Gameplay Score: 5

Gameplay Notes:

two buttons plus a magic attack and a MM3 slide nice sweeping sword attack - guy has more reach and girl has more height 2 player co-op! Metroid screw attack! also hold down to attack downward in three directions pretty responsive controls, if a tiny bit slow attack can deflect projectiles (thank you)


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

a little too much handholding with an ever-present direction indicator can climb walls and ceilings levels don't just go to the right - lots of verticality great set pieces - fight on a back of an F-15!


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

futuristic ninja vibe


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

clean, clear platforms nice details like shrapnel from explosions nice, short animations levels have distinct look and style some levels have interesting backgrounds with parallax scrolling but others are quite plain

pleasant, if forgettable music good sound effects


Overall Score: 88
