A couple things tho:
The music was uncannily similar to Hotline Miami, and im not sure if it matches the theme of the game.
Sometimes dead bodies would fall on top of me and i would get stuck, and be unable to jump, but luckily i could push bodies out of the way (Im not sure i would consider this a con).
But overall i thought this game was pretty entertaining, some great ideas here!!
8/10 would make heaps of dead bodies again
I Like this game.
Just an bug, when hit 100 deaths, the score just dissapear (only appear 10)
But all in all a quite enjoyable game.
The only real issue I had with the game is that sometimes when standing on enemies the jumping didn't always work.
Otherwise, congratulations on your first successful Ludum Dare. Hopefully there will be more work from you in the future.
I like that you animated the backgrounds.
Did get stuck in a pocket of bodies, so I had to restart, but managed to keep a neater pile the next time and was able to escape.
My one complaint is that jumping seemed a bit hit or miss. I'd hit the jump key and not move at least half the time. Even with that happening, it was a great game!
It kind of crashed on about 310 kills and the bodies filled the screen.
I like the way the bodies "flow" but I think collisions could use a little tweaking.
2 questions: How to lose in this game? Is that lava or blood lake :-D?
PS. I don't know why, but when I looked at a screenshot I thought is a little dragon/dinosaur... that would be even better :D
36 ninjas to get out in 54 seconds! I had fun and the music was great :).
