Pretty fun, but my cursor keep going off the screen whenever I try to slice the enemies that are too close to the border. The arrows are a bit small to pick too, but nothing too impeding :P

When the mouse goes off-screen when you're dragging, it just bugs out the whole game. Like, my drag doesn't work. The scrolling with A & D is slow and everything's too zoomed in. Only played it to get the badge and I can surely say I'll never play this ever again. What an easily missed bug that's so essential to the overall playability of the game...So disappointed.

Click on "Cinematic Mode" on the top left of the game screen to enlarge the screen, which helps with the "cursor went out of game screen and therefore slash did not happen" problem. It doesn't get rid of the problem completely but at least it helps a little.

The one problem is when there is an enemy hiding near the edge of the screen. When I try to hit him I move the mouse off the screen, which causes the slash not to respond. Then I get hit a few dozen times by the guys I could have killed...

The game is pretty awesome, especially considering it was made ten years ago. The movement is kinda slow but I don't mind that, it helps give a feeling of calmness and precise slashes.
The only thing I disliked was that the slash control gets unresponsive half of the time. It is very annoying when there are archers in the corner.

movement in the game sux, you have to do a little slash to move about. My biggest problem is when a slash goes off the edge of the game screen it doesn't count when I release and I draw a line all over the screen until I click again

Unfortunately, moving the mouse out of the screen results in your attack being canceled (with the line just sitting there). Makes the game rather hard to play. I don't think it was always this way...?

Could there be upgrades of the character? He's moving at the same pace as Dr Nefario. I know ninjas are silent, but they aren't t-h-i-s s-l-o-w.

Somehow glitched the final battle...can't deal damage or receive damage...guys just keeps trying to hit me.
Overall the game is interesting concept, but the controls aren't very practical.

Second worse game controls I've ever experienced.
For the curious, the worse being a Brøderbund U-Force - hard to beat that, but this game comes close.

The controls with the arrow are brutally bad. Have no idea why how to avoid getting stabbed when they are coming at you, even though I'm slashing, still getting hit. And the inability to move without clicking (so the click is the slash AND the move) is a huge miss. Interesting concept, but missing some critical finishing touches. 3/5

Created Covid-19:
Symptoms: Fever, Fatigue, Coughing, Pulmonary Edema
Resistance: Moisture I, Cold I
Starting Place: China
Managed to infected 2/3 of the population(Including Japan, US, Australia) and immunity to vaccines, yet 0 deaths. Think the game needs an update on lethality.

I beat the game and got all the badges...But I still wouldn't be able to tell you how I was able to defeat all those shield guys.

Missed many hits because of lag or the mouse going out of the game window... But had many fun playing and doing ninja yells at each slash x)

I watched a video on yt about how to defeat this boss. This was a bad video; it was much eassier with bigger lines...

To win last level, pause by pressing space, then adjust the screen. Then quickly unpause and slash him. Do this 3 times.

And another cutting game for the BotD. Barb the Slice of Pie, this week's Kongpanion, is really being walloped this week.

kinda bad if the strategy section stats when you don't want. what if you rushed the gate and didn't get all the boxes?
Plus, if you get in on the turn the gate closes, it's weird

Hey as others said, don't draw outside the game, but also another tip: Instead of clicking to move, attack to move, the samurai will run quickly towards the attack you draw, so use that :)

If the mouse pointer leaves the game screen area while drawing the samurai won't react, just stand there getting murdered. This is a game breaking level bug.

Just brutal. Clicking off the screen doesn't work and screen scrolling is slow. I'm at the edge of the screen and can't do anything but take damage. This makes the game unplayable. 1/5

So you can only recover health if you choose to add +10 Hit Points and you can only find them in like 5 chests in the starting area? Ok, that seems perfectly alright, I didn't want to heal or anything.

Like the game especially since it was cutting edge for it's time. Sadly I suck at bows and can't get the other bowmen out of the tower.

Ok how can you not hate this game? Controls do not respond half of the times, the scroller thing just makes all harder than it should be and the final boss jumps on purpose out of the view. One of the worst game i've played!
