Spiny Ninja

Spiny Ninja is a stealth game with a clear rulebook. Enemy patrols have view cones you can see, which turns sneaking into a readable problem rather than a guessing game — you know exactly where it is unsafe to stand. Getting caught is avoidable if you use the shadows and time your movement, and enemies can be knocked out from behind, so a patrol is something you can remove rather than only evade. Coins collected along the way buy shields for protection in the tougher levels, and if you are defeated you can revive your ninja with coins or rewards. Reaching the destination conquers a level and unlocks harder challenges beyond it.
