Loved the artwork you've done for the samurais and the character sprites too. Spent all my Koku on the medium samurai at first since I thought that was THE best samurai to get. Then the spear samurais showed up and wrecked me good haha.
I don't know it if was intentional or not but the samurai's lives still goes down even if you didn't take a hit at the end of a level.
Overall a cute and fun game.
