About the Game

Winja is a non-linear platformer similar to Megaman. The player can choose from eight initial stages, and is rewarded a unique power for completing each stage. Once the initial stages have been completed the final stages are revealed. Each stage has multiple paths that can be used depending on the array of powers the player has accumulated. 

About the World

Winja is set in a world at war between witches and ninjas. The Witch Queen and her forces have all but crushed the ninja alliance. The Winja, a child of destiny born between a witch and a ninja, has become their last hope. Trained in ninjutsu and naturally gifted with magic the Winja must face the most powerful witches of each domain and ultimately the Witch Queen herself. 

About the Design Team

Winja is a project I started in March of 2023 with my three and a half year old daughter. It’s roots are a game we made up that was mostly just running around. As the lore of the world evolved I decided to make it a video game. While I do most of the work, the design process, the art, characters, gameplay, etc, are all a collaborative effort between the two of us. Some of the most enjoyable moments of making this game have been trying to implement her amazing ideas in fun and creative ways. She is never limited by thoughts of practicality or implementation so things can get pretty wild.

I am using Unity for the game making,  Visual Studio for code writing, and Adobe Photoshop to create the artwork.
