    Ok so i bought this earlier, and wow, it really is alot better than i thought it would be. definitely worth $2, hell it could be worth $4 with some updates, but a happy medium might be $3. some things i think would be good:

    1. Multitouch. itd be kinda cool if u could be running and be able to swipe/tap to attack at the same time

    2. the 'draw a circle' to shoot a fireball. uhm. kinda difficult to draw a circle in the midst of battle. [or at least for me]

    3. i saw the ninjas using the teleportation thing. i thought that maybe as i progressed i would unlock the ability, but u dont :( so i think itd be cool if that could get added

    4. Openfeint!! i know its already g2b added but i just wanted to say it anyways ;)

    Overall tho i think its a great game..totally worth the money..its disappointing u guys arent selling more copies..perhaps a lite version would help sales?

    It does support multi-touch. You can do movement with one hand, and attack with the other. Some of the actions like roll or jump are directional based and the direction of action is overriden by your direction of movement.

    So moving to the left, and swiping down will do a roll to the left.

    Ah, I just woke up so I took the easy one ;)

    Fireball gesture being difficult has been reported by others as well. We will look into that and try to make it easier. For now though try making a full circle that is closed (tip to tip), and make it large enough. That might help.

    We never had the intention of giving teleport ability for various reasons. I am not sure how we can incorporate into the combat so as to do it easily, but we'll think about it. Controls will be the limiting factor. He already has a roll and jump for getting away, so teleport might not be all that useful.

    Someone else asked about OpenFeint as well. We hadn't said we will incorporate it but if enough people ask we will. We like the idea of it, but we also wanted to manage and serve the data ourselves. If anyone else wants OpenFeint feel free to post here or email or PM me.

    Thanks for the suggestions. There are other things we want to add to the game so hopefully you will be happy with those instead. :)

    hahahahhahaha thats fine :)

    K good to know that the fireball is getting looked into

    Yea thats tru bout it being potentially unnecessary..i just thought it looked cool :D

    I trust ur guys' future updates, cant wait ^_^ oh i just thought of another suggestion tho, so theres the basic combo when u tap the screen, perhaps add unlockable combos to further that tap-tap-tap combo?

    Hopefully u get alot of requests for OF :D that could potentially help ur sales tho..sometimes ppl try to look for OF enabled games [i know i do :)]

    Bought the game yesterday and took me 1 hour to complete the story.

    I guess the game is too easy and definitevely too short :mad:

    I know you can play in survivel mode but I guess this game has been released too early and should have deserved a better and longer scenario

    Anyway the game is very good, I loved play one hour on it but I don't think I will play it again until next upgrade.

    I love the game, the gesture control is a nice touch. This game reminds me of Little Fighter on the PC.

    Very funny and I love the animation. 2 dollars, no regrets. It's been awhile since I bought a game. This one got me playing my iPhone again:)

    Yeah, background music was something I also felt was missing. I'm really hoping for updates on this game.

    We noted that most people didn't care for background music and ended up listening to their own iPod music.

    As for updates, we are working on a big update and should submit in a few days. This update includes difficulty modes, 2 more gameplay modes, and obstacles throughout the story levels. It is not Chapter 2, but I think it gives enough replayability to the game until Chapter 2 is released.
