"decent"

The controls are okay and the music is great but the game is extremely difficult. It's hard to block the weapons and life doesn't replenish enough to make up for it. It's a good idea so maybe make another like it with some changes.

I didn't have the problem with the controls the last reviewer did, as pushing toward the direction you are jumping while airborne will scroll far enough that you can tell you need a double jump (at least as far as I managed to get). However, the difficulty level of this game is, in a word, obnoxious. I felt like I was playing the NES version of Shinobi. I was getting hit with a barrage of knives from offscreen enemies, blown up when the stupid TNT happened to be sitting on a platform with a knife chucking jerk on the other side, and my favorite flaw: apparently your dinky life meter doesn't restore when you drown to death. Nice.

Its art can look better, plus the way of the game is kinda weird, well normally ninja's dont do day or better yet open fighting. They like to stealth it so if you put in things like shadows and rocks you gotta crouch by the would rock. Also so what I hear you cant swim, get a animation to swim and also let him go under water to escape being spoted and stuff, also when you press S let him keep his sword out and if you can let him run with Shift being held in, hope this helped out on making this game alot better and alot more fun. If you want more depth in my idea's just PM me peace dude.

It's decent in production, but poorly executed. Controls are clunky at best and the jump and sword deflection are both aggravating there had to be a better way. Shallow and unfulfilling. I expect better from such a good flash artist.

"so fuckin' hard!!!!"

There is no real difference between the modes, just the easy gives a bit more life, but even that is way too few. The controlling is awful. Not the keyset, that's ok, but for example if I don't press the up instantly after first pressed, it will not perform a double jump, but how am I supposed to know when I will need duble jump, when I don't see how long a gap is? (And how the fuck can a ninja not swim?) Everithyng is way too fast, so I barely have time to react, and if I know that an enemy is near and throw a shuriken it will not hit him if he is offscreen, but they throw their knives before I could see them. When a guy is on a high platform, I can't kill him without taking damage, but actually, damage is mostly unpreventable even with a normal guy. And there are unfair situations even on lv1: my "favorit" is the lake where on one of the platforms I instalntly get knifedwhen I land and I fall in the water, it's only about the luck there to survive.
I thought this will be a good game, it looks actually good, but now I hate it! I think I'll post this game to the Angry Videogame Nerd, he'll say what I'm not allowed to write here.
