Appsolute Games and Huijaus Studios have been working on their stealth-action puzzler Mr. Future Ninja for a while now, but the wait is soon to end. Mr. Future Ninja will release on iOS and Android on June 15th. To commemorate the release date announcement, the companies have released a brand-new trailer showing off more of the game. Get a first look at it below:
Mr. Future Ninja will have you utilizing the abilities of several different ninjas in order to advance through the myriad levels you’re given. You’ll be helping the last remaining ninjas fight against the massive corporation set to clone them and offer ninjas as servants to humanity. Remaining out of sight and combining different abilities is key to success, and you can either combine or split up the group in order to help take on certain challenges. This has looked rather promising since the game first showed up last year, and we’ll only have a couple more weeks to wait before stealth ninja puzzle action is here for us all.
Card Thief iOS: 48000 paid downloads from the store, 66000 players in my in game tracking. Which does not mean all of them are pirated ones. Reinstalls and second devices are also tracked.
Wow?! I really had no idea this was such an issue with iOS games. I always imagined it was to much of a hassle for your average user to jailbreak phone/tablet then seek out the pirated games.
It's easier than that unfortunately
Are you talking also about IOS or only Android?
iOS.
Ah, I didn't know reinstalls and second devices are also tracked. Useful info, thanks!
I suspect that many pirates and seekers of pirated games do so because they enjoy tricking the system, hurting (or not caring if they hurt) other people; feeling a sense of accomplishment for getting something for nothing that others have to pay for; or other reasons having nothing to do with whether they can afford a game. The same thought processes go into making viruses. It takes someone who wants to do harm, or gain a benefit they haven't earned, to do such a thing.
Na it's because they're broke
lol, because they spent their money on weed or booze kind of broke.
I'd venture that is has something to do with our current "Age of Entitlement."
Whether it's the old Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, MTVs lifestyle shows (Cribs) or the current shite like the Kardtrashians and Housetramps of (insert locale), our popular media has created a sense of instant gratification. When 5-8 year olds own iPads and smartphones, birthdays and Christmas (or your fave holiday) have become the new Cold War arms race for buying shit that kids used to simply dream about.
Work and buy? Why bother?! I'll just help myself. Because I DESERVE it. Life's been mean to me. I don't have all the cool toys the latest celebutante has. So, I'll get mine one way or another.
Sorry. I'll go back to the nursing home.
Hey Kid! Get off my lawn!
I always thought that piracy was more of an Android issue, but I guess it happens in iOS as well. Learned something new today!
People that jailbreak their phones always uses the excuse that they want to personalize their iPhones.....yeah right I heard that one before the same that people flash their consoles with the excuse that they want to have an extra copy so that they can spare the original and I heard that one before also,the only thing they do is hurting hard working developers and destroying the business.
You're going to blame jailbreaking for this? Not all pirates are jailbroken. Jailbreaking has many legitimate uses, believe it or not.
That's fair, but jailbreakers who are not pirates are in the extreme minority, as evident by comparing the download numbers between "legit" jailbreak tweaks and downloads of cracks, hacks, and pirated games. I'm not sure why people pretend otherwise.
I'm not denying that, I just think it's unfair to place "jailbreakers" all in the same category like that.
Again I am not saying that but the numbers shows that this is a real
problem the numbers show developers that the numbers between played and paid are totally out of balance and this is happening constantly with paid games and this is hurting the gaming industry and the legitimate gamers that want to play quality premium games we shall see more and more FTP in the AppStore but I understand that there are always people that want to jailbreak for legitimate reasons.
No I am not saying that all people that jailbreak there phone only to play pirate games but there are a lot of people that do this to play pirated games.
I read this and had to buy the game. 🌞
You don't have to, but thanks for the support :D
These motherfu...r thiefs destroying the mobile gaming market and that's the reason that we got waves of FTP shenanigans and some good exemptions btw and the real good paid games become almost extinct.
I visited my sister recently. My five year old nephew figured out how to use online services to download hacked apps. I didn't even know where to begin; his only justification was 'mommy wouldn't buy it for me so....'
Five years old.
Never too young to steal I guess.
Well when half the country lives in poverty and that money could better be spent on groceries, along with the fact that 80% of the time when we do pay for these things the game ends up being subpar, are you really surprised? Napster and Limewire were a thing 20 years ago. It has very little to do with the thrill of stealing and everything to do with people trying to be happy with the hand they're dealt, in ANY way that they can.
Not surprised, just disappointed. "I can't afford this thing I don't need so I steal it" is also a real strange rationalization. We're not talking stealing a crust of bread so your family doesn't go hungry.
