Thanks, yasasnermana, for posting gameplay vid which helps clarify this is Friut Ninja with paint brushes: a twitchy, slash the lines before they hit the edge of the screen kinda game. What would be cool is if the screen interaction drove character melee animations depicting the battle. touchy85 Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2015 1,616 1 38 #11 touchy85, Feb 18, 2016 man, this game is super hard. Even on the easiest difficulty setting. H4nd0fg0d Well-Known Member Mar 30, 2010 1,905 0 36 #12 H4nd0fg0d, Feb 19, 2016 Game is reeeeeallllllly starting to piss me off!!! H4nd0fg0d Well-Known Member Mar 30, 2010 1,905 0 36 #13 H4nd0fg0d, Feb 19, 2016 Oh it's a lot more messed up than not letting swords reach the screen edge. Lol TernTek Member Nov 12, 2015 11 0 0 Game Developer http://terntek.com #14 TernTek, Feb 19, 2016 This is really an awesome experience. I love the art, story and music too. Each level is fresh the mechanics keep on changing. But note that this game is designed to challenge you so be prepared. Roaring was probably the hardest level for me. When you get further where you need to shoot leaves, remember to hold down to shoot the leaves further. Took me a while to figure that out. TernTek Member Nov 12, 2015 11 0 0 Game Developer http://terntek.com #15 TernTek, Feb 19, 2016 Lol just when I thought it would get easier it gets even harder. This is not about swords. It is the finger martial arts. They should offer you a tiny black belt after you finish this game.

Let's see what master mode has to offer...!? TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #17 TheGreatEscaper, Feb 19, 2016 Last edited: Feb 19, 2016 Whew, just finished normal mode and the first two swords of advanced. Pretty fun game, haven't been finding it as difficult as some of the posters here seem to make it out as. It's a hard game alright but it's not a frustration box like many other games. It's like stressful meditation. Edit: AAAAAND up to the master difficulty, on the fat sword levels. I take back what I said above. My fingers hurt. H4nd0fg0d Well-Known Member Mar 30, 2010 1,905 0 36 #18 H4nd0fg0d, Feb 19, 2016 Complex simplicity melded with a beautiful aesthetic and bounding with challenges. Kudos, regret has been vanquished along with the amateur level. Great stuff indeed. H4nd0fg0d Well-Known Member Mar 30, 2010 1,905 0 36 #19 H4nd0fg0d, Feb 19, 2016 If you thought roaring was tough, you have much much more complex trials to overcome. May the force be with you. My initial disdain has been replaced with respect for this test of trials and tribulations. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
