Incredibly polished and impressive, it really surprised me how much care was put not only into the design of the character's skillset but also the levels themselves.\r\rMy only complaint is that it doesn't really fit the 'theme'. It doesn't really feel monstrous and the writing is overwrought and forced. Other than that though, easily one of the best games I've played here."},{"author_name":"AwesomeAlliterationAlliance","author_uid":"46957","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:50am","epoch":1440470700,"text":"great game, nice learning curve.\rlove these grapplehook mechanics. :)"},{"author_name":"DrPrettyPatty","author_uid":"30068","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:53am","epoch":1440470880,"text":"So good! Super fun, the right amount of difficult, fluid controls, interesting yet simple concept. I'd play a full game of this. Two quarrels though: maybe it's just my mouse, but right clicking was often over-touchy and I would rapidly switch between the two characters. Also, when you die and respawn you always start as the white skinned character, even if you died as the ninja dude. But seriously so good.\r\rC"},{"author_name":"disperse","author_uid":"15669","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:53am","epoch":1440470880,"text":"I love the story, and the frequent checkpoints, the mechanics are great as well."},{"author_name":"Croze","author_uid":"24715","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:57am","epoch":1440471120,"text":"This game is absolutely beautiful, and the gameplay is incredible! I can't even begin to imagine how 2 people accomplished all of this in 72 hours.

This looks like a game that would have taken me weeks or months to make, not 72 hours. I know there were two creators, but that is still impressive!\r\rThe gameplay is fun and unique from what I've seen so far in the Jam. The shadow form reminds me a bit of Mark of the Ninja. I do have one complaint: during the tower climb, there is an area with walljumping that is pretty difficult. That is fine, but the same black screen text appears every time I spawn. Makes it frustrating. A player wants to get right back to playing the game after dying, not waiting around for the same part of the story to repeat itself.\r\rThat aside, you guys have a quality product here."},{"author_name":"MagnesiumNinja","author_uid":"3595","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:09am","epoch":1440471840,"text":"Hi Kalthose, thanks for the comment!

Really, really good game. I mean, I can find lots of things to nitpick but only because I find myself evaluating it as if it were a real, full fledged game and not something made in 72 hours. Definitely in a category above most of the other entries.\r\rReally loved the gamefeel and the ninja-like quality of the shadow form. Controls could be made a little more polished though, if you keep working on it. It wasn't always 100% intuitive feeling, but again, that's just nitpicking.\r\rSome of the graphics are a bit bland, but other parts are insanely well done.

The mechanic is very interesting, and enough changes were made to the level design to give an interesting difficulty curve. The graphics were fitting and well made, and the audio was suitably subtle. Some of the challenges were a little tough, but I appreciate the forced learning in some aspects. There could have been a better explanation that leaping in shadow form doesn't have to hit a wall, because about 20 of my deaths were trying to get over that one sweeping spotlight on an outside wall."}],"images":["ld33\/3595-42300546439ff33dadfd8985bf9baebe.jpg","ld33\/3595-06f0a3bbb82bbac77705fdd2fe4837c6.jpg","ld33\/3595-ad5c0a032e3448721f38dea1b328366c.jpg","ld33\/3595-66313d4cb06f88437a10d3cba574021f.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/magnesiumninja.itch.io\/blood-moon","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9013","g_author":"3595","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"9046","g_title":"Blood Moon","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"18","g_commentcount":"42","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/3595-shot0-1440470140.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/3595-shot1-1440465273.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/3595-shot2-1440465273.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/3595-shot3-1440465273.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Blood Moon is an action-stealth platformer about a monster forced out of its home during a night-time hunt. \r\n\r\nAs you make your way through the city, you will learn more about the situation you've found yourself in, and what your future holds.\r\n\r\n\r\nThis game was made entirely in 72 hours by two people.
