I like it, though its really difficult. I watched you make the game for the last 6 hours or so while I was working on my game. Did you consider making the jump button just right mouse instead of right mouse and up? I feel like that would make it a lot easier.
I love the spinning arms mechanic!
I felt so BA playing this game, but the mechanics are a little janky.
Awesome! This was actually a lot of fun. After figuring out the controls, I found them surprisingly intuitive. It is challenging but I could honestly fins myself playing this to pass the time. Nice work!
This is a lot of fun! Love being able to just swing his arms around in slow-mo jumps. Good work :)
Really awesome mechanic! I've never seen controls like this. Jumping is a little difficult though, because you either jump way too far or not far enough.
Weirdest thing is that I couldn't get the Linux binary to work correctly. It used a window that was about twice my desktop (FullHD) and I couldn't see the game. However, the Windows version worked just fine under Wine.
Nice work. The ninja's running feet animation is hynoptic... Slow-mo was great, slicing up a ninja star mid-air made me feel better about losing so much.
Are the levels procedurally generated? Too many walls!
Man, this turned out a lot harder than I thought it would! But the animation came out amazing! All animations should be math based! Its the future!
Watched this on stream and I have to agree with the above, the math based animations were brilliant. Well done.
This is REALLLLLLLLLLY fun and innovative. I mean, it's a "runner", sure... but I really feel like I'm in some kind of action film. The slo mo effects with sound and the ability to rotate in midair are my favorite effects. It's a little tough, sure... but that's what kept me coming back for more! I say polish this sucker up and keep going. Keep a minimalist art style... it works... but maybe stylize it a bit. You have something really awesome, here. CONGRATS!
5/5 for the jumping alone.
the best one game.
Took me a few tries to get a good grasp of the controls. The game gets better and betters every time I play it ! Nice work !
this game is cruel. I was totally looking forward to slicing up some bad boys after all the instruction on sword fighting and then all I get are dull throwing stars -_- :) Nice work tough and could turn out really interesting with some polish.
Spinning the arms is totally fun! But be warned, this game is hard.
Love this game, i felt like a ninja hehe, and love the Stella thing :D
A love ninja games and this was something that really gave you the ability to be like one. Really loved the mechanics, could use some music though and it was a bit difficult. Nice overall good job.
This is the kind of running game I enjoy playing, it has that certain finesse that feels more satisfying than just simple jump. Definitely challenging! With the right art and animation this would be great!
i like the players feet animation , but thought the enviroment and obsticles could heve been slightly more detailed to add a bit more character. Effects are really cool though. fun but realy hard.
I liked it, but the controls could use some more work. Jumping and aiming attacks is too wonky.
This game has HIGH potential to be absolutely fun. Like competition winning fun. The controls are SO UNGODLY DIFFICULT that I don't even want to bother learning them.
If this game just had a little bit more polish it would be perfect! The concept is great!
This game is really nice and the controls are very interesting. Good job! :D
Current control scheme is good. The only thing I have trouble with is measuring the jump distance.
The famous 'jump to the spike every now and then' kind of thing!
Randomness gets pretty brutal often times.
Doing the spinning thing over and over is quite funny
My best score was merely 183. Cool twist on the genre.
I like the graphics, sound effects and the slow motion very much. Only the controls are a little complicated and take some time to get used to.
Fun as hell... love the slo-mo. I totally sucked at it, but the random levels were sweeeet.
Fun, innovative, nice graphics.. but so hard.. and a little bit repetitive. Movements are really impressive. Very good work :)
Wow, this game is super harsh. I like it! It reminds me of the old NES-era games where you learned or you died (kind of like an 8-bit Game of Thrones ;)).
I got into it a few tries in, when the controls started making sense. Didn't make it easier though! Overall: liked it. Maybe ramp up the difficulty slower, a little bit? The controls were okay, but would probably work really well on a tablet, with touch-controls.
i like it but is too difficult -- great job
I can't play the game. It opens a gigantic window which is more than my 2 monitors. And there's no way to scale it down.
this plays really well and is rather fun to play, it can be really difficult to judge the jumps however
Wuw, really strange jump and control, but when you understand it's fun.
