Pros:
+Nice music, sets the mood quite well
+I like the combination of attacks
+The switching between levels is a nice addition
Cons:
-Very hard to control, consider the possibility to hold the LMB?
-The spikes never go away
-The attacking is also though, feels slowish?
Awesome! Love the music!
I´ve adressed the slow attack issue and made it quicker, but now its a bit more difficult to usw the throw, i will get it balanced eventually :) I also added 2 more enemies. I will release an updated version soon!
Plenty of content, lots of levels. Were they randomly generated?
I didn't see an energy bar, so I'm not sure how that was affecting my play, nor did I know how close to death I was. What I did discover was that the dash was super powerful, so that's essentially the only move I ever did. Only reason I died was because I got sloppy over some spike traps.
The max duration to activate double click felt a little short, but maybe I'm just being lazy. :-) I'm with Chubb, though, about holding down LMB to walk or something.
@Andy Gainey: What is the resolution of your monitor and windows version? I´am afraid its a problem with the surface size on which the bars get drawn :/
Yes, the levels are randomly generated and if you are interested in the bigger and better version of the game visit me on twitter, there will be a new download soon :)
nice concept. the camera is a bit to far away (for me :s), i would love to see and feel more the enemies that im killing and the main character.
keep up the good work
I agree with most of what Chubb1337 said actually. Decent entry though. Mouse axis is cheating though ;)
Cool music
A nice little game. Couple of bugs though: I died on the first level and when I restarted the music was gone. I also got an Out of Memory error as well.
I like the shifting of the camera - I wish there had been a bit more use of that. Also some feedback or display show what you can and can't do at any moment would be really helpful - it's hard to know if you can charge or throw a ninja star.
Finally I think you should have a short pause when entering a new level to show where enemies are because it's a little unfair when you just load in and then get rushed by a whole bunch that haven't spawned just next to you.
I'd like to see the concept taken a little further though.
Cute, a bit easy to beat though. You can just dash through everything. That also saves you from having to use the click movement.
Thx for your feedback, i´ve now added the download link to the updated version. I´ll keep on working on this and flishing it out more.
@Starspell, where did you get the "out of memory" error?
Nice game but the music is unbearable with headphones!
Can't play windows games :-(
I got the out of memory error after maybe five levels? Not much other information I can say.
Very liked the camera work! Good job!
It looks cool and interesting, I just wished you had added alternative buttons, like z and x for LMB and RMB cause I have one of those track-pads that can't push both buttons at the same time
