Loved the art, thought the weapon was pretty unconventional. It seemed like it was nearly impossible though, I kept getting obstacles in both lanes at the same time, made it quite hard! Great game though :D

GREAT CONCEPT! I found it hard to decide whether to jump or switch lanes, and sometimes found I would need to jump and then I'd hit something before I landed. Everything worked for me though! :) It just needs some obstacle generation balancing. It could be cool to have very unique moments that using the origami would be a good idea. Reall I just think the main thing missing from this is clear distinction from the different elements. The concept is there, and the words at the beginning got me immersed a little. :)

I liked the idea, it was pretty unique. The jumping could require some tuning, but otherwise, it's a nice game!

druid 2015-04-21 10:24

Awesome concept, but controls were pretty stiff :/. Anyway Still funny little game.

mcburrobit 2015-04-21 10:32

The idea is awesome! I would love to see this polished into a final product, would definitely pay for a game with this concept!

kaijuu 2015-04-21 10:38

Hand game! Cool concept
I like ninjas in any way

the-capitalist-crayfish 2015-04-21 10:39

Pretty fun! I liked the graphics too, no need to call 'em questionable!

dracomagna 2015-04-21 13:50

The idea is fun, but the game is really hard and the jump feels like the game takes place on the moon.

onetrueaaron 2015-04-21 13:53

You're probably aware of the bugs, so overall pretty fun game, and innovative for sure. A bit dense with the obstacles, but i dug the music and the graphics. The whole thing flowed nicely.

mouch 2015-04-21 13:53

I like the concept but the controls are a little bit odd.
Also it is really hard to dodge the obstacles because they are often in two or three lanes at the same time!

teamcalcium 2015-04-21 13:57

Good entry but I think that it is too overloaded especially when you are a first time player. The lack of a tutorial makes it pretty hard.

jungle 2015-04-21 14:02

I love the idea and the way we make origamis. But i think it is a bit difficult, needs a player thats thinks fast, and this is not me! :D Graphs are good too, I loved! Needs some polishment on menu. Great job!

reccy 2015-04-21 14:45

It was pretty fun, but the controls are quite stiff. If the controls were more fluid, it would definately improve the game.

siryakko 2015-04-21 16:36

Nice and hardcore

pixzleone 2015-04-21 16:38

Remember to "post" your scores in comments. 11/10 humor. Good Job!

hotboxgames 2015-04-21 16:46

Really cool concept and art! Was a little hard though :p

manicminer 2015-04-21 17:12

its a cool idea, but the hazard spawner hates all human life and wants to make us suffer :)

seconddimension 2015-04-21 17:29

This game was so hard, my best score was -1100! Perhaps fewer obstacles would have been a bit easier. Still there were some really good points. I think the mini game with the arrows was cool and could be expanded upon, plus overall it was an original and interesting idea

oniiram 2015-04-21 19:43

Nice concept! A bit too difficult for me xD

pikmin4000 2015-04-21 21:05

I was dying and at my last breath I ran to the old lady talking on the phone. I said, "please". She said, "no ninjas". I was smacked in the head and I died

My score was 200.

leom 2015-04-22 17:14

-200 for my best, it's to hard for me ! ^^

dustoutgames 2015-04-23 21:41

Liked the idea, but it felt really hard to control. Even though I was jumping and dodging, and shooting, I was still hitting a BUNCH of stuff. I did really like the music, and using mail as an origami weapon was neat!

hbocao 2015-04-24 00:21

Very interesting idea, but kinda confusing at first. It was hard to know upfront what could be destroyed or not. Very cool interpretation of theme! Who don't like Ninjas? haha

blobo 2015-04-24 00:25

really well done. i love the art and the gameplay was smooth. felt like a really well done game.

hexdie 2015-04-24 00:28

I like the general idea of this, it's pretty original. However, it seemed next to impossible to avoid the obstacles and making the origami brings the action to a complete halt. The graphics looked good though!

xandy 2015-04-24 00:31

i like the idea but the controls suboptimal and more feedback in the game would have been great. loved the concept though,something worth working further on!

ruka 2015-04-25 04:27

like the origami making part, pretty fun~! but when we're in the bottom lane the obstacle is just the car passing through,and the top and mid lane are full of stuff, which make it unbalance. it would be a nicer game if there's a balancing part. Keep ut the good work~!

paveldlouhy 2015-04-25 19:55

I have to say the same thing as siryakko: "Nice and hardcore"

trasevol_dog 2015-04-25 20:48

Nice concept and quite difficult game ! Maybe too difficult... But cool game anywayz :D

pilly 2015-04-25 22:48

Love the origami mechanic - pressing the correct key combo in the limited time was really fun, and the satisfying key press sounds made for a really nice player experience. Would be nice to incorporate that into the game somehow, instead of having it be a separate menu - maybe having time slow down but still being able to see the main game.

Not sure if this is supposed to happen, but if you destroy the car, it doesn't come back and you can just stay in the bottom lane.

Really nice pixel art and music too. Great job!

frozenfire92 2015-04-26 00:17

I got a high score of 400.

It was an interesting concept but it was confusing how you actually delivered the letters. I liked the origami creation mini game! Controls felt rigid and poorly explained. Overall great work!

tetraquad 2015-04-27 04:19

The jump took some getting used to because it seemed a bit delayed, but I loved all the art and the concept was good.

asobitech 2015-05-01 07:45

Enjoyed the idea.
Needs tightening up and tweaking, to make it flow better.

exeneva 2015-05-05 06:30

Interesting concept. I found the placement of obstacles to be a bit random, but overall it's not a bad 'sidescrolling endless runner'.

photon 2015-05-09 14:36

Just run on the road the entire time. That seems to be the way to go. :P

Pretty goofy and a little unorthodox: I wish the weapon usage was simpler and not so jarring relative to the rest of the gameplay. But its still a really neat idea and I definitely like the weapon making sequence even if it is quite out of place. With a little tweaking, maybe you could streamline it? Nice entry all the same.

smokecastles 2015-05-10 22:14

Really difficult game, but I love the concept and the mood!
