    I believe in making timeless games that people will play and remember. This game is made from my memories of playing Okami and Onimusha.
    Please enjoy the trailer for SumiKen, which will be released in a week on iOS App Store for $1.99! I will be posting some promo codes on TouchArcade this weekend. I hope you guys are as excited as I am!

    I really like this artstyle, but endless slasher/runner/etc just isn't my cup of tea anymore.
    Fingers crossed you can make something with the same style but more substance (story, etc) at some point.

    Thanks man! Yup, I agree, that genre is really oversaturated. My initial plan is just to make a game that I could finish and publish it, so the scope can't be too big for now unfortunately. But I did add missions in this game so player would have goals to complete, hope it adds to the game (I hope...)

    Anyway, I do want to make game with deeper content in the future, probably after this game is completed. Will keep you updated :)

    Hey guys, I am trying to come up with a new icon that represent the game better and I need some help picking out which works the best. Let me know what you all think.

    I really like number 2 and 4 out of both sets.
    Two is more of an icon or logo and is very sleek.
    Number four actually shows the logo plus the samurai so you know it involves a samurai by looking at the logo.

    The game is coming along very very well.
    I think the upgrades and character unlocks are the best thing besides the addictive gameplay but it's the upgrades and unlocks that keep bringing me back because I want to obtain them all.
    I think you could add other things like more unlockables wether it's cosmetic like different color outfits for each character , weapons they carry or different backgrounds to give us more stuff to unlock therefor keeping us playin even longer .
    I love the game and can't wait to see more from you

    Here's how the gameplay looks like with some quick slashing action, moving on to draw all the character animation now

    looks awesome! any upgrades / unlockables / different characters? maybe different color palettes?

    Two suggestions i could make, if possible add ink blood splashes, and careful not to make the jump feel "floaty".

    Hi ramzarules, sorry for the late reply, really busy these days. Yeah, there will be upgrades and different characters which will be unlocked as you finish missions and level up. And I'll take note of the suggestions you mentioned. Thanks!

    The wandering samurai is called Sumi, it means Japanese ink!

    Looks really good now, very polished with depth, I like it more and more. The blood ink is a good idea, but it doesn't have to be red, just a tiny splash when getting high combos or special move (if any). One special move could be a drop of water on ennemy which will dissolve them ^^ By the way if you like music check this video clip of Wang Lee Hom and Khalil Fong, it's all in ink style just like your game, you might like it: https://youtu.be/T6xFyigWDqI
