Pretty fun, but I could only play it for a few minutes because my speakers don't like the bullet sound.

Funny, some cool ideas baked there.
Good job.

Solid job, and quite a nice take on the theme! I did however give up on the ninja stuff and rampaged my way through. :p

Storyline was so funny :)

Shifty ;;)

I loved having the enemies run toward me while I was disguised and then immediately killing them. Great job!

Sort of fun, though it seemed that only the arcade did anything. Also a bit of a problem that enemies can see you, before they are on screen

Cool idea! The shape shifting would be a lot more useful if the enemies had a limited sight, so you could get in a better position for the surprise attack ;) So I mostly played like a warrior just fighting through :)

I had some serious performance issues and the game was super slow and the controls laggy. Apart from that it seems well made, except maybe for the fact that at least in the first level I've never had to shapeshift to kill everyone

I like the enemy AI being confused or walking over me when they see me. Nice work. Maybe make the player move faster :D Good job in that short time

I pretty much only used the card table. Was fun for a bit though. Having the "F" key switch to and from fullscreen was pretty annoying though. I kept hitting it when trying to hit "C".

Thanks to everybody that's rated the game or left a comment so far!

Kifuga - they do have limited sight, but unfortunately it's slightly greater than half the screen width, so you wouldn't know! Design flaw on my part!

sbeif - Sorry to hear that - I've no idea what's causing it as it's not a CPU/memory intensive game at all.

doombrowski - each 'form' does serve a purpose - I've added a bit more of an explanation to the game description above.

I loved the graphics and the main menu. However, the game runs pretty slow and levels are too big.

kgs0142 2016-04-19 15:11

it's pretty challenging to me, and this is good lol.

I like the smoothly controlling of how the protagonist running and killing enemies.

Good job :D

allstar602 2016-04-19 19:04

Awesome job. I liked the character's back story.

Neat game. I just wish that either the levels were a bit more compact or the camera a bit more zoomed-out, because it was a bit hard to get a good overview of the enmies in a room.

jhell 2016-04-19 19:29

Nice atmosphere, cool flavor. Was a bit hard to test on my Azerty keyboard though.

apalade 2016-04-20 23:21

Reminded me of Miami Hotline but funnier. Nice controls and funky overall. Great work.

thecain 2016-04-21 04:33

it's ok

nuberugames 2016-04-26 14:24

It was funny to play. Interesting approach

smilingcat 2016-04-26 20:04

lol, pretty funny shapeshift forms for a ninja. Very interesting. Great job!

terryg 2016-04-28 22:30

A nice stealth game. Fits the theme well.

nihilaleph 2016-05-01 15:15

Nice concept and graphics! I found a bit hard to control though, since there are so many buttons to press ^^;
Sometimes I couldn't reflect the laser back to the sentry, don't know why, only some angles had that effect... Also I think the only transformations I used were Arcade and mirror, besides that I would just run around swinging my sword xp Oh and the light cone of the cameras didn't seem to represent their cone of view, sometimes I would get killed still outside the cone...

Anyways great work!

Hey man, that was fun! But I think controls would be more... responsive. It was very hard for me to play it on laptop :) Still great job!
