A very retro feel! The action is smooth and fun, but ranged is definitely the way to go!

Thanks very much for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Yes we love the pixel look of the game, inspired by the likes of Shinobi on the Mega Drive, and Tenchu on the PS1.
Ranged is definitely the best yes. However, Ronin with the sword has a stronger attack and can swipe the throwing stars out of the air.
Oni, the big guy, can also knock them away with his club, but he's very slow.
If we had more time we would have balanced all 3 of them better, and set up the level in such a way where all 3 of them feel as strong and useful as each other.
Thanks again for your feedback.
