Capable of multiple different spells as Oswald progresses through his adventure, this beginner's staff was gifted to Ozzie by The Great Wizard Himself as an intentionally modest form of defense against the nefarious Gyaku Ninjas!
MICKEY MOUSE

I am a Christian and Halloween kicks ass.
He who hands out a little extra candy at his door so a childhood can be a little more memorable is acting more Christlike than he who self righteously condemns a celebration of macabre aesthetics. THAT is celebrating His creation.
Mickey is public domain because Disney didn't have a choice. But I used multiple Kenney (
@KenneyNL
) assets in the production of this game and MANY of those are free by choice.
Hit up my boy Kenney, he's the best.
DAN BACKSLIDE has snuck his sneaky, unsavory self into INVERSE NINJAS
Character modding has also been implmented! Link to the game and modding instructions below!!

The Kickstarter for RULE Of Inverse Ninjas is Live!!!
New character premieres within the trailer! Find out if your suspicions were correct!
Help us bring Story Mode to life! Link to the Kickstarter in the tweet below!
@ttte_bstars_alt
Advertisement from the same year! Also now public domain!
Appreciate the concern though, I know it comes from a good place. And thanks! :D
Dan Backslide is out! And with that, we enter a tiny development hibernation.
But allow me to say-
I don't think you're expecting what coming up next. And it's not just new characters or stages.
Our
@Kickstarter
campaign is up and running for Rule of Inverse Ninjas!
Thank you guys so much for all the early attention and we hope to do our best to keep the momentum rolling!

I have nothing against the Infestation 88 guys! That's the whole point of the Public Domain, we can both do whatever we like!
Though I get bragging rights to having made it ~first~ <3
This is the opposite of what I want and what I stand for. The music will change in the next update.
We've got the license for the music but we didn't think the license holders would do this. I'm not into it. Change sooner than later, that's a promise.
BIG heads up to anyone looking to stream
@InverseNinjas
and the developers themselves - the menu/character select music is IN CONTENT ID as "Electro Swing" by Texas Brother. The irony of a game proudly uplifting public domain characters getting copyright claimed is beyond belief.

ngl this a good ass response.
The full sized PNG of Felix himself for any curious!
We've been speaking a lot as to how we'd like to incorporate his wildly variant yet effortlessly charming personality into the game's world and I think we've landed somewhere very cool. :)
I know there are people out here who are putting Inverse Ninjas and Infestation 88 in a sort of faux-rivalry 'cause of the whole Mickey thing-
But this is ridiculous. If you have grievances with I88 then share them, but not like this. This is no way to treat developers or anyone
INVERSE NINJAS HAS MADE BACK ITS INITIAL INVESTMENT!!!!!!
Not of time of course but of the artists I've paid and the resources I collected, this thing is, as of about twenty minutes ago, NO LONGER IN THE RED!!!!!!!!!
I... literally can't respond to everyone. This is a first. Nothing I've ever made has gotten this much attention. Animal Lover, Nowhere Girl, Dreamcutter, Find My Phone VR, they all made more money than this but not gotten as much attention
But man I WANT to respond to everyone.
Actually I think I'm getting more engagement by NOT explaining why we've managed to stay within copyright for all of the concepts behind Mickey's design.
I'll explain later, I actually enjoy watching people ask the questions.
Two things!:
One! I claim no copyright over Mickey Mouse's current voice! As of the current interpretation, he sounds strictly like if you fed helium to Jimmy Stewart!
Two, since I have no legal claim over this video I can safely say this-
COOOL!! :D!!!!
We're now 10% funded!!
There's a dim but hopeful chance that this wacky little project makes it over the finish line, and that's before we release the demo!
Thank you so much and don't forget to pledge on Kickstarter!

