    yeah this game can be pretty brutal, I'd probably change it to another game when near a young child...
    Maybe not as brutal as Optical Inquisitor - lol

    Great game. I'm really enjoying this, short one - two minute levels that involve running jumping dodging and attacking. Videos show exactly what you're getting. However I've finished part one in less than half hour :( I hope there is more coming to this game? Maybe user level editor and user levels?

    Kind of a strange thing to get all frothy about, but I guess everybody has a trigger word. Looks like yours is: "File Size."


    FILE SIZE!!

    I'm sure if the game is well received and sells ok then Dead Mage will add more to it.

    The hardcore levels are where the real fun is guys. Those are really difficult and require good skill but still manage to be passable

    Yeah I figured it was too early to ask but I'm really wondering about updates as well... 40 levels isn't very much. Also, considering how most devs are more about working on new games than updating older ones lately I'd like to know if there are any plans.

    What does the joker say when he like moves his hand then something blows up in the pack then he laughs? I can't remember the scene. Oh I remember!

    "And here.. we.. go!"

    Level 3 and this game is fantastic. Swipe controls are iffy, but the virtual buttons are responsive. Gameplay is fast and fluid, with satisfying blood spray and great animations. Less of a stealth game, more of a fast paced platformer with some light stealth mechanics. Clearing a level in one smooth attempt feels so good. Would definitely recommend Shadow Blade for any fan of platformers

    Edit: only thing I'd like is for the camera to zoom in when you kill an enemy so we could get a nice view of the blood and animations.

    thanks! I tend to agree - I like the virtual controls better. However, the swipe controls do grow on you (after awhile)

    This brings back fond memories of Shinobi 3 on the Genesis.

    Looks dope. But all the videos I've seen show enemies getting mowed down before they have a chance to fight. Hopefully it gets more difficult. Can anyone attest to this?
