This one is pretty good. It's a bit odd in places, but if you just flat out ignore enemies or just take a hit, it's not a big deal. The only section that probably requires a readjustment is the 2nd stage start, as not using the shurikens, will mean taking a lot of hits due to the sometimes bad hit detection.

Boss health is done in an odd manner. Instead of multicolored, maybe a larger bar, it just is, so you can just be whaling on a boss for a good bit before seeing the bar go down. While I don't mind the hook not working in short range, sometimes you can be hitting an enemy and nothing happens, even to a point that sometimes it does hit, others it won't. While enemies can guard, these aren't guarding enemies.

Normal enemies are fair for the most part, really it's just purposeful choke points that any enemy could probably become an issue. Bosses are fair, the one that will probably get you is the last boss when he gets enraged, but if you go to a certain spot, it's just a matter of time.

Fun, short game.
