Ninja Numpties is now 80% off on Steam. Sorry for missing the starting date of Winter Sale 2024. If you bought this game recently (within a 2 week refund window) and spent less than 2 hours playing the full version, Steam Refund policy permits you to refund then buy Ninja Numpties at the current sale price.

• All versions of Ninja Numpties are now called nn.exe so you can actually run the beta branches now (and V2 Ninja Numpties) yippee

Multiple controller support!

• Now there's an additional screen for syncing your controllers and choosing the right button icons / glyphs
• You can still just use one controller as before! Just sync one controller then press A to continue to Settings.
• Settings menu has been squeezed into the whole screen now that glyph selection has moved to its own screen.

Supported controllers

• Valve Steam Controller
• Steam Deck's built-in gamepad
• Xbox - separate 360 and One/Series glyphs)
• PlayStation (all PlayStation controllers including uDraw tablet have been consolidated to this option)
• Nintendo Switch Pro
• NES*
• SNES* - choose between JP/PAL and US colo(u)rs!
• N64*
• GameCube (via 8Bitdo GBros adapter - ensure it's switched to X mode!)
• Wii Nunchuck (plugged into 8Bitdo GBros adapter - works the same in S and X switch mode)

* NES SNES and N64 controller glyph placement is based on the Nintendo Online editions of these controllers, so may not work well for the original controllers...

Misc. changes

• Slightly moved the cup on the [spoiler]normal[/spoiler] title logo.
• Pressing Esc no longer quits the game and is instead a 'cancel' button.
• Consequently, Autosave is now off by default Edit config.txt to re-enable it!

Gamepad improvements

• Gamepad: press Select/View/etc. to toggle the Help Menu
• Trap Menu: now you can also close the Boobytrap Menu with X/Square button
• Skip hop is now on A/X button which is much more diegetic
• Keyboard: extra buttons

Keyboard Controls Revamp

• E: Open/Close Boobytrap Menu
• Space: Select menu option, Skip Hop
• Previous control scheme still functions like before, i.e. Ctrl and Backspace* for opening/closing Trap Menu respectively.
• *Skip Hop is now on Space instead of backspace since it felt more natural and prevents the accidental hopping immediately after closing the Trap Menu

Player numbering revamp

• Offshore and general GUI: Player number are actually numbers now instead of tiny dots!
• Player number above ninja bonces are just the dots now, so you can see the traps on the floor more clearly and still see "who's who" at a glance like before.
