This is pretty cool. Its a little hard to control though.

pastry 2014-12-08 11:12

At first a bit frustrating to figure out the controls, but eventually I figured it out and it could be a lot of fun multiplayer! Reminds me of a simplified Toribash.

wayward 2014-12-08 11:19

Amazing, would be better to control on touch devices though

donan 2014-12-08 11:28

Hahahahaha. Controls are hard but its fun to play it ^^

jed-tiotuico 2014-12-08 11:31

I love the concept, the artwork is great and appealing. the music and sound is pleasant. but the core game it's It's to hard to master with a mouse. the AI is frustratingly too good. maybe putting a practice dummy at the first fight?

myachin 2014-12-08 14:22

great!

gallerdude 2014-12-08 20:36

Awesome concept, a tad difficult to control.
Great graphics & sound!

eponesh 2014-12-08 20:40

It's ver very amazing game!!

coderdozer 2014-12-08 20:42

I'm cracking up here, that was hilarious, ha hahaha

oh_andrej 2014-12-08 21:36

For 48h this is REALLY impressive. Reminds me of Rag Doll Kung Fu, just a bit more accessible. Music gets the blood pumping too!

cheshyr 2014-12-08 21:48

Interesting game. Controls were novel, and I never quite figured out how to move. Nice idea and music.

lekochen 2014-12-09 12:45

LOL, I'm not sure how to fight properly but it's just fun mess around the ragdolls.

infectionteam 2014-12-09 16:23

Ahaha I got myself into some rather compromising positions... Anyway this is extremely fun, nice work :D Audio is also really really great.

mrexcessive 2014-12-09 18:44

Hi there. Like the animations and graphics, nice sounds too. The ragdolls were hard to move around feeling in control.

thatsmyjam 2014-12-09 19:52

Hah cool concept. I think different buttons for each limb may work best

windmill-games 2014-12-09 20:16

This was really fun! It took a while to learn how to play, but it was a fun trial and error process :)

well done!

zkenshin 2014-12-09 21:44

Really fun, always like physics based games. I mostly tried to make my guy kick the enemy while moving, instead of actually attacking. Well done. :)

cyrus 2014-12-10 00:38

This is ... f*ing ... HILARIOUS!!!! I want a multiplayer version :D I think the entertainment value in this game is just the impossible body positions experienced in the game :D

zi 2014-12-10 11:21

Hilarious, fun, and addictive. What more could you want? Well, I guess I would like to win more. BUT NEVERTHELESS! Fantastic job!

tsabanski 2014-12-10 11:25

I totally love this. Absolutely.

It is supreme fun to just toss the ragdolls around via random line-drawing. The fact that you got the ragdoll physics this well implemented during a weekend is impressive. :D

The art was great, the sound was great, the humor was off the charts, and I just enjoyed it immensely overall! :)

gafblizzard 2014-12-10 12:31

Great work for compo! The slow motion was well implemented, even though it was QWOP-style complicated to get a ninja to actually be successful with moves.

caporaltito 2014-12-10 13:28

Really nice game!

mintarcade 2014-12-10 14:42

wow game. Nice, I like it.

pete_h 2014-12-10 22:12

Very innovative, but controls were tricky :(

androniq 2014-12-10 23:50

Very impressive and very hard! The computer kills me every time before I can get a move in, but I can't vote you down for my own lack of skill ;). As Jed T said, a practice mode would be good.

flannelvindicate 2014-12-11 17:06

Pssst - You have been featured in today's Ludum Dare to Believe! Check it out at - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-skEj9o26aE

joshua_burr 2014-12-11 18:10

Great fun, slightly awkward to control but a good laugh. It feels as tough it would be more fun 2 player but then no slow-motion.

lukezaz 2014-12-11 19:01

QWOP Ninja is best game of Ludum Dare.
Seriously, A+ humor. Loads of fun.

andrewkennedy 2014-12-11 22:21

Woah this was pretty hard to control - but that was also part of the charm! It felt like QWOP ninja haha.

The slow-motion made for some hilarious action moves. Great job with this!

phocker 2014-12-12 06:01

the mechanics are a little hard to figure out but big marks for innovation - try my game you might like it

simonchauvin 2014-12-12 10:02

Ahah this is so funny. Great job it's really cool to play.

eduardo 2014-12-12 17:48

That's so funny!!

maurogik 2014-12-13 09:47

That's quite and impressive game, character movements rae incredible !

pixel_3 2014-12-14 05:55

This was pretty fun but there's not much meat to it yet with just single player. It needed some crazier physics perhaps. There were moments where the ragdolls were crazy for sure but there velocity never really got very high they just kinda draped over each other. Multiplayer is going to be a major part of this game should you continue it.

manderxan 2014-12-14 06:03

Excellent game! But quite easy.
Make improvements to the opponent, maybe add a limit to the slow motion, throw in a campaign mode and your'e good to go!
Would love to see a variety of opponents, and character customization.

papygaragos 2014-12-14 12:54

A very nive mix of one finger death punch of toribash. I see we have the same tastes in games :D

The control could use some work, I didn't feel I was really in control of what was happening, but it was still fun to play so... good job!

I must admit I would be VERY surprised if you produced those sounds yourself during the 48h compo. It is much more likely that you took them from a site like freesounds.net (which is not allowed). So, just because I can't be 100% sure, I won't rate the audio category.

papygaragos 2014-12-14 21:22

And I take it back. Audio is now rated like any other category :)

apiotrw 2014-12-14 23:14

I think you could work on the graphics

pkenney 2014-12-14 23:28

Hahaha crazy and fun! I enjoyed fooling around with this one, some really insane moments. Nice work.

Nice graphics and sound, too.

rantt 2014-12-16 14:30

The controls were difficult, but this game was just so much fun...lol. Great job :)

bobombe 2014-12-16 19:15

Controls seems a little random but that is very interesting. Graphics and music are awesome !

scam 2014-12-16 19:39

I tried to press H at the title screen and nothing happened. Then I tried to play the game but I didn't understand the controls. Is there any way to go back to help screen once you are in the game?

jjevil 2014-12-16 20:47

Red ninja dry humped me in the corner and there was nothing I could do but watch. Fun and funny.

lereveur 2014-12-16 20:49

The controls are almost totally random, but the mood is here. And I won. :D

davient 2014-12-17 05:11

Loads of fun this. Once I'd messed around and found the right click, and most importantly space bar slow down! Would be good to show these briefly at the start (I know there is a Help function on the menu, but like many out there we all just dive in). Had a lot of fun making my shinobi immitate various streetfighter and mk moves :D.

Really look forward to what you do next with this. Naturally there are so many options. Aside from 1on1 combat I think a side scrolling beat em up like Shank would be fun! Great Job

vladik-plays 2014-12-17 16:48

Game crashed... :C

naoistheguardian 2014-12-19 02:47

Man, I love the music on this one, so cool! Such a silly, fun, game. Great job!

sirdorius 2014-12-20 19:26

Loved the absurdity of the fights! The music is great too! One of the funniest entries definetly!

ddrkirbyisq 2014-12-25 02:37

Wahaha.

dans17 2014-12-30 02:33

Really fun game to play! I definitely want to see a larger post-compo version of this.
