[b]Dear apprentice Ninzas,[/b] We have good news and bad news... Indeed, it seems like the game has opened its battlefield to a very dark and mad creature which seems very enclined to annihilate our souls. Maybe the Mo0n was bored of being the only vilain of the whole ninzaverse? The good news being: [b]this dark badass is actually a playable character[/b] and is part of the update that just went live!

[url=http://www.ninza-game.com]Download the game from our official website,[/url] launch it and play.[/code] So, let's take our little tour of the most important additions introduced by this new version! [i]For a more detailed patch note, you can join our [url=https://www.discord.gg/awR8MRx]Discord server.[/url][/i] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//43133981/610d764e57101339a3bf7a449fc48a9c6c6f97d5.png[/img] Voodoo magic allows her to fight like no other ninza! She summons the spirit of her old crow to haunt blocks. Once possessed, those blocks can be pushed in any direction, at anytime. Jeanine is an awesome character capable of setting up the most dangerous and unpredictable traps.

We can't wait to see how far you'll push the full range of her capabilities. LET'S EMBRACE VOODOO MAGIC DEAR NINZAS!

Basically this a new state in which characters are sleeping and invulnerable. Players are free to get out of the spawning stasis at any time they want by pressing any button.

On the other hand, more advanced players can anticipate their opponents spawning kill intentions and wait for the right moment to break the stasis. [b]More control, less frustration, more brain opportunites.[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//43133981/bbbb0a25773571016b482896b4894faf976c85cc.png[/img] As usual, we've fixed quite a number of reported issues / bugs.

A lot of new players reported feeling lost when launching Ninza for the first time. They told us that they would really like to receive more guidance. So that's what we're working on, our primary focus: [b]"how to make Ninza more welcoming for newcomers"[/b]. Indeed, discovering the game with friends, or during an event is definitely not the same experience as downloading the game and figuring things out all by yourself. Sooooo, stay tuned! As soon as we'll have more stuff to share, you'll heard about it! From your Ninza Happiness Ninza Social Coordinator, Wuthrer, Love <3
