How it feels

A fast-paced side-scrolling action game where you slash and throw shurikens at monsters as a ninja trying to survive and get home.

What players say

Players agree the game is hardcore and punishing, but many found the controls broken until resetting to default settings in the menu. A notorious difficulty spike on stage 5 frustrates players, and late-game requires grinding 9,999 actions each for two weapons. Some note the art includes only 5 AI-generated images.
