Kung Fu Star by Parasyte
Please read all of the notes before playing:
Commit 299cd908... in my github project is the competition release. (Commits 2180f1ae... and dc7a6d92... are catastrophic bug fixes.)
The game is a ninja rope action platformer with bonus #NOKILL - You only get one skill; the rope! There are enemy ninjas that throw ninja stars at you, but rather than hurting you, they can only cut your rope. Mind the gap!
Controls: WASD or Arrow Keys to move. Space bar to jump. Hold shift to shadow-dash. Mouse to use rope: point-and-click.
Detaching ropes: Either use another rope, or jump to automatically detach.
Pro-roper technique: While shadow-dashing, jump and attach a rope. Use your forward-momentum to propel yourself in an upward arc. At the peak of the arc, quickly reverse direction and jump in mid-air to do a mega ninja rope master fling. It will send you flying onto the platform to which your rope was attached.

I guess the "you only get one" theme is that you're a ninja, but you only get one ninja skill (rope). No sword, no stars, no flipping out ...
