Ninja Usagimaru - The Gem of Blessings -
The lone wanderer Usagimaru stumbles across a deserted village.
It looks ravaged, as if a devastating battle has taken place.
He’s not sure what to make of it, until Toyoukebime, the
heavenly rabbit, descends from the sky, shrouded in light.
“This village was attacked by monsters known as Mononoke,” the
rabbit says. “Will you save them?”
“Fate must have brought me here!” cries Usagimaru, “I will
gladly help!”
So begins his adventure.
Ninja Usagimaru is a 2D action-puzzle game where Usagimaru saves
kidnapped villagers by taking them to the Usagi Statue. Each
stage is packed full of obstacles, traps, and monsters—all of
which Usagimaru will have to use along with his unique skills to

Swords and Darkness -
Upon returning from an important mission, a knight of Athelstern
discovers that his king has called upon forbidden magics to
stave off defeat in war. It is an act of desperation, and
although Athelstern turned that defeat into a victory, it came
at a great cost. The magic ate away at the king’s mind, infected
his advisors and the army, and turned them against the very
country they had sacrificed so much to protect.
The queen, rumored to have survived the chaos and slaughter,
hides in the castle somewhere. She is the last, desperate hope
for the ravaged Kingdom of Athelstern. This nameless heroic
knight, only just returned from his mission, must undertake
another, one of the most dire import: Rescue the queen, and save
his country.
Swords and Darkness is a side-scrolling action RPG with
leveling, stat growth, and a skill system. As you fight you
level up, and as you level up you are awarded skill points that
can be distributed to your attributes: strength, dexterity,
agility, stamina, mentality, vitality, and luck. Finding and
reading scrolls will teach you powerful new skills that you can
use in battle to destroy your enemies.
