Nice job
As others have mentioned, not being able to turn limits your engagement options in an unpleasant way. In addition, I wish that enemies would flinch or react somehow to being hit; sometimes, it's hard to tell if you've made contact with an enemy.
I love that you can deflect bullets with your shuriken, it's a nice touch and makes you feel like a ninja :D
At first I wasn't sure about the enemies on yellow platforms that I couldn't hit, but then I ended up really liking their inclusion, it added a fun challenge.
One small frustration I had a couple of times was when some of the ninjas on the next platform would notice me early and come right to the edge of the platform. Since you can only face forward I had no way to deal with them except passing them.
I really enjoyed this - it was lots of fun and very satisfying!
Regardless, we're glad you enjoyed the game still and thanks for the informative feedback zoarfy!
But this is a pretty good entry! Congrats!
