I enjoyed playing the game. I did not make it to the end though. I like how fast the little ninja is.

plot is quite confusing, we want to slay the king but also killing the villagers :D but game is good, nice work :)

I really liked the whole concept, very good and fun. I just think the animations could be a bit better, anyway. A great game, Good work!

Very enjoyable game, although it was difficult not to run out of life!

Made well, however, there is clearly not enough sounds in the game, it was more alive. Great job!

Graphics are very well made! I'm having trouble with gameplay though, I don't get how you get past the wall that protects the King. I did kill all the guards, but I couldn't reach the King.

The second time I started it, it bugged and the King was just after the villagers (so I won). The game needs some polishing IMHO, it would be nice if you released just one more version!

Very good entry. Good job!

Your pixel art looks promising but I noticed a lot of doubles.
Following the tips in this video would greatly improve the look of your art :

Also, the blur effect doesn't work very well with pixel art, but that's just my opinion :wink:

@evanaellio Thanks for the feedback! I've never done pixel art before and this was my first attempt at it. This video was pretty informative, and it will help me do better with my future projects. Thanks again!
