About The Messenger
The Messenger is an action platformer about a young ninja who sets out to deliver a scroll vital to his clan’s survival as a demon army besieges his village. His journey through a cursed world expands into a time-traveling adventure filled with surprises and humor.
The adventure
You use acrobatic moves to traverse the world, with controls designed for precise play. Character upgrades and new abilities open up further possibilities, while hidden levels and branching paths offer places to discover.
Characters and style
The adventure features a cast of offbeat villains, bosses and associates. Its sprites, animations and backgrounds draw on both 8-bit and 16-bit styles, and its original soundtrack was made by chiptune composer Rainbowdragoneyes using Famitracker.
