This game is really hard. My personal high score is 505.
Ninja infinite runner with swords. Try to run as far as you can. The minimalism of this game is that you control the game with only the mouse. I livestreamed myself making the entire game. Twitch.tv/eteeski

Control Notes - Attack is semi-auto. Meaning click click click is three attacks, ect.. The jump + direction affects how high or far you jump. The rest of the controls are explained in game.
The gameplay is still a bit messy and there are a lot of WTF deaths, but overall, I'm happy with how it turned out in 48 hours (used 23 hours, rest of time was spent sleeping and eating).

I like it, though its really difficult. I watched you make the game for the last 6 hours or so while I was working on my game. Did you consider making the jump button just right mouse instead of right mouse and up? I feel like that would make it a lot easier.
Awesome! This was actually a lot of fun. After figuring out the controls, I found them surprisingly intuitive. It is challenging but I could honestly fins myself playing this to pass the time. Nice work!
Really awesome mechanic! I've never seen controls like this. Jumping is a little difficult though, because you either jump way too far or not far enough.
Weirdest thing is that I couldn't get the Linux binary to work correctly. It used a window that was about twice my desktop (FullHD) and I couldn't see the game. However, the Windows version worked just fine under Wine.
Nice work. The ninja's running feet animation is hynoptic... Slow-mo was great, slicing up a ninja star mid-air made me feel better about losing so much.
Are the levels procedurally generated? Too many walls!
This is REALLLLLLLLLLY fun and innovative. I mean, it's a "runner", sure... but I really feel like I'm in some kind of action film. The slo mo effects with sound and the ability to rotate in midair are my favorite effects. It's a little tough, sure... but that's what kept me coming back for more! I say polish this sucker up and keep going. Keep a minimalist art style... it works... but maybe stylize it a bit. You have something really awesome, here. CONGRATS!
this game is cruel. I was totally looking forward to slicing up some bad boys after all the instruction on sword fighting and then all I get are dull throwing stars -_- :) Nice work tough and could turn out really interesting with some polish.
A love ninja games and this was something that really gave you the ability to be like one. Really loved the mechanics, could use some music though and it was a bit difficult. Nice overall good job.
This is the kind of running game I enjoy playing, it has that certain finesse that feels more satisfying than just simple jump. Definitely challenging! With the right art and animation this would be great!
i like the players feet animation , but thought the enviroment and obsticles could heve been slightly more detailed to add a bit more character. Effects are really cool though. fun but realy hard.
This game has HIGH potential to be absolutely fun. Like competition winning fun. The controls are SO UNGODLY DIFFICULT that I don't even want to bother learning them.
Current control scheme is good. The only thing I have trouble with is measuring the jump distance. The famous 'jump to the spike every now and then' kind of thing!
Randomness gets pretty brutal often times.
Doing the spinning thing over and over is quite funny My best score was merely 183. Cool twist on the genre.
Wow, this game is super harsh. I like it! It reminds me of the old NES-era games where you learned or you died (kind of like an 8-bit Game of Thrones ;)).
I got into it a few tries in, when the controls started making sense. Didn't make it easier though! Overall: liked it. Maybe ramp up the difficulty slower, a little bit? The controls were okay, but would probably work really well on a tablet, with touch-controls.
