Wow. It's evident a lot of effort went into this. Miles-long improvement. (I still can't shake off the "Flash-based game" vibe from it, but that's just my personal opinion. Great work nonetheless.)

Reminds me a lot of numerous arcade sidescrollers .. except in HD. Looks nice.

Love the little drone, it really caught me off-guard. Shatterhand, eh?

Overall, title aside, the one thing I'd say feels off is the ninjas all having the same death sound. Gets pretty hilarious for the wrong reasons.

Other than that, a nice Shinobi-like. Will definitely play when it's ready.

You won't feel the flash effect when running it on an actual monitor.
The youtube video lacks smoothness and also details.

The death sounds, boss charging sounds, Dan transformation voicing and dialogues are still not implemented.
They are next on the list before the game release.

Nice, I remember the old previews a few years back. Glad this is getting finished.

Really like the silly animation of the ninjas on the bonus stage. This has come a long way, so congratulations!

I would like also to thank people in this forum.
Some of the remarks were of big importance.

I especially remember one guy who said to make Dan the main character move faster, and many other great feedback.

Man, this would look great next to a double dragon cabinet in a 7-11 back in the late 80's. Instant nostalgia vibe, in the best way.

Will the game support 4:3 monitors (borderless)?

The game is natively a multiple of 320*224, the native resolution is (1000*700)
I would say yes? if the monitor is 4:3, then it will fill the whole screen with little to no stretching?
(it supports all the resolutions that the graphics card can provide, but starts to look good starting 640*480).

But i don't know, I don't have a 4:3 monitor and have no experience in this area.

Seeing that trailer made me think of this.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

Glad to know, the game seems really fun. 1000x700 is a weird one but nowadays there are tools to set almost anything. Any reason why you didn't choose the Windows standard 800x600?

I initially wanted 1280*720, but the price for the sprites was double, as when sprites for example is 50 pixels height and wide and cost lets say 40$, a sprite that is 51$ will cost double which is 80$
So i choose one that i could manage, and what i especially wanted is a ratio like of 320 over 224, 1000 / 700 has the same.

Looks nice! Reminds me of classic comics and TMNT. I like how one boss resembles Lex Luthor.

Shadow Gangs is out.

I recommend you play on Easy first, as there is health bar in this mode.
