Pretty interesting physics with a fun take on the theme, nice job! Scored 19 on my second go (once I'd actually read the controls :D)

Music loop is short but nice, good to see more people try sound in the aggressive compo timeframe!

I had a fantastic time playing this. Once I was able to get him flipping around the room I was laughuing for a good 5 minutes. I didn't even pay atention to the time honestly. I wonder how this would play as a local multiplayer pvp game. 2 ninjas flopping about with swords on their heads? Nice work!

Nice arcade game; good job making a game with a limited number of asset. Looks like you had the time to make the art for the main player quite nice. I'm not sure I've figured out how the controls are affecting the figure, but I had fun watching the poor guy flail around. I think I hit 10.

Pretty hilarious concept, would be amazing if there were actual combat involved!

Oh jeez, this is both hilarious and fun to play! I only got 5 melons, but I can finally realise my subconscious dream of becoming a narwhal-ninja!

I really liked the responsiveness of the controls, but felt like the level design was lacking. Flying off, I'd get lost and not find any uncut melons for a while. Maybe just have a small arena with melons being thrown around?

The game is hilarious, I especially like when the ninja flies off! Gameplay is a little lacking overall though, and the controls are wonky. But I guess that is on purpose, to emulate QWOP type gameplay (I guess?)

This is such a weird and funny idea.
Tell me: was this based on real life experiences?

QWOP? :D nice use of the theme!

madameberry 2015-04-20 21:40

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever played. Congrats.

Also, this is better than QWOP. There I said it!

Those quivering legs ... :D

Great game. It's so satisfying when you are able to spin through the air and a lot of fun. Very funny concept and well executed!

I had a lot of fun with this!

Amusing works :-)
It is genre with the potential.

This was.. weird :P - The music was a nice match. The physics was actually fairly nice, although the game was fairly hard. Fun little game though.

TIL: ninjas are deadly even if a bad case of epilepsy should befall them.

Most hilarious game I've ever played. Excellent work.

hhahhaaha,so fucking funny! Awesome idea!

pi_pi3 2015-04-28 18:11

I got 18 on the 3rd try. Awesome game. Android port maybe?

sergi-montaner 2015-04-28 20:41

This game is super bizarre in a good way.
I didn't feel I controlled the ninja when suddenly it jumped, but it fas funa and hilarious.

grillaface 2015-04-29 21:21

Obviously stupid hard to control but stupid awesome nonetheless :) Great job, really smooth and hilarious. ++

Fantastic music, very groovy. Nice innovation too. It was difficult but I had a good time, reminded me of QWOP! Well done! :)
