When I first started my first game the announcer said "You've been sentences to death by De Ninja." my 1st thought was "I hate when that happens."
its a simple game but it is well implemented. The Game play is solid and I like the fact that you can reflect projectiles. You get bonus points for not just flipping the sprites left to right. There is a unique stance and animation for you when you turn left to right. I know its a small detail, but its there.
The minimalist soundtrack and the plentiful bloody pixels were in keeping with the low budget martial arts movie feel you had going, but the announcer seemed out of place. Perhaps it was what seemed to me like a pseudo-British accent, but he dimished it a little. Some of what he said made sense in context. Things like "Brutal" or "what a shiny sword." some of them were slightly silly like "he was about to retire." but some seemed out of place like "did I ever tell you about my friend called Jeff?" that just seemed.... odd.
