This game was a fun and short experience with a nice game play and beautiful art. cut scenes which were like a comic book were very funny and pretty. although this game has some issues in animations and game play but they don't harm your experience cause they are not very much and you can ignore them easily.

Português / English Português O jogo é muito bom! Ele é bem rápido e te incentiva o tempo todo a jogar com agilidade. É extremamente divertido jogar as fases buscando a perfeição. A jogabilidade realmente te faz se sentir um ninja, com um personagem frágil, mas muito rápido, com vários movimentos para atacar ou agilizar as seções de plataforma. Ele tem um pequeno toque de plataforma de precisão, mas não dá pra classificá-lo assim porque o foco aqui não é ser frustrantemente difícil, mas sim criar um ambiente que seja prazeroso de navegar e usar seus movimentos. A história é um tanto simples, mas faz um bom papel em conduzir a progressão do jogo. As cutscenes em forma de história em quadrinho são bem legais entretanto. English This game is great! It is a fast paced experince that really makes you feel like a ninja. It is extremely fun to play the levels trying the perfect run. Like a ninja, the main character is pretty fragile, but his vast moveset creates a playground for you to defeat enemies and breeze through the platforming challenges. The game has really light precision platform elements, but the main focus is always to give you liberty to be as cool as you can while playing. The story is a little too simple, but it works well in creating a scenario for the game. In the other hand, the comic book style cutscenes are awesome.

Bought this game way back in 2016, didn't really play it but for a short while. Thereafter it has been sitting in my library for the last 9 years. Started playing it again and realize that it is a really neat ninja game. Controls are tight and game play is quite decent. Now with summer sale and a 85% discount. If you are a fan of ninja games and 2D platformer games. Give it a shot.
