- While I found the approach and interpretation of the themes to be quite clever; using the concept of shinobis as shadow, and also tying that to alchemy--in the sense of transformation--I found this intriguing before and during my time playing. I also found the art style to have been done quite well; from the character designs to the environment around them and even some of the items and enemies you'd have to encounter, all done well. As for the playability, I found myself struggling to do proper platforming during my play time. There were too many moments where the player would go through parts of the environment and the double jump feature felt like it lagged a bit in regards to the input from the keyboard, so I didn't enjoy that aspect as much as I would've liked to. Overall, I believe what you presented here was a good experience, and I would like to see more of how both themes could be expanded upon (maybe more story to interact with/see). Keep up the good work, all the same.

Greatest Shinobi is a 2.5D platformer that involves the main
character, Ike, a member of a super duper secret ninja clan, using their
ability to transform into different shadow creatures in order to save the
members of their organization from the clutches of a really bad EVIL NINJA
ORGANIZATION. It's up to them in their clumsy glory to not just save their
clan but also prove they are a true ninja.
It includes platforming and dealing with enemies. One of the major mechanics is the Shadow Transformation, where Ike, the main character, dons a suit of shadows based on an animal.
