Shinobi Coyote

Shinobi Coyote is an upcoming 2D platform adventure game that will be released for the PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, IOS, Android and the PC. The game features a Coyote named Yūki who is a member of a ninja clan full of coyotes (hence the game's name Shinobi Coyote) who ventures on a quest for revenge and uncover the truth behind his home's destruction at the hands of the Empress Kuroguro and her cybernetic army. The music for Shinobi Coyote also has a Japanese theme to go with the style of the game.

Prologue
After returning home from a secret mission, Yūki, a shinobi from a clan of coyotes, sees his home village under attack by a cybernetic army leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. After defeating the supposed leader of the attack, Yūki learns that not only is his master kidnapped, but the one who ordered the attack on Yūki's village was the Empress Kuroguro, who has recently become more corrupt and evil with power. Wanting to avenge his fallen coyote, find his master and discover the reason behind his village's attack, Yūki ventures out on his quest to stop the Empress from spreading more destruction around the world.

Game Menus and Gameplay
The Game menu is simple enough since there is only two choices to choose from: Start Game and Options. By going through options, you can change the difficulty, sound, screen settings and so on.

The gameplay for Shinobi Coyote may feel similar to those who have played classic 2D games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Zool and Rocket Knight Adventures. Yūki mainly attacks with his sword Hizamaru, which he can boost its power and effectiveness (see Power-ups and Items section below) to destroys the enemies in his path. Just like playing a classic 2D platform adventure, it takes a certain amount of hits by the enemy to lose a life  (and if all lives are gone, it's game over unless you have a continue) and gaining a lot of points by collecting points. Also, to make progress through the game, you finish one half of a level by reaching a checkpoint and then finishing the level by beating the boss at the end.

Yūki the Coyote Shinobi
The main character of Shinobi Coyote. Yūki is a member of a shinobi clan whose members are all coyotes who have the unique ability to slow down time for a short period, Yūki is considered one of their best members who skills as a shinobi far exceed many who have come before him. Courageous and daring, Yūki is willing to accomplish a mission without fail and rarely shows any slight sign of fear when coming up against anything that will stop him in his path. His accomplishments as a shinobi has rewarded him with a powerful sword named 'Hizamaru'.
