“I love runners. But definitely not this one. Unresponsive controls (mouse controls feels better somehow), lazy level design. Jump key often does not work, most of the obstacles are barely visible or not visible at all. Beat the game (50…”
“I love games with ninjas, but this one is a complete trash. Jump, jump, jump... nothing more. And it looks like a old flash game. Not worth even half a penny.”
