How does your game fit the theme?
The core mechanic involves holding your breath to avoid enemies detecting you.

Pretty decent, I liked that it had an actual story and was impressed that it felt meaningful. I would argue that it appeared very polished and well done. The design was pleasant and the monsters seemed like a real threat. Well done fellas!

Nice Game!!
Nice platformer challenge! I thought the jumps felt a bit floaty, so I would recommend checking out one of the perfect platformer jump tutorials on YouTube for some helpful tips. Additionally I appreciated how you credited all the asset sources in the credits. That's a practice that often gets overlooked. Overall, well done!
The game it's quite fun to play. But there are some implementation issues (hit detections, enemy movements, attack gets stuck sometime...). The theme seems a bit forced as it is basically an invisibility ninja ability (which also doesn't make you undetectable as explained but invulnerable to the hits). So overall fun to play, very nice ninja themed but different elements make it a mixed bag and it lack a bit of identity as a result.
Hi! Thanks for playing the game and for leaving a review! I'm glad you had fun, I count that as an absolute success! :)
Indeed, holding breath in this game is like a stealth ability. It is not stated very clearly, but it is mentioned that touching enemies will alert them to your presence. I'll keep it in mind for future games!
A very distinct mix of artstyles, congrats for the game!
Thank you! :)
A solid submission! Only thing I'd say is that it's hard to tell when an enemy or the player is hit right away
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! You're correct, that is something that should be improved. Maybe a sound cue or simply changing the animations would make it clearer. I'll keep that in mind in the future!
Theme was present and visuals are good. The main lack is music which suddenly stops after several minutes. Also some kind of music for the intro would have been nice.
Thanks for the feedback! I completely missed the music bit, as I added it very close to the end of production. Lessons learned!
