Tiny Pixels Vol 1 Ninpo Blast – now on PC and consoles

In the market for some retro SHMUP action? Want it in the vertically-scrolling fashion? The catchily titled Tiny Pixels Vol. 1 – Ninpo Blast is now available. 

Sitting under the Eastasiasoft publishing and development banner is Tiny Pixels Vol. 1 – Ninpo Blast. It’s present on the store pages of Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC as players are given the opportunity to go blasting. One. More. Time. 

Shoot up them insects

Fully optimised for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, Tiny Pixels Vol. 1 – Ninpo Blast is the first in an upcoming line of pixel art titles that have been inspired by the arcade – and console – classics of the past. We’re expecting Eastasiasoft to go pushing the rest of these out on a fairly regular basis. 

Drop into the madness of this one and you’ll be left to face off against all many of foes. Swarms of mythical insect baddies are your opponents, with them rushing you like there is no tomorrow. Thank god then for your arsenal of weapons; shuriken, bombs and more are all ready for use. 

With various hoverbikes to take charge of, as well as different shot types and unique themes, there’s little chance that we could ever label Tiny Pixels Vol. 1 – Ninpo Blast as boring. Far from it in fact, and whilst we’ll fully consider everything for full review, some unique boss types, collectible coins and more should excite. 

Key Features

  • Master bullet hell stages against swarms of insect baddies!
  • Easily switch between focus or spread shot types.
  • Collect coins to buy permanent upgrades, making you more powerful for future runs.
  • Unlock new hoverbike skins to customize the experience!
  • Face off against 6 big boss types and challenge online leaderboards.
  • Enjoy unique background music and graphical themes across multiple stages!

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
