Salmon Ninja

Just picked up the game today, certainly fun, with tons of origional art and stuff! One thing I keep running into is clicking off the game while its in fullscreen and it bugs my game out, having to restart the whole thing. I know its because I have two monitors, but I would hope my cursor would stay in my first monitor, because I could be on a sick run! I'll definitely be playing it for a few weeks minmum since im a leaderboard junky! I hope the story elongates in the future, since it was short! (For me atleast). SPOILER ALERT------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the wife of the Salmon ninja spawned, I was like "OH MY GOD IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!" I have never experienced a feeling like this at the end of a game before, so I have to say wonderful job on the story! I usually skip over story stuff, but this one was funny and worthwhile! Thanks for a great game! ~Shaun

#yoin! everything as expected, saw it many times in the stream and it's hilarious to play and watch. good luck furthermore D. you and this game deserve it! best wishes from Germany, Link

This is a really solid, cute little platformer with a hook mechanic and low-res art style. Controls are keyboard to move and mouse to attack and aim the hook. The character movement is quick and not the easiest for precision platforming, but the game (mostly) doesn't demand anything beyond the tools it gives you. The story and dialogue is adorable. It's a one-sitting game, so the $9 price tag might seem like a high ask, but if you're looking for a fun speedrun project, I recommend giving it a look. You could stretch the 1-2 hour playtime to dozens of hours trying to get to the top of the leaderboard (or especially do full game runs). I really enjoyed it.

A small and fun challenge-platformer that uses grapple mechanics. The graphics are simple yet neat and the cutscenes are light-hearted. Definitely has its own charm. The game is way more platforming-focused, since the bosses are a cakewalk compared to the platforming that becomes quite brutal near the end (especially when going for gold medals).

Maybe fine if you play platformers on keyboard anyway but if you care about speedrunning/getting the gold medals then playing on kbm is a must because the controller support for this game is terrible.

Honestly a pretty good game on paper, but for whatever reason it just wasn't doing it for me. And I am a massive fan of this style of platformer. It looks great, and mechanically feels "solid". Has leaderboards and speedrun medals which is awesome. BUT No controller support is a big con for me, could have easily had controller support with right stick for aiming the grapple like "dandara". Also the game looks pretty nice and is well put together. But the level design, enemys, and bosses are incredibly generic and boring in terms of gameplay. This isn't necessarily a downvote because it's bad, it's more that I would recommend probably 50+ other similiar games over this one at this price point, and honestly even at a heavy discount.

If you like hardcore platformers you will love this game. It has all the basic elements you would want, tight controls, great level design, and a cool grappling hook mechanic that opens up lots of fun level designs. It also has a cute story and well written dialogue that will make you chuckle from time to time. The game is divided into 4 worlds, each with 7 levels, one story segment, and a boss fight at the end. Each individual level is further divided into several checkpoints, which is great, because even though you will die a lot you will never have to replay long sections of a level and there is literally always a check point after a tough segment. The bosses are standard fare, you will die a few times learning their patterns but none of them are tough once you know how to dodge their attacks. The game took me just shy of 2 hours to beat, there are also leaderboards for time trials if you are into that sort of thing. The game has a pretty good difficulty curve, the earlie...

One of the better difficult platformers on steam. Feels really good to play, even if you're not good it makes you feel like you're doing something really cool.

Fun game. Really enjoyed the artwork.
