🥷 ABOUT THIS GAME Ninjamboree is a chaotic online party‑PvP arena where four players compete to see who can collect the most treasures. Each round, one player becomes the Ninja, racing through a retro‑inspired level packed with traps, puzzles, and neutral monsters. The other three players become super monsters, teaming up to stop the Ninja’s run. It’s fast but smart. It’s silly but fair. It’s competitive without being too serious. It's a Ninjamboree. 🎮 How It Works Step 1 - Launch the game Step 2 - Find a match (queue with three friends in a Private Lobby or solo queue in a Public Lobby) Step 3 - Let the chaos begin We start in the selection screen. For Round One, Stage One, P1 will be the ninja and select a Super to carry with them into the level. P2, P3, and P4 will select which monster to be as well as which area they will hide in. The level begins! The ninja player traverses the level, fighting neutral monsters, avoiding traps, solving (simple) puzzles en route to collecting as many treasures as they can. The monster players lurk, ambush, and attack to stop them. When the Ninja reaches the end (or dies trying), their treasure is recorded. Then the roles rotate — P2 becomes the Ninja, and the cycle repeats. A full match (approximately 30 minutes) consists of five stages: Standard level Standard level A chaotic Halftime twist Standard level A climactic Boss Fight After everyone has played each of the five levels as the Ninja, the player with the most treasure wins! Matches are chaotic, punchy, and will leave you smiling for more. 🧩 Key Features Online chaos for 4 players Cooperative 75% of the time PvE the other 25% Asymmetric roles that change every round Retro-feel movement and abilities Arena‑style maps full of hazards and opportunities "Halftime" shake-ups to remix the action Boss fights for a dramatic finale Fun for casuals, satisfying for competitive players Designed with streaming, parties, and play‑with‑friends energy 💀 Anti–Dead Game Active Discord Hub where players can LFG and chatter, providing a dependable way to find matches if in‑game matchmaking ever runs quiet Monthly Ninjams displayed in‑game with a live countdown, giving everyone a clear window for high‑concurrency play Adaptive Support: If something isn’t working, I’ll evolve it.

You’ll find: 8 unique Supers 8 playable monsters A complete match loop Private lobbies Public matchmaking A solid foundation that’s fun today But the game is not finished — and that’s where we need your help. Things we expect to improve during our time in Early Access: Online matchmaking: Public matchmaking is largely untested and will almost certainly may buckle under stress Balance: Supers and monsters will evolve as players discover strong or broken strategies Meta exploits: Levels, traps, and mechanics may shift as cheesy strats emerge Quality‑of‑life: Settings, UI polish, and usability improvements are ongoing Visual updates: Steam assets, title screen, and menus are currently mostly entirely made up of placeholders The game is here and it works and it's fun. What it needs now is a community to drive the polish. If you have the patience to endure some lopsided matches and can report a bug or two, welcome to the jamboree.
