Zen - Intergalactic Ninja

Screenshots

A blue ninja character stands on a yellow-brown tiled platform in the center-left area, with a red ninja opponent positioned lower-left. The isometric playfield shows layered platforms in brown and green against a black background. A striped yellow and red barrier spans the top, with blue diagonal striping on upper platforms. The HUD displays purple boxes at the bottom: a life counter on the left reading "5000" with three blue dots, and an inventory section on the right showing a small grid icon. Green pipe elements and architectural details are visible in the upper-right corner. The pixel art employs a limited color palette typical of NES-era graphics.
