it was really well executed but the maybe let player switch mid air and also take input from mouse button nice work!
Thanks for your feedback!
Oh god where do I begin, the art is wonderful, and the aesthetic fits the concept pretty well, well done on that. The concept is also pretty nice in itself, and I think it's a nice twist on a classic take of the theme of the jam.
Sound effects: I love that you can mute them, but would prefer if you could turn then down with a volume slider, it's just a little bit too loud for me.
Graphics: Beautiful
Gameplay: Super fast paced and addictive, even though I wasn't very good at it after 10 minutes of playing ;(
Suggestions:
- A "return to menu" option in the death screen
- The controls don't seem very intuitive to me, perhaps change the "action" to the space bar?
- Sometimes the characters have to do actions staggered, e.g, the jump, and then the attack has to happen after, but doing that will almost certainly get the ninja killed.
- For game jams in general I recommend finding a difficulty that works for you, the game developers, and then turning it down by not one, but two notches before releasing. This is a mistake that I also made in my submission, albeit it's really hardcore here.
Really great jam entry, I enjoyed playing it!
Thank you for the detailed feedback! We’ll take them into account in a post jam version, so stay tuned!
Ahh, this game is so challenging!
The controls are very easy, love it, and I'll keep playing until I beat my high score (3300).
Maybe let them switch when in the air, that would make it easier.
Well done!
Thanks for the feedback! [And do tell us when you beat the hiscore 😜]
The aesthetics are really nice and I like the concept of the two characters having different abilities. I'm not ready for such a challenge though, I must meditate under a waterfall while I consider how to improve.
remember my student: xcc
Thanks!
This is so hard to play but overall enjoyable!! The background is pretty cool! Nice job
The game is really fun and challenging!
I would suggest allowing players to switch even mid-air, otherwise the game gets too hard to play at times, also the gun guy is very hard to beat so you can make him a lot less common
Overall an amazing entry to the jam, great job!
Thanks for the feedback!
A fun runner game! I like the variety of enemies and things to jump over. I unfortunately could never get past a single gun enemy. The switching mechanic wasn't super responsive at time and i couldn't switch in time for my next jump. Very visually pleasing and the animation is spectacular.
Thanks!
Gun guy is kind of impossible, but I liked the flow of it all. good job
U know, u need to train like samurai - 10 years to beat him
guess I'll have to move to the Himalayas to find great sensei boongoo.
May you find the knowledge you seek 😅
Wow, this was a tough one! Really well implemented and I like the idea of the characters switching to where they are needed. Good job!
Thank you for your kind words! :)
It was one of the games that was performant enough to run on my potato computer, I appreciate that!
Also, neat idea, combined runner. Would appreciate tighter/faster controls for maximum responsivity though.
Agreed! Will be working on fixing that!
The main mechanic is awesome but it's really hard. It looks great and has a nice heavy atmosphere.
Thank you!
What a polished game! The only issue is that it's freaking difficult! Lmao. I hate that damn gunner! The game fits the theme perfectly, the sound effect and graphics matched together along with the music. Although, as someone has said, I wish I could switch mid-air too so that I can kill that goddamn gunner! Above all, gg, well done for this project!
thank u ! we working on finishing this game, and we will fix this guy +)
It is brilliant! Love the art, funny and frustrating gameplay!
Thanks a lot!
I like the concept! Little suggestion, allow character switching while in air, that would help a lot! Good work on this jam!
Will do :) Thanks a lot!
The game is visually very pleasing, however, I'm afraid that the game is way too hard. I wasn't able to survive for more than 5 seconds and that was me doing my very best.
Thanks for the feedback!
Nice game, but really hard. Also, it's a bit annoying that you can't switch while the ninja is in the air.
We’ll tune down the difficulty soon
funny, but hard to watch out on two layers. I gave up after the 3rd try
Fun, but a bit too hard. I was having trouble keeping track of what was happening on both sides at the same time, and it felt a little annoying and unreliable/unresponsive that I couldn't switch to the samurai mid-jump, as it felt the game was arbitrarily missing inputs and getting me killed until i realized.
Still, the idea is great and once you get the hang of it, very fun.
Thanks man
Cool mechanics, very difficult gameplay, should make the hazards appear less at the beginning so the player can get used to the control, great job overall!
thanks man!
