Waves of enemies, boss encounters, and Aether upgrades. Keep your ninja standing as the pressure builds.

01 / THE DIRECTOR’S CUTWINDOWS PC

YOUR NINJA.
YOUR ELEMENT.
YOUR COMBO.
A love letter to the hack-and-slash. Launch enemies, chase them into the air, and turn a weapon and an element into your own fighting style.
Independent game · In active development · Public release to come
02 / COMBAT IS THE POINT
Built around movement, expression, and one more combo.
A hammer should feel like a hammer.
Lightning should change how you use it.
DX pairs distinct weapons with fire, water, earth, air, and lightning. Fast attacks flow into heavy chains. Dodges break you out of a swing. Launchers take the fight off the ground.
The goal is simple: give you the freedom to find a style that feels like yours.

Ninja Smack DX grows out of Shayne Brown’s Ninja Smack series: an independent action game built around the joy of mastering a character. DX brings that vision into a new iteration, one playtest at a time.
