699 2020-06-30 13:24

@Yesyoor Thanks, that's great! I'm not terribly good at handling a spray can myself, but I have some graffiti artist friends. Glad if you approve the use of graffiti in the theme :)

@MBoffin Thanks so much for the kind words! And thank you for your teaching and resources!
I was a bit on the fence if I should ping you all by tagging in the description or not, but now I'm glad I did! :D

Sorry, didn't know updating the post / cart would bump the thread. Hopefully at least it didn't ping the previously tagged folks again! D: In the future I'll try to keep it to major updates, if any.

(Edit: I mean the cart is finished and released, so no major updates are to be expected. Some very minor graphics tweaks might still happen, and I'll fix any major bugs, if such appear. Please don't hesitate to leave feedback :D)

No worries. It only pings people if you newly use their @ tag. Just updating the cart won't do it. It just bumps the thread to the top. (Which is fine too.)

I'd happily play another 9-10 sequels to this.

Edit: I tried to include shots of my time in my post, but apparently you can't have spaces in the filename? Let's try again:

I don't really have an original comment. It's basically TMNT meets Sonic...and it's awesome!

10/10!!! <3

Lovely game! Had a crash that you might want to see.

@ScorchWare Thanks! I appreciate the comment!

@Elastiskalinjen Thank you, and thanks for reporting the crash! I couldn't really figure out what exactly caused the bug or reproduce it, but I added a couple of checks to hopefully prevent it from happening again.

If the bug persists or someone discovers another, please do let me know and I'll try to patch it.

@Kadz274 Nice! Though I actually had your time beat as of a few days ago.
https://imgur.com/a/3qp3jIu

Now my best time is under 1:09:

I've been recording all my runs, but I somehow screwed up the vid for this run—I accidentally cropped out a bit from the top of the game. (I'm really annoyed at myself about that.) Well, I'll probably spend some time trying to get down to 1:07.x if I can. I'm not sure if that's possible with my current route.

Either way, I hope to end up with a better time and a better video when all's said and done.

@hahhah42 WOAH!!!! THATS CRAZY DID YOU FIND A SHORTCUT OR SOMETHING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? (oh btw im 12)

P#79572 2020-07-18 17:06

@Kadz274 Are you really only 12? Now I'm even more impressed.

This part is the hardest timesave I've found, taken from the 1:08.58 run:

I'm guessing that you hadn't found that yet, since it's the last strat I figured out. If your time is a little behind mine before you reach that point, then there's probably some small differences earlier in your runs.

Great game here, really class mechanics and graphics. I loved it so I made a video about it:

P#79849 2020-07-24 11:18

@Kadz274
@hahhah42
Wow, really impressive speedrunning! The technique in the gif is really cool to see too!

By the way, it would be awesome to see the speedruns neatly listed somewhere, since so far different people have posted their runs here, others on itch.io or Newgrounds. If anyone would be up for moderating the speedruns, please consider requesting the addition of the game to speedrun.com.
Either way keep posting the results, I'm always happy to see them!

@extar Nice video! Thanks for making it and for all the complements. It was great to hear your thoughts and see the gameplay. Cool how you took time to analyze all the details and the production quality is nice!

@noppa I've improved my time a bit, but not quite below 1:08 just yet. Here's the vid:

P#79909 2020-07-25 08:47

I'm sure somebody will be insane enough to do a 100% speedrun. I wish I was that insane. :c

@ScorchWare I've been working on that, too. (Might as well, right?) Not satisfied yet.

Wow, this is just fanTAStic! Kudos!

P#80486 2020-08-08 01:35

@Hudbud08 Haha thanks, naturally for a shinobi, yes! Thanks to Nerdy Teachers for that, I based the character and animations on their platformer tutorial character.

P#80504 2020-08-08 12:44

@hahhah42 Awesome to see that video, many tricks I hadn't seen before! Hitting only the very corner of all those platforms and everything too, really amazing accuracy, speed and fluidity in the run.

Absolutely incredible, I'm looking forward to speedrunning your game, flawless design both visually and technically. Can't wait to play your future games mate, keep up

P#85159 2020-12-08 16:51

@KoGaMeR1! Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it!

@0rdered0wl Thanks, I really appreciate it! I'd love to see more speedruns too :)
I've been occupied by other projects lately, but I'm looking forward to eventually getting back to PICO-8. So much inspiring stuff coming out from the community too.
