Fantastic job on the sprites, the game looks great and the music feels just right the only down side is I found it hard to play with the arrow keys and the the jump and attack being on S and A but great job on adding a setting to change the controls. Also the difficulty level is just right.
Reviews for "Ninja Virus"
I wish I could honestly give this more than 4 stars but the control system is a bit clunky. It feels like when you're trying to wall climb you're in a life and death struggle with the 'control pad' where normally you would try and smash the damn thing against the wall... but unfortunately it's a keyboard and probably won't go far...
The music is good, 8 bit era indeed but very very annoying when you're failing the same obstacle again and again (as I did on 1-3)
Very good homage to 8 bit games but just goes to remind you of how you might look at those old games with rose-tinted glasses.
muy buen juego
Why are so many people here so pussy-whipped? flamewolf393, "experienced" gamer? You are a person who is CLEARLY not used to how difficult games really were before your goddamn Calls of Duties and Battlefields.
This game brings back the traditional flavor of retro games quite well. It has a slice of Castlevania with a very similar style to Ninja Gaiden, and in fact feels a lot like Ninja Gaiden. For you people who found it hard, I actually found it a bit easier than the titles I just mentioned.
Anyways, the story. Forget the story. Gameplay is smooth, music has that old-school feel and it works very well with this as expected. It doesn't bring anything new to gaming, afterall it is an inspired piece based off of old games. My only real gripe is the fact that when you gain a new weapon, there is no option to change to your regular sword, or even a secondary weapon. Of course, to balance this, an ammunition system may have been required, but I guess it's fine since new weapons gained have unlimited uses. Although that does not justify the inability to use your standard sword. Furthermore powerups are forced upon you, so you can't switch to old ones, etc. If you're not careful you can end up getting a weapon that is not at all useful for the current situation.
On the other, really good work, keeping it real simple. The password system is a nice throwback to how older games didn't have save files, and it's debatable whether or not it should be kept in a future installment or other games you may create.
Difficulty is not an issue. Again I repeat, I found this easier than a lot of other retro games.
sweet game with NES style graphics!
