[h3]✨ Thank You to All Participants ✨[/h3]
Thank you to all the players who joined this event - You made the contest so much more exciting! Despite the rank of your time, you all surpassed yourselves on the journey of becoming better.

[h3]🎁 Prizes will be delivered within this month 🎁[/h3]

[h3]🛠️ 【Assist Mode】 Now Available on Beta 🛠️[/h3]
[h3]⌨️ Beta Branch Code: ninjaming123[/h3]
We are working to incorporate your feedback into the game! Our latest bug fixes and the newly added 【Assist Mode】 are now available on the Beta branch. Feel free to test it out!

[h3]Update Log[/h3]
1. New Assist Mode: In the settings menu now you can enable Assist Mode and adjust the game speed (minimum speed is 0.3x). 2. Added "Disable Rumble" Option: In the settings menu now you can turn of controller vibration.
3. Optimizations:
  • Added input buffering for throwing kunai, making it feel smoother and more responsive.
  • In the last room, the previously hidden time and death count will now remain visible.
4. Bugfixes:
  • Fixed a bug where the Ming's head gets stuck into the ceiling.
  • Fixed a bug where landing wasn’t correctly detected, causing Ming to remain in a falling state.
  • Fixed a bug where flashing upward against a wall would sometimes falsely register as landing
  • Fixed a bug where pressing ESC when calling up the speedrun mode confirmation window would cause overlap, making the confirmation window unclosable.
  • Fixed the display when unlocking scrolls that have been collected before. (Transparency should always match the collection state: half-transparent for collected, not transparent for uncollected.)
  • Fixed a bug where entering speedrun mode from the chapter tracker in the left room of the ninja village would reset the death count.
  • Fixed UI scaling in some cases.



[h3]🎮 The finish line is not the end but a new beginning! Stay tuned for more from Ninja Ming! 🎮
