Extremely hard Typing of the Dead type of game. Couldn't make it past 3rd level. It seems I have to fail and memorize the words.

Very fun, but it gets annoying having to start from the beginning every time I mess up.

Killing those ninjas just felt right. It was satisfying mastering this game.

Seemed to turn into a memorization pattern game which was a turn off for me.

Unfortunately, I'm not enough of a ninja to beat the final boss. Or the LOFBASNFBLASOLBASFIB, as I keep trying to spell it.

Way too difficult. Not very original. Nice sound effects and graphics though.

I have never typed "finalboss" so fast in my life! Very fun and challenging, my only suggestion would've been to randomize the letters but that would make this nearly impossible! Well done!

Felt too much like a too fast paced memorization game

Fun idea, good job.

The timer is WAY too short to succeed at any of the attacks the first time. The result is retrying from the beginning every time and memorizing the pattern. A solution could be more specific hints or a longer timer. Still, this game has a charming ninja vibe and succeeding in an attack is satisfying.

A decent idea, but way too difficult. The only way I could beat it was by memorizing the attacks, rather than by looking at the screen.

This game was kind of hard but was fun xD. The funny part: "You're a ninja so obviously you are super fast and awesome" that was hilarious xD never tho that i needed to actually press the keys super fast xD The audio was awesome, i like the guitar. Anyways Good work :D
