You wake up on Laundry day to find your mother missing and an abundance of smelly socks! You play as sock ninja, a rather odorous youngster with a smelly weapon up his sleeve.

While this isn't nearly as "polished" as I would have liked, but that's how the competition works!

WASD/Arrow Keys move
Space bar to throw socks!

Absolutely stupid, but in a good way. Ninja throwing smelly socks? I love the idea. :)

Can't go wrong with dirty toxic sock-throwing ninja combat.

jbasinger20 Apr 2015, 02:22

That was fun!

A little glitchy but still pretty fun! Good work :)

Fanttum20 Apr 2015, 02:23

Haha, so great. Loved the music and vibe of it all. Kinda tricky, but lots of fun. Why couldn't I pick up the socks when I jumped on them?

This is an awesome game. Really nice graphics, super colourful.The 8-Bit music is also a nice touch. Overall a really fun game!

Pretty fun, impressed you made three levels in the alloted time.

The Mac Download link gives me a windows executable!

I loved the retro-feeling. Art, sound and music fit pretty well and bring back memories from older games, which is always nice ^^

The text was hard to read(due to the color of the font) and the AI needs a bit more of work (right now it's easy to glitch it). But as you already said this is a jam, no room for polishement! :P

good work!

I like it how during the dialog I can still throw socks at them. It looked like a glitch, but still very funny that I can do that.
Good work!

Really funny. Loved throwing smelly socks at other ninjas

Nice, simple and runs well, although not much content.

eddynardo21 Apr 2015, 20:38

The funniest i ve played so far.Those smeelly shocks are really well made.Liked the pixel art.The game is not challenging i managed to save my mom(laundry) really easy hehehe!

metalfist21321 Apr 2015, 20:39

It's so stupid that it's good

hypp21 Apr 2015, 21:05

Well done, I could almost smell the socks through the screen :-)

cbear_wallis21 Apr 2015, 21:23

nice little game :) pretty funny. I liked how there was a story lol

Hammers21 Apr 2015, 21:25

Nice idea. You managed to get a lot of stuff in there and it's a complete game so you should be proud for managing all that in the 48h. Like the retro feel of the audio and art style.

NMcCoy21 Apr 2015, 21:28

Pretty cute and an interesting take on the theme. A few physics and camera issues (in particular on the last level) but not bad. :)

oparisy21 Apr 2015, 21:35

Liked the weapon mechanics (how I could grab those to use them again). Felt like towerfall ascension :)

The shinoby-like ending was fun too.

Dagatts21 Apr 2015, 22:32

Nice game overall! I like the concept of getting the ammunation again after you throw it. The enemies bugged out a bit on the second lvl, they kept running on the same spot after defeating them and would still hurt me, but good job mate!

Croze21 Apr 2015, 22:36

Lol that was really cute and funny, really cool concept, it felt generally polished to me! Graphics and audio fit rally well, and I loved the character commentary!

Nibble Bits Studio21 Apr 2015, 22:59

The ideia is great and well done!

Ershany21 Apr 2015, 23:33

Such a awesome idea, and fun too :)

ETHproductions21 Apr 2015, 23:49

Nice one! One of the most fun 5 minutes I've ever spent. Graphics fit the style nicely!

cgmorton22 Apr 2015, 14:05

It's misleading to give Mac and Linux links with a Windows executable inside.

nonetheless22 Apr 2015, 19:07

I'm apparently completing levels but I don't really know what I'm doing and what I am supposed to do :)

thenoviceengineer22 Apr 2015, 19:24

Hilarious :P I loved the little story / dialogue sections. It got a bit tense towards the end as I only had two socks and ended up throwing 1 off screen somewhere... xD

vortex24 Apr 2015, 18:04

I was squinting so hard to read the text...
But all in all it's a nice game that could do with some polishing the collisions

filipe.silva24 Apr 2015, 20:52

Great fun. The idea of using dirty socks really cool. Could have a life bar at the enemies, but that does not compromise on anything the game. The graphics were very good.

Archonthewizard26 Apr 2015, 02:50

Impressive compo entry, I had a lot of fun with it. Great theme, and the art and audio was done very well. The only small piece of criticism I have it I wish the fire button didn't have a slight delay.

mathmadlen26 Apr 2015, 13:03

that was really fun! Nice concept, cool graphics - good job!

Bergara27 Apr 2015, 05:46

Has some bugs and the music got old very fast, but the gameplay was fun and the idea hilarious, I like it.

Evergreen Games28 Apr 2015, 03:58

pretty good! its fun to learn the patterns of the AI.

esayitch30 Apr 2015, 11:27

Nice concept, graphics and sound are all right as well... there is some issues with collision, especially while jumping over friendlies...

Good job overall, good luck :)

HeffJoker1 May 2015, 23:07

Very well made! I love the music and sound effects. Beginning, middle, and end... nice! Just a small suggestion: make the enemy colliders more round so you can't stand on them so perfectly :)
