Yea, that move. But there's another one that says attack, wait, then press the attack button again and hold it. Which doesn't seem to do anything different than if I attack wait and spam the attack button rapidly which is what I do in order to juggle em. Wondering if that's a bug or two different moves or what I'm doing wrong.
This is for the current version of the game right? And how do you get Master rank anyways? Can't be hit at all? Because I think I was hit like 3 times on one of the levels, and didn't get the Master rank.
I just played this a bit. I think they maybe the same move? What I saw is that you can get what seems to up to 4 hits while in the air if you keep pressing the attack button. But if you don't keep pressing it you get less. I don't think you're doing anything wrong.... ?
The key in survival mode is to keep jumping like a madman to dodge enemy attacks (bullets, bombs, swords, etc). I never got the crashing bug that people are talking about in survival mode, nor have I received any bugs whatsoever in the time I play this game (which is often) EDIT: Would be pretty sweet if the ninja could use throwing stars or do some vanishing move to avoid pirates.
Unfortunately, only having melee moves is the point of the game and to reinforce how annoying the gunmen are. Your best bet is for there to be a level 5 supermove where he throws stars, then does crazy slashing.
OMG Crashes I'm in the survival and have 256 kills.. but it wont go beyond that.. it just freezes after he leaves the board. WTF.. IS anyone else having this problem?
I had the same problem. I was around 274 kills, 180 hits ... crashed. Right when you clear everything and your ninja jumps off screen right? They fixed the problem ... but we'll have to wait till the update comes out!
From one dev to another... you guys knocked this out of the park! I can't stop playing it! My only complaint is that I want more Long live 2D Beat em ups!
Amen! I just beat it on hard while on the train. Hehe, went right back into survival mode and just killed as many pirates as I could till then. Very polished product and for two bucks was well worth it. I only noticed one bug: At the second boss...some of the normal pirates would get frozen in place. When I'd hit them during a combo, they'd remain in place in their "getting hit" animation. If I hit them again, they'd go back to normal. Not a game breaker by any means.
It's a great game glad to have buy it at dayone. My only complaint is that it's a little too short but i also think that the quality/price relationship in the AppStore has accustomed us too much well.. i finished it in less than an hour (easy mode) and i'm a level 16 ninja..sooner or later i'll restart playing it just to see all the combo great little game however
Spotted a bug too... When you get to 240 kills on survival, the ninja guy jumps off the screen and the game freezes. So the best possible score is 239.
Mine froze at 274 . The issue seems to be related to when the ninja dude jumps off to the screen to go to the next area...
OMG! Pirates is a very good game. It is a little bit hard for me. I can't kill these pirate on normal level. There are couple of bug, but overall game is very good.
I had the same problem. The key for me was to use jump to properly position myself. Try not to have enemies behind your back. When you jump, you're invulnerable while you're in the air. So it can help with moving away from enemy clusters. Good luck!
