Nice game. I think i discovered a tactic to save more dumplings. Just leave the create near a structure and the black ninjas will have to come around it so you get more time to fight. Nice animations and looks overall. For me the lighting was quite a pain since you could see the shadows appearing and dissapearing. Have you thought about increasing the shadow rendering distance?

I loved playing this game! It's so simple yet so fun, it was really hard balancing through dropping the dumplings, fighting the ninjas, and avoiding the ninja stars. It all combines into very enjoyable and challenging parts! There is nowhere that this game is lacking. I loved the little animations of the ninjas running and the ninja in the start screen!

Simple, but it does function! Ninjas stole my dumplings, very rude indeed. Those dumplings were not for ninjas.

At some point the green ninja's attacks just become an annoyance. I do like their snickering though.

Fun little run and beat em up game! I like

It is a nice and fun little game! Loved the environment art, and, although the main character is beautiful, it differs greatly from the scenario and enemies style, which makes the overall combination a little odd. Gameplay wise, it is a nice balance and design. Only thing that bothers me is that sometimes the black ninjas take a dumpling with out touching the box, from considerably far away, which was a bit frustrating.

Fun to play, loved the dash particularly!

Damn ninjas are stealing my dumplings!

Kind of a small game with simple gameplay. Very nice scene at the end.

@skaaaza Thank you for playing our game. We will be sure to check out the shadow rendering distance.

od-wreckz 2023-05-07 17:02

od-wreckz 2023-05-07 17:03

@asmadigames I hope you didn't let the ninjas steal all your dumplings.

od-wreckz 2023-05-07 17:03

@soulreviews Thanks for your feedback we will be sure to update it after the jam.

@triangle-point Thanks for enjoying our game!

od-wreckz 2023-05-07 17:06

@cabritta Thank you for complimenting our games art. Sorry that the ninjas were able to steal dumplings from afar I hope you got them all back!

od-wreckz 2023-05-07 17:06

@nonimad Glad you enjoyed the dash.

od-wreckz 2023-05-07 17:07

@lexuor Thanks for helping Jia deliver the dumplings.

Super fun ! These dumplings must be amazing to have all these ninjas on me !!

od-wreckz 2023-05-07 17:10

@wrong-timeline Thanks for delivering the dumplings!

Pretty cute. The controls are a little clunky, especially the collisions, and the animations could telegraph a little better on the attack and dash, but it's pretty polished. The victory screen was delightful. Great music and the audio cues really helped.

jackboz 2023-05-08 11:11

@thesmellofoxygen Thanks for your feedback we will think how to fix it in the following updates.

xparker 2023-05-08 18:26

Really enjoyed the nice ambience (music - theme matchup). Easy to play, semi-hard to master.

mrtroy 2023-05-09 04:48

I tried to be slick and put the dumplings down and fight them... that made it easier to run around me and grab them. :sob:

This was a fun little entry!

jackboz 2023-05-09 14:24

@xparker Thank you. Have you saved all the dumplings at the 3rd level? :sweat_smile:

jackboz 2023-05-09 14:25

Thank @mrtroy for helping Jia deliver the dumplings!

marcodeevil 2023-05-09 21:47

All dumplings saved 8). Very nice game, could be more challanging. I liked chinese atmospehere in game (music and graphics). Congrats to you, solid entry!

milq 2023-05-09 22:40

A very nice game! At first I thought I was not going to vote for the graphics and for the music because it looked like it was downloaded by third parties. But what's up! It's yours! I find these two sections incredible. Very good game and quite round. Perhaps I would shorten some areas a bit because walking all the time becomes a bit heavy. But come on, aside from that, I can only congratulate you on such a fantastic game!

jackboz 2023-05-10 02:08

@marcodeevil thank you for your feedback! We hadn't time to implement star rating but try to save all the dumplings at least at the final level)

honey-pony 2023-05-15 06:43

Nice game! The graphics are pretty fantastic as others have said, especially the environmental graphics.

It took me a while to figure out what exactly I needed to do to win. At first it seemed like the main goal was to simply avoid the ninjas as much as possible, which seemed difficult to do and made the attack and dash feel pointless. In particular, at one point I lost because I had left the dumplings on the ground to try to fight the ninjas, and so I thought that leaving them on the ground was just generally a bad strategy.

Later I managed to figure out that the ninjas were actually stealing the dumplings directly from the package, whether it was on the ground or I was carrying it. This made the game make a lot more sense, as now I knew I had to either avoid the ninjas entirely or fight them off before they got to me or shortly after they stole a dumpling. This made the game a lot more fun, as now I actually understood what was going on, and it meant I could actually productively use the dash mechanic, which is a fun mechanic to use.

Overall, fun game!

jackboz 2023-05-15 15:22

@honey-pony Thank you for your feedback and time you spent to figure out the elements of the core mechanic!
