Reviews for "NINJA Brawl"

Haha! Okay :)
Thanks!
Quite the thing!
I'm a huge fan of brawlers like these. And this was one of those games that got just about everything right. Not too complicated and not too much to think about.
It was neat that you could unlock all the different characters throughout the game, but I didn't really find the need in playing them. Most of them were almost exactly alike anyway so they were merely face changes. What you could've done instead was make a 'character designer' unlockable once you completed the game. That would be cool to customize your own character.
The upgrades were nice and extremely helpful if you knew what you were doing. But I found the speed upgrade a little redundant simply because none of the enemies moved any much faster and hence I didn't find the need to. Sure they also upgraded shuriken damage, but I didn't use that many of them. Here's a long shot idea you might consider, make a second class or a few others like and just name them 'shogun', 'yakuza' or something and have the different stats allow for different builds. That would be really cool.
One of the other things I found annoying was the enemy bombing. There should be a time frame between each bomb they throw because I once found myself in a situation where I had 2 guys bombing to hell and I couldn't even get up properly. Their timing was just perfect and I couldn't move at all till I died. Might want to look into that. An unpreventable death is never a good one.
Neat game overall. I'd love to see more.

Thanks for the great review, thanks!
Yeah, this game's not perfect and I'm still learning, so thanks for the constructive criticism!
Glad you like it :)
Nice, but a few bad spots
While a fun brawler when fighting the mooks but a little simple.
Your areial a, with a decent speed and a running start, could keep a foe stun locked forever. This wasn't so bad as it required heavy speed investment to work and feels more like an overpowered reward then simply broken. Your aerial S could knock down every non-boss, after which you could stab them before they got up for an insta kill. This is bad as any character can do it cheep and easy.
The bosses were not that fun. Everyone had perfect superarmor, preventing you from doing any of the combos the rest of the game uses. This is bad.
The ninjas with the bombs were almost impossible to dodge, and the only real sulution was to run away untill they stoped using bombs.
The final boss was just stupid because it compounded both issues. The only way I managed to win was repeatedly using backflips to change what side I am on. When a boss in a brawler requires one spefifc move to damage it really hurts the brawler bit.
I also said this on Armor Games.
you should make a sequel where you can unlock attacks for other people you can play as(such as the Oni's fire ball attack)
Awesome game...
Just one thing:
I can't figure out how you pass the forest, I always run out of health so fast even though I upgraded my armor and all that. I guess I could use more potions, but then it's so hard later, without any.
Otherwise, great game. 8/10 and 4/5.
