Hi,

A straight-forward entry, I had some fun. The comments are funny at first but can get a little annoying.

Nice! At first I didn't understand why dead at the last stage, but fun. I like voice.

I found it really fun, hard (for me) but fun! I felt the hurtbox and hitbox areas were a little off, but the idea was cool overall

Voice over was pretty annoying... entry was okay to play... Would make the other ninjas a bit slower xD Second level weapon is a bit worthless... I preferred to dodge fights than to try and fight. A small cooldown between hits you take would be good as well, to allow you to "get out" of combat and prepare again.

Good luck!

Lol, the deadpan voice made it! :)

I couldn't get past level 3, needed just a bit more limited invincibility. :P

Pretty hilarious game! Every time the game started talking I was like "shut up kid!" Great entry, high marks from me.

This is one of the most fun games in the jam. I hope you get more traffic. You mock us so well. Raising apples is a pretty awesome attack and I really like how you float in the air with your arms apart like its some sort of huge spell and then four apples fall. Brilliant! The enemy animations are actually really well done and while simple I feel that they are a lot more effective and charming than many of the more detailed character art you see around the compo. Super funny and one of my favorites.

Oh my gosh! Thank you guys so much for all the great comments, and advice! You guys are awesome! :)

Dat voice though.

Whaaa...?

The sound effects were very funny, haha. Hats off, fun game.

I love how you can just jump on their heads and stand on there without getting shot. :D
The comments are sometimes a bit too silly for my taste, but you've managed to get some good gameplay in spite of the not very seriously interpreted theme.

peterfsat 2015-04-22 22:32

Liked the encouragement! Also the gameplay feels solid for a rage game! Didn't manage to get past the first level.

Hi,
To start with, I thought the voices were hilarious at first, but they got a little old after a while. But considering that most people only play these games for like 5 minutes, I think it was a good decision to add. Getting stuck on walls, kinda got annoying after a while, and the game had some work to be done in both the art and (surprisingly, considering you were using Unity) the physics (You need to harness the powers of Newton and make people fall faster!). If you could make it a bit more responsive and easier to predict where you will go once you jump, I think that will take care of the difficulty. Good job, and hope to see you next LD!

Idea of absorbing your weapon is good. But I went in place, where two of enemies shoot bananas under cover and I can not overjump or deal damage with apple shower.

iamacoconut 2015-04-23 01:32

@stoarch there is a hint in the 3rd screenshot. You have to climb up the boxes. Thanks!

terryg 2015-04-23 02:25

fun game. I had a great time trying to get past level 2. The graphics and game play are a lot of fun...the voice work is VERY funny. I liked the taunts. Great job.

red_fan-games 2015-04-23 22:48

Pretty good, it really fit the theme, a great concept.(I too considered using a banana gun but i ended up with a banana/boomerang). But "the voice" scared the s#!^ out of me :) 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10 -IGN

Finally found a game with death messages as annoying as mine :)

bossmojoman 2015-04-27 01:19

Checkpoint..... Loved the voice overs. Good humor, held to theme in a great way. Awesome job.

kinosawada 2015-04-28 03:33

Very good, I thought the sounds and the game were very funny !

defacid 2015-04-28 03:42

Good effort! At first I was disappointed that the banana gun felt pretty generic, but then I beat the level and kept playing! Definitely not bad at all, but there are some points I wanted to touch on:
- You don't remove apples/bullets that go out of view/off of the level. I noticed that when I left your game up in a tab and came back to it randomly lagging.
- Hit cooldown is super necessary since it's not fun that 3 apples hit you at the same time.
- Maybe make the first level shorter so that people can see that you're only using the gun for a short while as a joke.

iamacoconut 2015-04-28 04:23

@defacid, thanks for your feedback! I never understood why my game kept lagging before! Yeah, I tried to make it so if one of the three apples in the bunch hit you, the rest wouldn't impact, but I was kind of stressed for time. Anyway, thanks! Your points are really awesome! :)

gafblizzard 2015-04-28 05:17

This was one of the funniest games I've played this Ludum Dare, though maybe it was because I played it late at night. :P I could see how the voiceover could be annoying, but it entertained me.

The collisions and deaths could be frustrating but I'm guessing that was the point. I managed to beat all 3 levels.

gOOD GAME WITH REALLY FUNNY VOICE ACTING.

yOU SHOULD FIX THE lINUX LINK, IT CONTAINS AN .EXE

OOps, seems like your game made me press Caps Lock at some point :)

iamacoconut 2015-05-05 03:08

@eembbeerr sorry, I had no idea linux didn't run .exes. It should work no, I think... I don't have a Linux so I can't test it.

k0j0 2015-05-11 01:59

Good and silly stuff! I like the apples weapon and found the audio really funny

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2015-05-11 23:55

this was really fun! i couldn't beat the last level, since you have no way to kill them you have to bullet dodge, which is tough. the voice was hilarious!!
