I thought the game was fun for a couple of minutes. After about 10 levels I got bored, mostly because the AI tends to charge you even when you have the shuriken. In addition, its really hard to see the shuriken and who has it. However, I think this would be a really fun multiplayer game but I didn't play that part.

Screen with instructions should last for longer as it took quite a while to work out what we were doing. Other than that I thought it was a pretty good game.

Pretty fun, I'm guessing would be a lot more fun with four players. The AI was irritating as you already know. Oh well. Fun anyway, nice one.

Extra points for this being a multiplayer game. Not enough of those around.

Interesting multiplayer game but a bit repetitive playing alone. But nice job!

Woo! It seems we have both made a multiplayer game for gamepads :D
Very fun once you know what's going on!

The installer is quite annoying, also game should close when I press the x not quit to menu. After understanding how to start the game it was a bit interesting for a while.

Nice enjoyable game. Multiplayer with multiple controllers would be really nice =)
Keep going

Having to use an installer is kind of a pain for someone like me going through and rating a bunch of games. This is okay because I'm probably going to keep this game installed after the compo and play it with my friends. Good job!

@xaedes It supports up to four controllers. Each player can play with one or if you only have three, one player can play keyboard and mouse while the others use controllers.

A lot of fun! Too long installation and launch. Standalone version will be more comfortable. But idea is great! Thank you!
