Took me a little while to understand what I was doing at first, but I managed to escape (many times) the ninjas. The addition of the balloons and ninjas that move in reverse of your movement make for very interesting and fun puzzles and it would be interesting to see more puzzle mechanics.
A bit of a nitpick, but I think the Shadow Length’s lock on to the ninja should still occur if the length is 0 but still in range, would make for a better feeling lock on.
Beat about 10 levels. Very interesting mechanic and there's a lot of potential here. The controls were a too finicky and sticky to want to play more. It would be nice if you found a way to make lengths more discrete and simple (1, 2, 3, 4, instead of 45, 50, 53, etc)
We happen to both choose the same title for our games, but it's amazing to see how different in the interpretation of the theme we went :D I think you're game is pretty nice and well designed, the only issue I had is to get a little bit of practice with the control in the first levels (especially when you connect more than one thing, as in that case how the different segment extend is a little bit counter intuitive to me), but then I got the hang of it and it the last levels understood why you implemented it that way.
Neat puzzler! I like how the levels had progression such that new gameplay mechanics were introduced in a way that it became intuitive to learn them. Good work!
Very interesting puzzle game. Each of levels was well thought out and progressively introduced new concepts and difficulties. I would have preferred a more ninja-sounding music, but the sound effects are kinda cool.

Overall, good job!