Escape From Tomorrow is the patient zero for this entire thing.
Inverse Ninjas has kept it all on the up and up legally speaking but these guys DIDN'T and Disney ignored them cause it's easier to let this thing fly under the radar than to try to squeeze a stone and make it bleed
Thinking about that one horror movie that was filmed inside Disneyland without permission and the director wanted Disney to cause legal issues to get the movie attention only for them to ignore it entirely
Big ups to
@MonkeyDLenny
for really cementing in my mind that I oughta do a roadmap. I'll post it up on Steam for a more permanent home for it.
But this is generally the idea! It's a lot of work for our small dev team but if it's not hard, it's not worth doin'!!
hey can someone show him my Mickey Mouse game and what not- I'd do it myself but like I gotta be chill, how would I even open? this is the Pony dot MOV guy, I have to play it cool.
some people were asking for a voiceless version to make dubs, so here it is!!
without the voices sidechaining the music it's quite loud so be sure to squash it back down 😅
Because Mickey's iconic voice didn't develop in Steamboat Willie, and I'd want to diverge from it anyway, my Mickey would 100% just be Jimmy Stewart but like up an octave or two.
Where have I been and what's up with Inverse Ninjas?
The answer's long, a little sappy, frankly a little too flowery, but also kind of necessarily so.
God, it all feels like such a blur.
Boy I'm REALLY bad at this "keep it professional on the game account" thing.
Man I'm just a guy, dude, I like that my thing is making people happy and making jokes and stuff even if it ruins my engagement or twitter analytics or what the hell ever.
I regret to inform you guys that I'm not all post ironic funnies. Someone emailed me claiming to be a 40 million view YouTube channel who would cover my game if I would send a free copy of my quite literally five dollar game and I was pretty rude to him.
He didn't want to wait any longer!
Sonic the Hedgehog has joined the fight in

I made these sprites in advance, and all palettes are purely referencing either misc stuff or Sonic 1. Check him out!

The Pre-Alpha Demo is now available!!
Any amount of signal boosting we receive from this would be hugely appreciated, but more than anything, we hope that you enjoy!

We've got a long way to go but we're still truckin'! Thank you to everyone who's helped us get this far!!!
Maybe
@Kickstarter
might start to notice us! ;)
Happy Easter/Trans Day of Visibility! Wonderful day for both occasions!
We'll be opening up a PUBLIC DISCORD SERVER today as soon as I'm certain everything is in place to do so!
See you there!
Garfield isn't public domain nor should he be, it's Davis's right to keep banking on that character for as long as he wants.
But boy doesn't Garfield FEEL public domain??
Not even the original one from the Jon strip, I mean modern Garfield.
Need the real Oswald lord mfs here I'm starting some research.
I'm already familiar with the character, with his toons, with his history, but no one is going to get me the important shit and the good shit as fast as a superfan is going to.
Please?
Post-Defeat Kickstarter Stream.
Trying out a Mickey Mouse PNGTuber, even though I'm making zero effort to portray him myself, and just experimenting.
Stop by and say hi! Ask questions or whatever!
Please signal boost this any way you can! This is a big risk for the entire team and we want to bring this strange little project to life more than anything!
Check out RULE of Inverse Ninjas below!
We built this platform on total transparency. Just being people who are trying to make a game.
In that spirit:
Do you guys have any ideas on how to push this game and Kickstarter forward? We're looking for ideas, for connections, anything we can do to seal this thing!
The main menu music has changed! It's temporarily 'The Route I Choose' by

and there will be a new song by the lead musician

coming soon!

Hello
@Kickstarter
!
Rule of Inverse Ninjas, Story Mode for Inverse Ninjas VS. The Public Domain is being made by a small team of seasoned creators with a focus on the important institution of the Public Domain!
We would love it if you would consider RULE for a Project We Love!
Bambi, Tinkerbell, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Tigger, Piglet, The Mad Hatter and Sleeping Beauty will all unite in a horror team-up movie ‘POOHNIVERSE: MONSTERS ASSEMBLE’.
In theaters next year.
I want to spill the beans on what's next SO BADLY but I can't. This one, unlike Dan Backslide, is big enough to actually make or break this game so I need the announcement to be huge.
Hi! So, to inverse characters, I tend to look through concept art. I found this one piece where Gwimbly looked a bit older, and was sporting a mullet. I thought it was fitting so I leaned into it, and gave him a little bit of a redneck vibe. I also HAD to inverse his Gwimbly Gun.
Child: I love Mario 2
Teenager: That's not the real Mario 2, that's Doki Doki Panic! American Mario 2 is a fake!
Adult: That's the real Mario 2 because it's what the original creator was working on instead and it has his blessing AS Mario 2
Wise Man: Japanese Mario 2 sucks ass
How many more Lethal Company(s), Among Us(s), Minecraft(s), and Stardew Valley(s) before the industry notices that fun is the be-all end-all, and that if you prioritize profit over fun you will end up with neither
Doug and Garfield are the two Nicktoon characters that are in the public domain but only their original appearances (Doug was a college-aged man and Garfield was a white cat with poofy cheeks).
What’s coincidental is that Garfield’s voice actor Lorenzo Music narrated the ads!

Okay but to be fair we've already uploaded Mickey to the current build. We got it first. Dibs. Base. All that.
Also no shade on the horror boys, they're allowed to do their thing.
