hehe just realised you used Unity not Godot so it had no meaning to share that video XD
Great work on this mechanic! So satisfying to throw the shuriken! Love the 3 am meme!
Well done!

Can I teleport as a ninja? Shuriken!
This was an interesting concept and a fun game to play. I played on stream if you want to check it out. I like that the art style is cohesive throughout. Some of the animations are a little odd, like his knee bends forward, but the back part of it doesn't follow, but then I loved the animation detail you put into his ninja hood flowing when I ran around.
My main critique would be to drop the jump. Take away the player's jump and force me to use the mechanic for all movement. I played a small segment where when I jumped it was just any other platformer, but when I had to shuriken teleport to get to the location it was a fun challenge. If you are going to keep the jump I would remap it to "W" instead of the spacebar.
Overall, great entry. I really enjoyed this one. I liked seeing your progress on Discord and was pumped to try it out for myself. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the detailed feedback! I'll definitely be changing a lot of the stuff you suggested. I might remove the jump, but I think what I may end up doing is either making the platforms so spread apart that the jump becomes useless on it's own, or just make it so you can't jump that high. Also, I watched your stream, just so you know, the "me when the cafe is at 3am" part is a reference to one of my other games, it's kind of an inside joke lol
Hey this game is a really cool mechanic and I like the art and play.
One suggestion I would make is that there is time between throwing the star and clicking the button a second time to teleport. At the moment there is nothing that you can do during this time to affect the teleporting. Like the teleport might as well be instant since nothing you do impacts the teleport. So it would be interesting if you thought of something to do in the game between throwing the star and starting the teleport to make use of this feature.
