The concept is not bad, it's obviously a parody\/homage of Ninja Gaiden and there's nothing wrong with that. And it's tough being a developer, and you can't please everyone. I didn't like this game, but I always feel bad leaving bad reviews on indie games. Anyway, here are some facts and opinions:\u25ac PROS \u25ac- Decent DOS-y \/ NES-y graphics- Cool blood physics effects and stuff- Get double jump from the beginning (I love jumpin)- Wall climbing is always fun- Lots of checkpoints- No lives (they know the game is hard)- Collectibles are mostly well placed\u25ac CONS \u25ac- Rigid jumping physics make for annoying platforming- Unoriginal and Difficult to read enemy design- Wind- Walls are too clingy (often accidentally grab onto walls and get killed)- High contrast graphics hard on eyes after a while- Bosses are uninspired and not very fun- Wind- Spikes on pretty much every surface- No powerups (at least as far in as I played. If the game doesn't have anything but jumping within the first 20 minutes it's too dry for me)- No real original mechanics or well-adapted borrowed mechanics- Wall jumping is wonky and often leads to death- Poor enemy AI- etc etc etcI'm not sure what advice I'd give to the developers to improve the game without changing the vision of the game. I'm not sure if this is how the game is intended to be. These are some things I'd be interested in:- More enemies, but you have a weak projectile (shuriken)- Maybe some enemies have projectiles but you can deflect them?- Some kind of ground\/air dash for mobility and attacking- Less stiff jumping (gradually slow as you reach jump apex, then slowly but exponentially increase fall speed. You know, how gravity works)- Make dying constantly not a huge element of the game (personal preference - repetition is not always fun)- Maybe an ability system like the lantern items from Ninja Gaiden- Maybe couch co-op mode with even more enemies?- Get rid of the wind (sorry, I've hated wind mechanics in platformers since Lost Levels)If you're reading this, Dev, keep making games! Don't ever get discouraged!. This game took me 5 hours to complete.The reason I am giving this game a negative review is that the later stages become so difficult and unforgiving that the game stop being fun and turns into a tedious chore.+++Positives++++I loved the art. The animations are crisp. The cutscenes are funny and cute. The stages all have unique looks.+The game length feels right+Consistent difficulty ramp up+New gameplay mechanics are introduced constantly+You will feel a huge wave of relief if you beat it---Negatives----Starts feeling extremely tedious (waiting on laser cycles, trial and error gameplay)-Movement is slightly sluggish (slight acceleration when you start moving, static jump height)-Wall climb mechanic takes some getting use to, and you will need to be a wall climb master to beat the game-This game is almost entirely platforming, you will go long stretches without attacking-Checkpoints are infrequent on the last stagesThe game isn't bad, and if you are looking for an extreme retro challenge then this game might be perfect for you.Don't try to beat it in one sitting.. I loved the original Xbox Indie Mute Crimson, but I held off on picking this remake up since, well, I figured I already bought and played it. Took my little blocky caterpillar ninja through his high contrast world, gathered all of the coins, and liked it enough to publish a poorly written review for my Xbox Indie site. I didn't see much reason to return.I was wrong. The big improvement here are certainly the graphics. The old shoebox now looks like an actual ninja guy. The scant enemies and levels look much better and animate smoothly. We now can enjoy some impressive cinematic art between levels as well, and everything just pops. For a game with a mostly two color palette, it looks really good. Kinda like a 2-D MadWorld. Well, maybe not, but it oozes style.Platforming is tight and a joy to play. If you're like me, then you're a fast approaching middle-aged white guy, but then you'd also find the level design strict and at times maddening but always fair. You'd also hate the rising lava levels which Mute Crimson+ employs on occasion, stressing out our fat middle-aged hearts to dangerous limits. Welcomed modern conveniences of infinite lives and checkpoints will help keep your sanity intact, though they're far from a crutch. An optional goal of finding hidden coins in a level provide further challenge, and it can be tough to secure it and make it out alive.There's still a bit of clunkiness present what with the inexplicable arrow zones which alter the control of the ninja, but these spots add some much needed variety to the game and help flesh out a journey otherwise dominated by jumping and slashing. I'm so glad there are people out there who remember that platformers can exist between the extremes of masochist memorization and cakewalk adventure fetch-quests. Mute Crimson+ feels so refreshing by comparison, even after playing the XBLIG original. It's not going to blow anyone away, but it's an immensely satisfying game all the same.. Cool platformer! Tight controls that are simple yet satisfying to learn, varied and well-desiged stages, solid boss battles, great art and music, a good level of challenge with many difficult optional modes for players who really want to test themselves - it's an easy recommendation.. A decent little action platformer. It's quite hard, but not crazy hard.It doesn't do anything particularly new or exciting, but it's a solid game to play for a few hours.Some reviews are complaining about the controls, I thought they were good once you got used to the quirks. Also the final boss battle is awesome!. Mute Crimson+ is an extremely challenging game yet very well built and very fun.The flow of the game is really nice, controls and movements are great and the music is good too.If you enjoy challenging platformers, I recommend picking up Mute Crimson+ and putting your skills to the test.Tip: Occassionaly it can be difficult to know where to go next in a few areas. Do a bit of scouting in the directions you're allowed to go on your first few attempts, this will help you see the way and allow you to play the map more precise. A must have for the platformer enthusiast!. Nothing has made me more mad but love it just as much with its poor grammer is so funny but the elements that make it feel like flappy bird. honeslty if you want a game that will make you rage and have a good laugh with its this game.. A black and white platformer with smooth fps and nice artwork. Reminiscent of Ninja Gaiden, in the way of a tough platformer. Have only played a little, but can tell I'll already enjoy the challenge. They're making a "ha-ha remember how bad translation was in the 80's joke" with the narration and dialogue but it comes off a little strange. Other than that a solid game, worth the price of admission.
