made by JesusAcHe for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

Meet Mugen, the lightest Ninja. He has trained for years to develop his technique of the void, allowing him to create a sphere of emptiness, that can then quickly collapse attracting nearby objects to its center.

Using this ability Mugen must now inflitrate the base of the evil Red Orb clan, and recover what's his.

I really dug the concept of the mechanic. I kept on wishing I could control the orientation with my mouse because having to use the keys to manipulate where I want it to be in quick moments doesn't feel super intuitive.

Regardless of the inputs, in terms of how you guys utilize this mechanic through the level design is quite nice!

The horizontal jump sections that have us bumping our heads against the side of a wall... feels way too annoying. If you insist on having these types of designs in your level, I would highly suggest in having a moment to jump when you walk off a platform.

But in the end, I dug the game and the concept my dude! Keep on making beautiful games

Nice idea, it's not easy to understand how to use the core mechanic, but once you get the hang of it it's really cool

Death animation is so awesome I said it on stream and I'll repeat myself here. If you played this game and haven't payed attention and you don't know what I'm talking about, go and play it again. And make sure to die and watch closely. It's so fun ;)

Pretty cool. I'd be interested in seeing more gimmicks and powers using physics or other stuff.

Solid work here.