Five year olds aren't quite thinking on that level.
I guess parenting is a lost art.
Wow, you're kind of a jerk when someone else has a point. I'll continue because discussing what really happened is more interesting than snide comments. We found out fairly quickly I think. The phone wasn't jailbroken but his classmates showed him websites where he could go to download apps. Not even sure the nuns at his school or most parents know such things exist, or that he realized it was stealing - things just download (although from your comments apparently kids and parents should be programmed with all this knowledge from birth.)
What's needed is more national discussion about this so parents who are tech clueless (and many of them are) can recognize signs before situations get out of hand I think.
I understand that, I hope the game can bring enjoyment to them if they are living in poverty. But I don't understand how would they afford an iPhone if they have financial problem :o
good to know "I'm entitled to take whatever makes me happy in life" is alive and well everywhere in the world.
If I lived in poverty, I'd be spending my time trying to find work, a better paying job or other financial avenues, not pirating games and usurping funds from devs trying to put food on their own table.
In many cases, it's stealing from the poor, making you a very special kind of scum bag.
I don't think stealing was in his mind. I think the challenge of getting the game was in his mind. Five year olds also climb cabinets to get cookies. It does however beg the question: how many other kids that age are there gaming the system (haha see what I did there?) the way my nephew did? We picture jaded teens or wealthy folks not five year olds yet theyre clearly capable - and part of the marketed-to audience.
Add into this the number of parents who trade phone game time for attention time and it's a disaster recipe imho.
I see soooo much of this.
I am a jailbreaker who always paid the apps. I jailbroke my devices in order to get full control of the system files. I can get rid of the junk logs on a regular basis (almost 1 go each time!). I can also connect to Android phones via bluetooth and I can greatly improve the UI.
.
Not really, the game is still premium and you don't need to download extra stuff. The last version had bigger file size due to my mistake on optimization as well as texture compression.This version fixed that issue. Just want to clear up some misunderstanding :)
Thank you for the clarification, I removed my comment as I don't want mislead people. So, I gonna buy the app :)
Wow, million thanks for the support! Let me know if there's anything I can improve, would like to make better games in the future for everyone :)
I also gave my 5 stars in the french app store (I know it helps). BTW there is a comment from a player who is complaining about the counted deaths at level 7 (he says that is is sure to have killed more than 10 while in the air but the game retained only 10).
Yeah, it's an early issue which I fixed in v1.1 I think. Thanks for reporting though :)
Edit : And thanks for the rating too, it helps a lot, thank you!
Developer here, wow never thought my blog post would reach here. Wished I have some tracking data to check which country pirated it, not that I want to do anything, just out of curiosity. Current monthly active users reached 4.2k, sales around 650 (gave 100 free promo codes yesterday)
Pay for your games you cheap bastards...honestly these games on iOS are only a few bucks.
Well, this post led me to this game - so that's at least one more purchase for you!
Games like this are highly underpriced nowadays compared to 5-10 years ago so I find it highly selfish when users can't spare a few dollars. Maybe it's times to switch this to free to play allowing only minimal features and IAP's to unlock the rest of the content. Of course giving those who already paid full price full access.
Even my own Mom would never spring for $1 to unlock (remove ads) on Angry Birds years ago. But she would complain how she hated the ads. Maybe that's just why I'm so against cheap people that act like every app and game should be free.
By the way I love this game and it's only gotten better with updates. As well I will buy a copy or unlock IAP's whenever I see it on Android. Great game!
I used to download cracked games at first. Then, some time later, I started purchasing them.
And yeah, jailbreaking doesn't mean it's only for getting apps for free. It also helps a lot for managing iDevices, like, being able to free a lot of space by removing temp files (social network apps grow big over time and they're full of crap), customizing UI in order to have a more efficient manner of doing stuff (I find it DUMB disabling/enabling mobile data from the settings app when I can simply use a toggle from the ControlCenter or a swipe gesture), getting rid of ridiculous restrictions which should be optional (like the 100MB size limit download from the AppStore using mobile data for people who have unlimited data plans), being able to force the device to stay on your desired network (2G/3G/4G), or even being able to "build" your apps in order to extract them so you don't have to redownload them (thank you, dumb for removing the "transfer purchases" possibility... I love redownloading my 1GB+ games at 15KB/s), etc...
Even though it causes harm, there's still a lot of potential in jailbreaking iDevices.
And, by the way, nowadays you don't even need to jailbreak a device in order to use cracked apps. 😉
