Mission

Short description
NINJANITOR is not an ordinary janitor, he works in for all the dungeons in adventure games. He cleans, fixes, gets the mails but the most important, he replaces all the loot plundered by adventurers during the day. Not a very easy job, as he needs to avoid the monsters and traps in order to fulfill his mission. But he is trained for that, because he is ... A NINJA!

@Roomy cheers
The gameplay is simple but works, I managed to finish it with a 5 star rating ^^
This could have benefited from al least one more gameplay mechanism to have a truly original game :)
Here is a link to the VOD that starts at your section.

I doesn't know it was that hard to be a janitor in a dungeon xD
I think there's a lot of potential to expand this in the future; maybe cleaning up the mess of previous adventurers such as corpses of monsters and missed arrows etc. It could also be interesting to reset and replenish the traps yourself, and then have to avoid them whilst walking back through them, rather than them just being always on.
@josephgallear yeah there certainly is. We had a lot of ideas we had to cut out due to the time limitations but who knows, perhaps we will give it another try once we chill out after the game jam. Thanks!
Good job.
@le-don you are right there is no menu in any form and the only way to quit the game is alt f4, honestly I have completely forgot about that, sorry!
@francis I certainly see your point, the stealth in the game is the main machanic we invested our times in and we hoped that the adrenaline rush you get when you are almost spotted would bring the joy but we are very well aware that it's far from the state of art. Regarding only having 1 treasure, yes, this is intentional. We felt like killing the player and having to start from scratch is too brutal for a game jam game thus we decided we will restart player character location and destroy one chest. This way you cannot deliver all the chests making your final score lower but you are still able to finish the game. Hope this clarifies this!
Thanks all for playing!
