This is pretty cool. Its a little hard to control though.

At first a bit frustrating to figure out the controls, but eventually I figured it out and it could be a lot of fun multiplayer! Reminds me of a simplified Toribash.

Amazing, would be better to control on touch devices though

I love the concept, the artwork is great and appealing. the music and sound is pleasant. but the core game it's It's to hard to master with a mouse. the AI is frustratingly too good. maybe putting a practice dummy at the first fight?

For 48h this is REALLY impressive. Reminds me of Rag Doll Kung Fu, just a bit more accessible. Music gets the blood pumping too!

Interesting game. Controls were novel, and I never quite figured out how to move. Nice idea and music.

Hi there. Like the animations and graphics, nice sounds too. The ragdolls were hard to move around feeling in control.

Hah cool concept. I think different buttons for each limb may work best

This was really fun! It took a while to learn how to play, but it was a fun trial and error process :)

well done!

Really fun, always like physics based games. I mostly tried to make my guy kick the enemy while moving, instead of actually attacking. Well done. :)

This is ... f*ing ... HILARIOUS!!!! I want a multiplayer version :D I think the entertainment value in this game is just the impossible body positions experienced in the game :D

Hilarious, fun, and addictive. What more could you want? Well, I guess I would like to win more. BUT NEVERTHELESS! Fantastic job!

I totally love this. Absolutely.

It is supreme fun to just toss the ragdolls around via random line-drawing. The fact that you got the ragdoll physics this well implemented during a weekend is impressive. :D

The art was great, the sound was great, the humor was off the charts, and I just enjoyed it immensely overall! :)

Great work for compo! The slow motion was well implemented, even though it was QWOP-style complicated to get a ninja to actually be successful with moves.

Very impressive and very hard! The computer kills me every time before I can get a move in, but I can't vote you down for my own lack of skill ;). As Jed T said, a practice mode would be good.

Great fun, slightly awkward to control but a good laugh. It feels as tough it would be more fun 2 player but then no slow-motion.

QWOP Ninja is best game of Ludum Dare.
Seriously, A+ humor. Loads of fun.

Woah this was pretty hard to control - but that was also part of the charm! It felt like QWOP ninja haha.

The slow-motion made for some hilarious action moves. Great job with this!

This was pretty fun but there's not much meat to it yet with just single player. It needed some crazier physics perhaps. There were moments where the ragdolls were crazy for sure but there velocity never really got very high they just kinda draped over each other. Multiplayer is going to be a major part of this game should you continue it.

Excellent game! But quite easy.
Make improvements to the opponent, maybe add a limit to the slow motion, throw in a campaign mode and your'e good to go!
Would love to see a variety of opponents, and character customization.

A very nive mix of one finger death punch of toribash. I see we have the same tastes in games :D

The control could use some work, I didn't feel I was really in control of what was happening, but it was still fun to play so... good job!

I must admit I would be VERY surprised if you produced those sounds yourself during the 48h compo. It is much more likely that you took them from a site like freesounds.net (which is not allowed). So, just because I can't be 100% sure, I won't rate the audio category.
PapyPilgrim
14. Dec 2014 · 21:17 UTC
And I take it back. Audio is now rated like any other category :)

Controls seems a little random but that is very interesting. Graphics and music are awesome !

I tried to press H at the title screen and nothing happened. Then I tried to play the game but I didn't understand the controls. Is there any way to go back to help screen once you are in the game?

Red ninja dry humped me in the corner and there was nothing I could do but watch. Fun and funny.

The controls are almost totally random, but the mood is here. And I won. :D

Loads of fun this. Once I'd messed around and found the right click, and most importantly space bar slow down! Would be good to show these briefly at the start (I know there is a Help function on the menu, but like many out there we all just dive in). Had a lot of fun making my shinobi immitate various streetfighter and mk moves :D.

Really look forward to what you do next with this. Naturally there are so many options. Aside from 1on1 combat I think a side scrolling beat em up like Shank would be fun! Great Job
