Tiny Ronin
Tiny Ronin 🎋
You are a tiny ronin cursed with immortality for the crime of killing 100 samurai. To regain mortality and escape the endless grind, you have sworn to kill 10,000 bandits. This is your story. It will never end.
Hold X to charge your sword and release to slash. Press Z to roll backwards and avoid incoming attacks. You can cancel your attacks with the roll or another attack.
To start a new run after death, you must clean your sword (hold X or Z).
There are eight achievements to unlock. Three of them will change the look of the game.
Rewind Selector!
With the first update you can now toggle the rewind feature in the PICO-8 pause menu. Turn it on to make enemies back off after a successful kill.
Mifune Mode!
You can now play the game in classic Chambara black and white. Just pause the game and activate "Mifune Mode" to turn it on or off. As intended, as they say :)
Cheats menu
There is now a semi-hidden cheat menu for more options like invincibility, slow mode or hardcore mode. Access it by tapping the D-pad down during the splash screen.
Where to play
Play it right here in the browser at the top of the screen. Or download the cart and play it in your PICO-8 fantasy console. Or search for "tiny ronin" in Splore on your PICO-8 fantasy console.
A huge thank you to ArtVBurry for the cute cover image.
