I suppose there was a rock scissor paper system but i couldn't figure it out.

Nice entry anyway ! =)

Very unique, fun and strangely complex game. Hard to master, couldn't get more than 43. Very well done though.

I guess you gotta jump over the tanks and block the bombs and shoot down the planes? got to 34... Fits the theme.

I like the mechanic underneath the game, but it's really hard to play.
I guess the enemies are spawned randomly, because it can get very messy very early on the game. I would suggest that you balance that if you do any post-LD version. :)

I like jump on planes :)

Pretty cute game! The mechanics are good but the learning curve is very harsh - it would benefit a lot from an easy first minute, and I think you could probably cut the enemy speed in half to let the player think a bit more on the shape shifting decisions. Nice entry!

Nice concept!
I like the gameplay and mechanics.
Sometimes a bit difficult for me, but overall good work here!

Nice concept! Though it's a bit hard to figure out how to play it... Still can't kill things decently xp

Anyways great work!

Nice concept and graphics.

neontropics covered it pretty well: decent enough idea, but it all happens so fast it's tough to handle. Even when I figured the game *in theory* I had a lot of trouble *in practice.* The game would be easier if it were easier to jump over tanks after blocking one, which comes down to move speed.

High score: 28. Lowest high score of anyone around here, hah!

Also, I encountered a weird bug where it wasn't possible to jump as a ninja sometimes. Not sure what that was about, but I feel like I could've gotten more than 28 points on that one good run if he'd been jumping...

Screw it, I'll play ONE MORE...

HAH! NEW HIGH SCORE: 50! And NO ninja-jumping bug this time!

The controls were a bit hard to master, but good idea ! Experimented a bug when dying in turret, at restart have the sprite of ninja but hability of turret.
