Sometimes the death animation gets stuck in an infinite loop it seems. That double jump animation is pretty sweet!

Oh, when you die the animation repeats until you press any button on your computer. One of the many things I forgot to make clearer. Thanks for the compliment :)
Nice game!
But since the game is full keyboard, why do I need my mouse to click on play after each death while I could have used one of the game keys.
I trued to play, but Symantec flagged the file as a threat. Is suspect it was because it was hosted on mediafire.

I got off work with an hour left to go in the competition, and I didn't have about a third of the content done. I had to do a rush job on the menu, though a simple "Press Z to play" could have worked instead of the mouse...

I'll upload the game to YoYo Games as well and post the link here soon.
What kind of ninja gets one shuriken at a time? =) I love the double jump animation, neat little platformer.
Added a mirror link at the top of the description.
I fell off the side into a pit of infinite despair..
Difficult but fun
@moomoo112, Yeah, I should probably fix that, I'll upload a new version soon, but until then, you can restart the room by pressing "T."
New version updated! Removed the infinite falling glitch and made Z and X start the game as well.
It was a pretty decent game, good job
Great game! Pretty addicting, but really difficult.
Nice little game, with pretty satisfying controls and animations. Some very simple sound would add a lot to this. I also found myself wishing to be able to wall jump and do other sweet ninja moves, but I guess it had to be minimal :) Good job!
The double jump feels good (so does the occasional triple jump). I liked the procedural stuff. Would like to see ability to aim the shuriken.
@IHateATMFees XD I had actually planned on having the ability to shoot up and down as well, but I only remembered to put it in minutes after the deadline. Lack of sleep can do some weird things :)
@netadept Actually, you can kind of do a wall jump if you throw your shuriken up against a wall and grab it. I'll take that idea into consideration, though, when I add on to the game!
Heh, pretty fun, albeit a tad too difficult in my opinion. Graphics were nice and added to the minimalism theme if you ask me. The whole thing was a fairly stripped down platformer I suppose, so you get decent points there. Good job, though I recommend using something like dropbox next time for storing your game.
Fun, but maddeningly difficult. The platforming action is smooth. Maybe you could make the player be able to take three hits before dying?
I appreciated the randomness that combined with switching graphics kept the game interesting.
@DaGamesta
Switched over to Dropbox per your request. I've learned something new for July, now!
@Dietrich Epp
My original idea was to remove the need for HUD elements like life and score, but I will think about that for newer versions.
Sort of on the difficult side. Plays well otherwise. Could use a bit more in the innovation area.
Good start to a platformer.
Nice game! But losing on the first hit and having to restart a completely different level from the start is "a bit" harsh. I would have liked to explore the randomly generated levels a bit further...
Really fun, but day-um - that was a tough game! I only he ran a little faster, but yeah - very cool entry!
I love the graphics style, maybe a little difficult but a very fine entry
@stqn That is another thing that never got past the idea stage. I'll add more lives in a future update.
Thanks for all the comments and ideas!
Really like the random generation! Nice animations too and the game is challenging and fun.
I can tell you put a lot of thought into the level generation. The jumping and shooting is very fluid. I found it quite hard because of the one hit death but I suppose that was the point. Nice work!
I found it quite heard! I liked: the double-jump, the difficulty. Maybe the game could be a little smoother?
I found the controls to not be very intuitive. One of the levels I played was extremely easy and uninteresting, so the random generation may need some tweaking. The art is neat, particularly the double jump animation.
