About the Game

Ninja Numpties is a video board game where 2-4 players place traps on a mini Chess board island, but watch out – the traps disappear next turn! Earn ninja stars by pranking your frenemies... Whoever has the most stars by the end of the game wins!

Three distinct kinds of traps!

  • Push Tiles drag your foes around or even off the island! Daisy-chain them to form a conveyor belt!

  • D4 Caltrops deal damage to your (opponent’s) dice roll!

  • Rock-Paper-Scissors traps start the RPS minigame! The winner gets at least 1 star – raise the stakes by making a Push Tile path to the rock/paper/scissors...

Press P to pause, not Escape!

  • Ninja Numpties is a Game Maker 8.0 game so the Escape key instantly closes it!

  • Autosave to the rescue! Return to where you left off before you “paused” the game...

  • Start button on gamepads will pause the game as usual.

Adjust match settings!

  • Set number of rounds to adjust the length of the play session (game autosaves, so feel free to continue a long session later...)

  • Individually adjust the first d6 roll and all subsequent d6 rolls... (random or fixed value)

  • Set d4 caltrop damage (Random, fixed value, or even Push Tile conveyor combo!)

  • Wrong settings? Pause the game (with P key) to revisit the Settings menu!

Supports a wide range of gamepads and even shows their buttons!

  • PlayStation DualShock 3/4 and DualSense

  • Xbox 360, One and Series S | X

  • Nintendo Switch Joy-Con (individually) and Pro controllers

  • NES, SNES (Purple and Multicolour), Gamecube controller and Wii Nunchuck

  • uDraw tablet (PlayStation 3 model)

Choc-a-bloc full of memes and puns!

  • Licensed Vine boom and Kill Bill guitar riff (“rizz sound”)

  • Silly puns such as earning stars (badum tuss!)

  • Badly drawn memes!
