Awesome!

ludipe 2013-08-25 22:27

I keep killing them O_0, why do you have do die!?!? xD

Simple yet very fun game

balta 2013-08-26 00:07

Brilliant!

This game is very fun! It's a simple design, yet you portray the theme very well. Graphics are very cool, and I would have never thought up an idea like this!
Overall, 8.5/10 from me!

Very good style and rhythm. It needed something a bit more though.

Fantastic. I cheated a bit with my watch, after my usual technique of singing the first few bars of Stars and Stripes didn't work.

I don't know if you have played warioware on the gamecube, but they had a 5 sec timer game, and they counted the first second for you. I think that would be super helpful here, just a quick audio beep to give tempo.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-26 08:20

This idea is great :)

okmmjyygv 2013-08-26 09:10

Brilliant!

Woa, very challenging. In the first place, i tried to kill them all... it was satisfying. Well done :)

zedutchgandalf 2013-08-26 13:44

I managed to kill them all but got 0 points :o
Very simple but nice concept! :)

mrspeaker 2013-08-26 14:28

That is so much fun. I don't know why I like counting so much!

gre 2013-08-26 16:12

Excellent! Would need more levels :-)

skyr 2013-08-26 16:34

Very fun game. Simple but fun. Only once I managed to save them all.

capro 2013-08-26 16:39

Interesting and well realized idea but, in my opinion, it needs more levels.

clurect 2013-08-26 17:14

That was fun!

necmelt2006 2013-08-26 20:23

Great game, very fun ^^

meep 2013-08-26 22:04

Very smart idea! Might have been cool with more variations of it (Such as not being able to see the swords, etc.). Cute graphics too, great work!

tudd 2013-08-26 22:06

Very fun, sort of funny too. I got 9/9 but I had to use a metronome :P

My best score with no timing help was 8/9

devi-ever 2013-08-27 05:38

GOTY 10/10 ALL YEARS!

alexrose 2013-08-27 13:42

Saved all the ninjas! 8521 score without looking at a timer :p . It took 5 tries though. Really cool idea, and it's pretty much impossible to fit the theme any more than this :p .

teambob 2013-08-27 19:04

Great game! Score: 832 :D

naufr4g0 2013-08-27 19:54

Awesome little game! :)
Good concept and a lot of fun!
I got 9/9! next step 0/9!

mboaj 2013-08-27 20:02

nice. love the theme. what about making it multiplayer (multikey)? more player at the same time trying to get rhythm :D

wintermute 2013-08-27 22:13

Amazingly simple idea, but it works, and fits the theme perfectly. Could not beat it yet though! In a more advanced/extended version, I would include some additional source of feedback, like audio/visual, to help timing. But also, I seem to be quite bad hence maybe it's only me!

larzan 2013-08-28 14:51

Hehe, love the idea! Very creative interpretation of the theme, top!

codecranker 2013-08-30 02:03

Interesting. Haven't seen anything like this so far.

bombjack 2013-08-30 10:05

Simple but effective! great!

gvmakesgames 2013-08-30 18:28

Simple yet funny game :D My record is of 9 alive...

sestren 2013-09-02 10:19

I would love to see a Post-Compo version that explored this mechanic in further detail. Even more mini-games centered around precise timing and/or memory would be incredible and make for a really fun game. Awesome job, and a great use of the theme.

otus 2013-09-02 20:40

Nice concept!

I like the graphics and presentation.
Good job!

hyperbox 2013-09-11 01:55

Simple yet fun and effective.

xhunterko 2013-09-13 09:33

Not sure what to say here. I thought at first it was on a pendulum swinging back and forth. Then it didn't Was I supposed to kill the ninja? Cause I got them all to survive and yet, no score. I killed some, and no score. What was the end goal here? Is there a way to get the score? Or is that not added? Fairly confusing.

mrblade 2013-09-15 06:25

Nice little game. Fun. Good graphics. Nice sounds. Good take on the theme. 6/10.

gamepopper 2013-09-15 12:27

Cute graphics, really good timing aspect to it.

infernet89 2013-09-15 12:43

Nice entry! The only way i could save all ninjas was waiting 10 seconds between the first and the second spacebar press.. Looks like i have a really bad timing!

tompudding 2013-09-15 13:43

Superb idea, great execution. Well done!

manuq 2013-09-15 21:17

gfm 2013-09-15 21:59

Your take on the theme was really unique. I don't remember any other game using something like this.

The game was good and quite hard! I really liked it! :D
