In this game, you (a crazy drunk ninja) must fight against alien stickmen for the sake of all mankind ! (that's it, and yes, this is the whole story...).
Windows/Mac/linux versions : You have to download both the executable file and the adjacent folder.
How to play :
TLDR : Put your red fists in their yellow faces. Avoid their red parts.
PRO TIP : You can try to "whirl" by going up, left, down right in a circle so that your arms swing around you and punch aliens in their ugly faces. (like that : http://bit.ly/1w8lcnb );
Your character is completely crazy and/or drunk, so you cannot actually decide what he is doing, you can only direct him to where you want him to go. And, as if an out of control ninja wasn't enough to begin with, you are also being attacked by aliens ! You must try to land a punch while avoiding their red tentacles. Pro tip, "aim" for the head.
Funny! The slow down was a little too much. It would have been nice to trigger for 'combos' though. I wasn't quite sure how to get the fists to do what I wanted them to do, but it didn't matter. Great job on this!
I had a lot of fun with this! I had a few minor quibbles, such as the lack of an exit option (I had it fullscreen and had to Alt-F4 to quit) and text being cut off at certain 4:3 resolutions. But the concept is solid and its a fun, challenging, and somewhat random (in a good way) experience. Great work!
I had fun with this actually! I would have liked to be able to have some kind of control over my arms. It made it difficult to fight without getting hit myself.
@yongcamu Sold ! He's named McGroove. By the way, I just added some pro tip in the description about my special secret move you can do in the game. Try to make the circle with the arrow keys (slowly and keep the rythm), you will start whirling and swinging your arms around. It take a bit of training but once you master it... you'll be unstopable !
Very fun! Just running away from enemies is super satisfying because of the animation!
Feels like something someone could get really good at with practice!
One suggestion I could make would be to consider making it more clear when you're getting hits in on enemies and when they hit you. Death can be a bit surprising at times. A think a good fix for this would be to have the blood of aliens being different to the ninja's blood.
Hi there. Loved the movements, especially the weird aliens. All quite Drunken Master. Very fluid. Killed quite a lot of them with your suggested whirl moves both directions. Nice music, maybe needs to be a bit quieter than the SFX, or punches louder ... Good job!
It never ceases to amaze what kind of bizarre gems one can find when going through LD entries. This has been one of the funniest games I've played. I loved the music and the use of slow-mo. It would have been nice to have more control over the character, though.
Really fun idea, it's hard to manage the move of the arm, but with a more realistic skeleton and joint it could make something really fun to play. The bullet time effect on hit is awesome and give a great depth to the gameplay. It only lack of more precision, and even variation, but that's one of the rare beatthemall in this LD.
This is the funniest game I have seen in this jam so far. I think the music is contrasting the wiggly movement of the player character really nicely. Good job!

I got the pleasure of killing aliens =)
(Now I have to hand the game over to my son who is begging me to play it)
But man this is FUN.

Otherwise, really enjoyed this - nice work!
Also the text are just blocks for me, and this, I don't know if it's intentional: http://i.imgur.com/DaGLnF4.png
5 Innovation for me ~
