Drunk Ninja Vs Alien by Maurogik
In this game, you (a crazy drunk ninja) must fight against alien stickmen for the sake of all mankind ! (that's it, and yes, this is the whole story...).
Windows/Mac/linux versions : You have to download both the executable file and the adjacent folder.
How to play :
TLDR : Put your red fists in their yellow faces. Avoid their red parts.
PRO TIP : You can try to "whirl" by going up, left, down right in a circle so that your arms swing around you and punch aliens in their ugly faces. (like that : http://bit.ly/1w8lcnb );
Your character is completely crazy and/or drunk, so you cannot actually decide what he is doing, you can only direct him to where you want him to go. And, as if an out of control ninja wasn't enough to begin with, you are also being attacked by aliens ! You must try to land a punch while avoiding their red tentacles. Pro tip, "aim" for the head.

I got the pleasure of killing aliens =)
(Now I have to hand the game over to my son who is begging me to play it)
But man this is FUN.
By the way, I just added some pro tip in the description about my special secret move you can do in the game. Try to make the circle with the arrow keys (slowly and keep the rythm), you will start whirling and swinging your arms around. It take a bit of training but once you master it... you'll be unstopable !
Feels like something someone could get really good at with practice!
One suggestion I could make would be to consider making it more clear when you're getting hits in on enemies and when they hit you. Death can be a bit surprising at times. A think a good fix for this would be to have the blood of aliens being different to the ninja's blood.
Otherwise, really enjoyed this - nice work!
Also the text are just blocks for me, and this, I don't know if it's intentional: http://i.imgur.com/DaGLnF4.png
5 Innovation for me ~
The bullet time effect on hit is awesome and give a great depth to the gameplay.
It only lack of more precision, and even variation, but that's one of the rare beatthemall in this LD.
