I'm pretty confident that this will turn out to be one of the most unconventional weapons I experience today. :D
The zoom effect while doing tricks is very cool, I struggled to land where I wanted to between the zoom, timescale, and fast gravity & enemy speeds though. If any one of those factors were adjusted down I think it would handle better.
Well done!

Took me a while to figure out the movement, but it's a pretty fun game that could easily be expanded upon.

Loved this, very funny and fun to play! The slow-mo tricks were very entertaining :)!
Solid game. Mechanics seem to work well, and it's undeniably an unconventional weapon. ;)
Love it. Fits the theme perfectly. I also loved the slow motion animations when doing tricks.

It's actually quite fun. Very nice unconventional weapon and the added tricks in the air was quite cool!

took a bit, but then i was RADICAL! nice entry!
This is great! Nice controls and trying to keep hitting all the spiders works good! I would've preferred to skip the trick part and focus on building the combo meter by continually hitting spiders.

Pretty cool, nice effects. Wish the ninja would jump just a little higher though. Nice work.
I love this. Especially the "SICK", and "WICKED" quotes when doing tricks, haha.
Funny idea. It got kinda boring after a while though, because of the limited options you have. I would have liked some more variety. Overall okay game!

This is fantastic! Fits the theme perfectly, and had me laughing out loud the first 'sick' move I did.
That was really awesome, I'm really impressed that you were able to do this for the compo.
The jump sound effect was a little annoying and loud.
Besides that, awesome job! I cracked up when I saw the first "SICK" popup, and the slow motion was pretty fun. I even found out you could aerial slash during the slow motion, which helped a lot. I ended up getting the ultimate victory. :D
You could probably make this sort of thing into a more complete game if you wanted. I was a bit reminded of Guacamelee -- I loved the forgiving combo system in that.
@GAFBlizzard I am so happy to see someone who reached the "Ultimate Victory"! I had no time to playtest the scores and create a proper tutorial so a lot of people don't make it that far.

Great game! Very polished, very complete, neat graphics and sounds. The mood and arcade feel are real. The theme implementation is just perfect. Maybe a few more enemies, and it will be even more fun!
Probably one of the best games so far!

Nice and interesting concept! :3
Doing tricks, attacking and pogoing is a little bit tricky, but challenging! Gotta love this pogo-katana thing! :3
Graphic style is pretty nice and well done, the game felt like some kind of puppet theater.
The jump sound starts to hurt my ears after a while, though. :P But I think it's just the volume of my phones! :3
Nice Entry!

This is like the platforming in the old NES Ducktales games but on steroids. Extremely fun mechanics and definitely worth replaying over and over.
