when you want to be a ninja but dont have time to be fancy
===2025-1024 嗯....輕鬆小品還行,要習慣他的三角跳跟上、下牆邊的操作。 遊戲的概念還不錯,但遊戲性就還好,就跑跑跳跳。 喜歡任天堂超級瑪莉1代的那種跳跳樂的人應該會喜歡? 喜歡躲陷阱、喜歡考驗反應的就推。
2 games in one hell yea and groovy soundtracks this is the goodest $1 you can spend

I'm a big fan of NES games in general, and this feels just like a tighter NES game. The platforming is clean, controls are very tight, music is great and I love the artstyle. I can't fault this other than it's a little short - I would have loved more or a randomizer maybe. Something to make me squeeze more out of this game because as of writing this, it took me 1.3 hours to beat the game, going back to a couple stages to get the "less than 10 deaths" achievements.
não sou bom de dar opinião, então falarei pouco. O jogo é divertido e passa uma vibe relaxante e de jogo retrô 8 bits (me senti jogando ninja gaiden). A música lo-fi também é ótima. O que ficou um pouco a desejar foi a história, porque não é fácil saber quem é que fala cada fala e não entendi muito da história também. Fora isso, a gameplay é muito divertida (mas a última fase é um inferno pra pegar conquista e eu só fiz isso porque sou louco mesmo kskskskks) envolvendo muito plataformas e parkour de maneiras criativas e também tem os inimigos que são simples de matar mas gosto da variedade (os(as) inimigos(as) de kusarigama [foice com corrente] atacam da maneira certa: jogando a bola pesada à distância por exemplo e os(as) inimigos(as) que jogam shuriken podem jogar por baixo ou por cima, eu gostei muito desses detalhes). acho que acabei detalhando demais pra alguém que diz não saber dar opinião ksksksk, mas dou um 9/10 pro jogo e tô curioso pra jogar outros jogos da criadora... quando minha preguiça não me derrubar ksksksk
good difficulty make no. 2
I’ve never posted a review before in all of my time on Steam, but I felt compelled to write this one. Don’t be fooled by the mediocre rating this game has! It used to be a VERY different (and much worse) game called Jump/Boxer. Ever since it got overhauled into iaidoka_interlude, it has recieved very little but positive feedback. I loved this game, and I am here to help give it the positive rating it deserves. As a long-time fan of platformers, I highly reccomend playing this one. It’s simple, but the level layouts are clever and satisfying. The controls are tight, and have a surprising amount of nuance to discover. Jumping onto a wall and then wall jumping *upwards* to reach a ledge felt surprisingly refreshing for a platformer, and the game is short enough and it’s used in enough unique ways that it doesn’t get tiring. You never lose too much progress when you die, since you only have to start from the beginning of the screen you’re on. However, if you want all of the achievements, you will need to beat each of the levels in under 10 deaths, which I found to be the perfect balance of adding stakes and encouraging mastery without causing much frustration. Overall, this game offers satisfying platforming and decent combat encounters with deliciously well balanced difficulty, alongside some chill music. One thing I will warn you about; the ending is very disappointing. Also be warned that holding “down” to crouch near a ledge will cause you to hang onto it when you don’t want to, and if you’re not prepared, continuing to hold “down” will cause you to drop from the ledge, losing you progress. This game also has old-school Castlevania style jumping, which is an essential part of what makes this game work, and makes the game that much more satisfying to master imo, though some players might find it uncomfortable. For those who are curious, you can still play Jump/Boxer by going into the game’s properties in Steam and enabling it in the betas tab. It’s not terrible imo, but it does have serious problems. Yes, you essentially get an extra game for free. It took me an hour to finish the game, another hour to get all the achievements, and 30 minutes of Jump/Boxer. The rest of my Steam playtime comes from replaying levels. This is definitely one I’m coming back to now and then.
Short, simple and surprisingly fun. I wasn't hoping for much considering how cheap iaidoka is, but it is well worth the price. It's just important to have the right expectations before you play; if you're looking for a traditional platformer with fighting elements, this isn't it. It's moreso about timing and figuring out the pattern of each level.
+/- Difficulté à s'arracher les cheveux - Prise en main rigide et pas très intuitive - Visuel peu varié - La fin... 5/10 Pas indispensable
Доволі коротка і механічно проста, але дуже цікава і продумана гра. Всім рекомендую хоча б спробувати вибити всі досягнення
