It's a good one for a basics-learning game project. My complaints are:
1. The in-game controls description are only for controller.
2. The game loses mouse focus easily and does not pause for that, this makes you lose a hit sometimes.
3. Scrolling issue that was already mentioned
I guess those are technical things, but they make the gameplay a bit uncomfortable. Hope you'll fix them in episode 2 and yes, I'd like to see it

The premise is simple, get to the next screen as quickly as possible. Killing enemies will give you a time bonus, allowing them to escape gives you a time penalty. Don't take too long or the x-phantom will pay you a visit!
X-Ninja is a project I started with my 7-year-old son, Alex, to teach him the basics of programming and game design. The title and premise were his ideas, and we worked together on building levels and finding fun ways to make the game challenging; he was brimming with ideas! It's been a really fun little project to work on, and I think the game turned out much better than either of us expected.
If people enjoy the game and there's demand, we'll start working on Episode 2.
Keyboard controls

A Gamepad is highly recommended, but the game can be played on keyboard
Move = Arrow keys/WASD
Attack = X or Left click
Ninja Mode = C or Right Click

Thank you so much for your feedback!
I have updated the game to add keyboard controls to the tutorial, I have added support for arrow keys + ZXC, so the mouse thing is less of an issue, and fixed the annoying scroll thing.
I hope this makes the game more enjoyable for you :)
Thanks again for the feedback, very much appreciated!
not a bad game but the scrollbar moves when you move I hate when games do that
and my computer found Facebook tracking on here

Thank you for playing out little game, and even more thanks for the feedback!
I have updated the game and fixed the scroll issue. Also, it think the facebook thing must be because I left the instant game module in the project, I have removed it now, so hopefully that's fixed the facebook tracking thing too.
Thanks again :)
