This was a good game! I liked the atmosphere and story and I thought the gameplay was pretty fun as well. The enemy design, sound effects, and music were cool too. Good job!

The game was pretty fun and challenging! I think I was fighting more so with the controls then the actual enemies themselves, but I eventually was able to beat it! I know its been said a lot already, but multi-directional shuriken throws would have been really helpful (kept forgetting that the shuriken is thrown where the character is facing because I was playing with the mouse). Also, I think that the sprites are a tad too big, and makes it really hard to see and react to enemies coming towards you. It would usually just force me to just slowly inch my way through the level, which I don't think you want in an action game like this. Besides that, the art assets are really nice! The teleport effect is just really well done! It looks so good with the lighting, so good job on that! The music and the sound effects all nicely fit into the game too! Just gotta say though, I really love the explanation for why enemies can walk through walls haha.
Overall, this was a nice game, but I think it was more challenging than it was intended to be. With a few fixes on the controls, it would have been made for a better playing experience (also find it weird that space bar doesn't also continue through the dialogue). I had a lot of fun trying not to die in this one! Great work!
Thank you so much for all your feedback! That's really helpful to hear and also really nice to know you took your time to play and let me know! That's a good point about the inching forward i hadn't considered, i'll think about zooming out the camera or something! And also haha yeah the classic "It's a bug not a feature" :') Thanks a lot though i'll definitely take your comments forward!
The game seams really cool! I like the artstyle and the gameplay a lot. One thing I struggled a bit with, was the attack mechanic, but after a while I got used to it. Music was also quite calming. Other than that, I like the game a lot!
Art is awesome! Love the style. Only frustrating part about the gameplay was that you could only shoot in 4 directions...might suggest 8 so you can shoot diagonally. Otherwise great submission!
Wow the animations and art were awesome! Took me a bit to get used to the attack but once I got the hang of it it was pretty easy to get the bad guys. I really liked the lighting affects too. Over all the game looked amazing and played well. Good job
I like the atmosphere and the graphics (especially the starting effect). For the combat, I feel it could be better if we can shoot according to where we click on the mouse and not according to the walk direction. I was also surprised to see some Japanese kanjis in the game :)
Good story and graphics, the combat is tricky but fun. I like the teleport effect too, nice work!
I think the combat you be a bit more refined. very dificult to actually hit stuff
Fantastic i had fun and enjoyed the game i dono why but i started to call the main ninja sonji ryu while playing lol keep up the good work!
