I like the overall feel, controls are alright, but the brutal difficulty gets annoying. Yea, yea, yea, I know that's the point to pay homage to old NES games, but I don't think anybody realizes those games were just infuriatingly difficult to make games last longer given limited memory. It gets annoying to have to play the same levels over and over again, this isn't the 80s and we aren't kids anymore, give us a break
Reviews for "Ninja Virus"
True to its roots, this game is nintendo hard. The visuals are extremely convincing. The music is a little over the top, but not too much. What makes me love this game is that it not only reminds of nintendo games, but sega ones as well. The platforming is flat out unforgiving, but that is the best kind of platforming. Over all, 5 stars for how well it fit the roll and how it is just plain awesome.
Feels very authentic. If I hadn't found this on Newgrounds, I would think this was a real NES game. Props to you, son.
Not so many games gave me as much fun as this one. However, the higher the level, the more it relies on learning, instead of using skill. Last boss is nearly impossible if you don't have any weapon, and too hard even if you have one. But if you manage to get to him with dynamite and some health, you practically won.
I have to agree with most reviewers. This is a bit harder than what it should be so it's fun to play. And I'm a fan of hard, don't get me wrong. Balancing difficulty is one of the main problems I've had throughout the years, so I understand. Well done, I really like the graphics and gameplay.
My only complaint gamewise - you should be able to use attack while holding onto a wall.
How do I hit boss4 dammit? Can't find hit spots and I'm usually way low on health to experiment anyway.
Once again, well done.
