Ninja Squares Review

Great game! I loved the ability to customise characters by changing the color. The leveling up with the Zen mode was a great idea because know i can deck my character out! The leveling mode is great because whenever you complete a level or win a fight you get exp points. I really liked the game modes and you could tell that there was a definite level of hardness from simple fights to Sensei fights. I liked the Multi Battle mode and i loved the 'Whos more Ninja' mode. It was very challenging at some points. The background is more organised and less sloppy and the menu is much more together. All in all, I loved it!

Pros: Great theme (ninjas are cool), different modes, leveling up, multiplayer aspect, modes are challenging, would make a great iPhone/Android mobile game, catchy music

Cons: as of now I'm pretty much loving everything!
Fun little game
This game has been revised! I'm loving the changes, you can change the characters color which I like! The background is more uniform and not sloppy. Also the menu is more organized and I especially love that you have levels now! You can see this on the main menu, after you play it will say what level you are, how much experience you have, and what experience you need to level! This for me makes a challenge to see how many levels I can go up! I love that! There is also a custom zen mode you have body. mind, and soul skills you can level up! There are also perks to leveling up!! The best part of the zen mode is that your opponents can also level up as well! Making for a real challenge! Keep up the good work and I will keep revising as I come across anything I feel is relevant to post on here!

Will anyone comment?

Sorry to say but this game needs a lot of work. The movement is sluggish and non-ninja like, and the combat consist of mashing space as fast as you can.
To fix the combat you need to get it more depth. Add extra animations or visual cues that the enemies is about to attack, and then you can block/counter it.
The platforming is really difficult and unrewarding, you can get stuck on the side of the blocks and the falling blocks have unpredictable effects (appears to throw you in a random direction).
It's a nice idea with all the different game modes. But it needs a lot more work before it can really be considered a finished game.

[The Legend]

Hrmmm, I'll take that into consideration but if all that were true why did someone review it five stars?

[The Legend]

Just so you guys know (sorry for double posting) I'm working on an update that contains a level and perk system to make more in depth combat and making the game more strategic.

Rating: 3/5

Positives:
- The enemy ninja AI was actually quite intelligent. it knew when to attack and when not too.
- The menu had a lot of game modes, and so kept me busy for quite some time.
- The 'custom ninja' option was certainly promising.
- The 'spinning attack' was fun.
Negatives:
- The player could get stuck on the sides of wall, and the player can move to fast. he needs a speed limit. Acceleration is too slow.
- Acceleration is too slow, and items are needed - power ups, varied enemies, and maybe different weapons - crossbows, swords, hammers, clubs, and even jet packs.
- The multiplayer modes were quite boring, and some of the views were screwed up, with the window size changing a weird intervals.
- The menu was slightly unclear at times, and the graphics in general were... too simple.

Conclusion:
This game has a lot of potential, but needs serious work to get it too a good standard. If you wish, I shall make you some pixel art for the characters and the scenery.

Well done

Thanks, umm the views for mplay are fine. There is a mini map to help the players anticipate the oncoming blocks. Also, Ninjas rarely use weapons (especially jetpacks 0_o) The player doesn't get "stuck on a wall", he grabs onto it for another jump. Sort of like wall jumping. Also, not sure if the menu could be any clearer...

I played it, but the player 1 view was 2x the zoom of player two, and the centre of the view was focussed on a point nowhere near the player himself. This game is good, but that mode, for me, let it down.

[The Legend]

Ok. I respect your opinion and appreciate the feedback.

[The Legend]

On second thought, I'm going to work on a different aspect of the game and then I'll ask you to help get the game online. I have some bugs to fix and things to add before I can really think about online play.

[The Legend]

COMING SOON TO NINJA SQUARES: New attacks, customizations, enemies and a whole new story to play through! Release Date is yet to be determined!

[Zesterer]

Sounds good... I'll look forward to it.

[The Legend]

I'm glad. I've already scapped the old perk system and started the new attack unlockables system to take its place. Expect medals like in halo and mutated ninjas as enemies.

[The Legend]

BUMP

[Zesterer]

You should make this online. Try using 39dll!
