Ninja Loves Pirate

Anyone who has any kind of access to the internet will know of the age old debate amongst enthusiasts - which is cooler, ninjas or pirates? Perhaps even Zombie Pirates? Robot Ninjas? The discussion is endless (and pointless - yet strangely hilarious), but Swedish developer Muskedunder Interactive is taking the talk to new heights, with the announcement and playable demo of Ninja Loves Pirate.

NLP is a side-scrolling platformer reminiscent of old arcade games. complete with blocky pixels and two-directional movement. It won't break any records or wow any technology nuts, but it has already received acclaim, including winning the Four Elements development contest with the demo. The demo was then nominated for best Swedish independent game of 2005.

PALGN has had a brief hands-on with the demo, which is available for everyone to download and play at www.ninjalovespirate.com. Complete with a lousy English translation, NLP tells the story of Blackbeard and Ichiro....a pirate and a ninja. The two team up after a mysterious object similar to the Death Star crashes into the ocean and unleashes zombie infection upon the unsuspecting island inhabitants. So, take control of both Blackbeard and Ichiro, use their piratey and ninjary skills and discover the source of these goings-on!
