Finish Him! by dmcfarline

[raw]
made by dmcfarline for LD29 (JAM)
On a Ninja's 18th Birthday, they are judged by the Ninja King

worthy Ninja Kids are wlecomed to the ranks of the Ninja Empire

But those who fail to meet the King's approval...

Are cast into The Pit of Death

Made this in less than 6 hours on the final day, super short

Inspired by Mortal Kombat, takes about 2 minutes to play through, with a twist ending!

Wow! This is more polished than some of the full 48-hour games, mine included. Seriously impressed.

Loved the ending and gratuitous swears, nice graphic style too.

For a six hour entry, this is amazing and I loved it. The loving it unrelated to the six hour part. SURPRISE!

It's funny, polished and great. It's a pity it's that short.

Hi man.

This is PaperBlurt.

I'm ranking this "game" highest in all possible categories.
So freaking funny and nice and the premise is awesome and the dialogue:

"The RAD Ninja Empire"

And the twist at the end and the cake and that the blue ninja *SPOILER* dies.

This was truly amazing.

Throw in a high score list and you're done!

To borrow Blue Ninja's lingo:

You are a f**king genius! This game is brilliant! I really enjoyed playing it.

Haha I enjoyed this. Was surprised and the action was fun. Really liked the lo-fi art (good job there). Well done for 6 hours. Would sneak an update that lets you skip screens faster :)

HA. I wasn't quite sure why you could just eat up all the buzzsaws and never die, but then I got to the ending and I started laughing. Cute.

Indeed, an amazing entry for only 6 hours. I liked everything about it, especially the humour. The next step would be adding a scoring system and a ladder.

Wow! So excellent! Totally not what I was expecting. You rock.

I would totally have attempted a perfect fall, if I had been able to skip the dialogue at the beginning. For some reason, the secret sub theme of LD29 has been "unskippable dialogue".

This was really fun and funny. And wow! For 6 hours, this is really polished!
But it's really hard. >_< I'll try again... later.
