"Nine Lives Ninja: Explore!" is a platformer with a cute ninja cat. You find artifacts that help with improving your jump (double jump, destroy items, etc) and try to reach the end. The game is one of those rare examples that managed to turn a negative review to a positive one! The developer listened to player feedback and made impactful changes!
The price droped, fixes were made and new features and levels were added.
Our cat is really cute and looks alive now! And he makes the adorable "meow" that cannot be missing from a cat game!
The animations have been fixed, the modes and overall gameplay are now easy to understand and enjoy. It turned from a mess to a fine small indie game to have fun for a few hours!
Although the jump was never an issue, it is something I never mentioned in my original review. It's [b]very[/b] precise! So much so, that I still wonder how initially the dev managed to make only this right... Such an accurate jump is usually the Achilles' heel of platformers!
There are many more small fixes that were made but what matters is that now is at a very good and stable state! Try it out! Help our ninja cat in the search for the Fountain of Kitty Youth! ^^
Collect gems, find new powers to progress, figure out the mystery of the Fountain and the nine cat lives, and help the cutest cat become strong enough to restore his lives! Various mechanics, cool powers and amazingly precise and tight controls await you! Your fate is in YOUR hands! No button or mechanic will make you lose; if you die, it's on you!

Original negative review:
[strike]"Nine Lives Ninja: Explore!" is a platformer with a cute ninja cat. You find artifacts that help with improving your jump (double jump, destroy items, etc) and try to reach the end. The game is quite short and somewhat confusing. You have many different modes that don't really have a clear purpose and most aren't fun. The cat animation looks a bit stiff.
It needs various fixes and additions such as better explanations, more animations, more use of color and better platform design, and more. Right now, it's a bit all over the place but, above all, it misses the most basic game purpose; it's not fun. Nothing makes you laugh, nothing makes you wanting to see what will happen, no compelling story and a stiff cat that doesn't meow.
With some improvements and a price drop, I can see it as a complete small indie game.
