It's awesome! I also like how water responds to your movement and ramps change your jump direction.
Well, point nicely made! Though I'd say that there can never be enough games about ninjas. :D
really nice entry! i really like that you have a little story and philosophy in there
Love your use of theme and how it evolves over the course of the story. Game could use some polish but for 48 hours its really well done.
*This is a "Cool story!" comment*
Hey, a LD game with a positive and serious message! That's really rare and commendable. I kind of wish it had been a bit more subtle, though - the game kind of shoves the conclusion in your face rather than lets you come to the realization on your own.
I like the jumping mechanic, too. Well done : )
Yeah, I agree chardish. I ran out of time a little to finesse the writing or build a couple more levels for better pacing. But hey, 48 hours you know? ;-D Thanks for playing and thanks for feedback.
very nice! i found the jumping physics very tricky but i really liked the concepts. and extra points for unicycle. clever!
Really neat. Good message.
Cheers capnramses for feedback. Yeah, it's difficult to think about how other people are going to play it once you've playtested it a million times! Glad you liked the rest though.
This is cool - I like the way the game looks and feels. The messages are cool as well. The audio is well done and fits well with the graphical style. Some interesting puzzles, and a good use of a well built mechanic in many different ways.
Nice moody feeling. Quite fun!
Really liked the way you interpreted the theme - interesting use of the physics too.
I really like the style of this one. I couldn't get past the "Aren't you bored?" level - might be a browser bug, but the whole level appears filled in. Not sure if that was intentional. Still, excellent.
Good music, and I like the message. Physics and jumping managed to be entertaining too. One thing I will say though is that theme repetition isn't entirely due to the same people making it - it's also because of things like cost (why you see so many indie pixel art games) and just the difficulty of making a game that pushes people towards a "safe" genre game instead of an art game - often, it's just too much to risk what could be months of years of work for the sake of art. That said, yeah, diversity would help.
This is a fun game! I love the 'pawn on a unicycle' player character. The physics were well done and made jumps just the right level of difficulty. The in game comments were clever but also accurate.
Solid game, Excellent use of the theme. Soothing sounds and simple graphics. A great submission.
I really liked the theme of this game, the text and all that you say. But the game itself doens't fit that feeling. Maybe it's on purpose.
I liked it :)
I highly enjoyed this. Interesting concept of a game where message is as important as gameplay. Good idea with the unicycle.
Very good entry indeed. I particularly liked the visuals. The water and the darkening of the background to show the player character. And the physics worked well too. I might have made it slightly less floaty (higher gravity), but then that kind of went well with the ethereal feel of the game. Congrats. :)
awesome. super awesome. Music is just SO goood.
Totally agree with "Games reflect who we are as creators" :)
Very nicely done, I don't really agree with your point about games not having much diversity, but very well made nonetheless.
Great job! Controls were were very solid. I had a lot of trouble with those platforms though.
Really depressive...

Really nice mood and stuff. Nice work.
Oh god. Totaly forgot about that characters don't have the same length in that font.
Sorry about the troubles with platforms - it's a hard line to tread without playtesting how hard a game is. I think if I was doing something similar in the future I'd make it easier! But many thanks for the feedback - it's all good!
