I can't load the page. It says the server isn't responding.

Worked for me. Fun game. "Can't see the enemies", you sly dog you.

Wish there were more levels. Loved the title screen.

Woo! I'm a real ninja! Fun game, was on second to last checkpoint before I figured it out.

hamrath 2013-04-29 18:23

Nice one, but it was too much trial and error.

brassawiking 2013-04-29 20:39

Nice flow and good gameplay design. Keep it up!

toastyabraham 2013-04-29 20:44

Good, would have been more fun if there was a way of telling the difference between objects that instantly kill you, are platforms you're meant to go and on destructible objects.

I really liked this game. I liked the trial and error. It reminded me of an 80's game (really difficult but engaging). Plus, not knowing what would kill you or not only added to the challenge! Plus the guy looks like the guy from Cave Story, so that's cool.

Great game!

shaneshanekavanagh 2013-04-29 20:47

Really hight quality, nice one.

This is really good, using sound to understand how to advance is a great mechanic. Would love to see it expanded.

macroz 2013-04-29 21:05

Graphics need work and the second to last room was a bit long, but otherwise good start!

devwouter 2013-04-29 23:18

Only problem I had was that it wasn't clear what I could or could not touch.

neight 2013-04-29 23:19

This one was kind of fun. It was a little irritating figuring out which blocks were deadly, and the sound got annoying pretty quick.

daisuke909 2013-04-29 23:19

The concept of having to guess which things hurt you is interesting. It's just too frequently that it becomes a game of trial and error.

darkx2 2013-04-29 23:19

A cool nice game. I really love the details of the Ninja (the eyes!) - while still keeping a minimalistic game.

The not knowing what you face was not so much fun, even though you could check with your weapon.

purplemoustache 2013-04-29 23:20

For a game you claim is "not that good", I had a REALLY good time!

kunonooni 2013-04-29 23:20

Excellent use of theme. Definitely engaging and challenging. Very well done.

themightycomp 2013-04-29 23:20

Nice graphics, good minimalistic concept, and the game has a nice difficulty curve - not due to control issues, but level design (which is a good thing). Overall, very good job.

bleating 2013-04-29 23:20

I love the use of sound to differentiate between the dangerous and safe objects, but a lot of people seem to be missing that detail. Might be worthwhile to explain it a bit more explicitly? :\

fabricio-brito 2013-04-29 23:21

Nice concept and title! Worked fine and the gameplay is intuitive, so congrats!

ataxkt 2013-04-30 13:50

My god this is hard. Fun, but frustrating at times.

ysengrimm 2013-04-30 13:51

Really funny idea, but sometimes really challenging. Not bad for 48 hours.

multitude 2013-04-30 15:36

I want to see more of this. really liked it. specially that all the cubes are in the same color.

rmatey 2013-04-30 15:36

Great little platforming :)

hatscat 2013-04-30 16:52

Complete, simple, minimalist, really fun and well designed.
Well done!

euske 2013-05-01 09:13

I love the simplicity.

brotherst 2013-05-01 15:59

Great game! maybe the collision detection could be better but that was fun nonetheless.

vona0041 2013-05-01 15:59

Fun game, cool little ninja, i wish his shurikens would've came in handy at more places though!

ltyrosine 2013-05-01 16:37

The ninja could have less inertial movement. Other than that nice job, liked it.

diningphilosopher 2013-05-01 16:39

Nice game, funny how much you can do with some black squares and rectangles. Only in the end I remembered the hint given in the beginning and used it in the last part. ;)

siondream 2013-05-01 17:15

Nince ninja mechanic, using the shurikens to know more about the environment is great :-D.

ecool377 2013-05-02 02:10

Great game would love to see more in the future :D

jellycakes 2013-05-02 02:18

Cool little game. Really enjoyed playing it, kept me interested. Good job

7soul 2013-05-02 18:53

I liked the concept, and I think it fits the theme very well.

alucard-j 2013-05-03 00:46

Fun little game, very clever not being able to tell what the objects are. Very nice use of save points. Well Done =]

kibertoad 2013-05-09 18:55

Heh, nice twist.
