Broken Bulb Studios has announced the beta release of NinjaWarz, a flash based game designed to actually brings you into it’s world rather than asking you to read about it.
You get to build your Ninja clan with dozens of weapons, upgradable characters, and full animation everywhere you turn in the game. You even get to watch your Ninja clan battle it out in real time with other players’ clans. As your clan wins battles, your gain levels and earn gold and Karma which allows you to continue to buy new weapons, relics, and train your ninjas as well as recruit more. The game is currently only available on Facebook, but the developers plan to integrate it with Facebook Connect as well.
NinjaWarz developers have also taken steps to curb the relentless feed spamming that tends to come with the success of any social game, especially on Twitter. The game does not do any posting that’s not user-initiated. Instead it prompts the player to post to their feed only when select actions occur and offers a valuable reward on a per-post basis. If the user elects to post their action, the prompt doesn’t return for some time.
“We think that people will be more likely to play our game if they see one good post every few hours rather than a dozen meaningless posts from the same user in 10 minutes,” notes Robert Nelson, CEO of Broken Bulb. So what is this ‘one good post’? When the player elects to do so, NinjaWarz posts a short message detailing the outcome of a battle as well as a link to a flash-based replay of the actual fight. That’s right, friends can actually watch the exact fight that the player saw in the game prior to ever having to sign up for NinjaWarz.
