I love this game! I was looking for a game like this for my Ipad, and this is perfect! I can tell that you have drawn inspiration from super meat boy, with the wall jumps, permanent blood, and super hard platforming, but I wouldn’t say it is a copy, as this game has more of a story and has certain game elements not present in meat boy, such as the shuriekens.
This is an amazing game, but there are a few tweaks that could be had. The respawn time being one of them. It isn’t a huge issue, and when you get into the game, it is hardly noticeable, but if you could make the respawn time slightly shorter, that would be amazing. Another small nitpick is the in-air sprite for the character. The character would benefit greatly from having a different in air sprite, aside from the arms at side one that is in the game now. It doesn’t affect the gameplay, it would just look nicer. The last thing is that at times, the buttons seem sort of small. If they were just a little larger, it would be great.
I love this game. I love the music, and I love the way it feels to control the character. Sorry for being so nitpicky, i’ll go now.
