Tanuki Justice

Gave one go at the game, like 5 minutes, reached level 3 without continues. Instant reminds me of the Ninja-Kun games. Unless this game does something really stupid later on, I'm already in love with it. I know it's short (the trophy screen kinda gives this in), people say you can beat it in 15 minutes... but that's what I want from gaming nowadays. Short games I have to master. 15 minutes of well crafted level design and tight mechanics. Level design is really very, very good, with enemy attacking from angles and positions that requires skill and are fun to deal with (I didn't face anything that felt unfair or frustrating). Music is really good. My only complain is the "Lock run" feature which is on the same button as "Lock in position", so sometimes you want to lock in position but if you are not standing still before you press the button you end up running while you wanted to stand still (Something I see more people have criticized). Not a big deal, and just something you need to be careful of. Overall, if you are fan of arcade games (Or, say, NES alike platform games) this is a no-brainer....

great run ' n gun action, can get quite tough and unrelenting, especially on insane. highly recommend you try hard first even if you're experienced, it's still challenging. features aim locking and free aim which is always nice, though the implementation of the latter is very different from most games in the genre. in this game, free aiming is called "lock move", it allows you to continue moving in your current direction while aiming freely. if you're standing still, it functions as standard free aim. while this is cool, i wish there was a dedicated button for free aim while standing still, as you can very easily get yourself killed by trying to free aim while you're still moving. as with most games in the genre, slowly inching forward is a big issue and unfortunately the time limit is too lenient to combat this very powerful strategy, would be nice to see this fixed. some accessibility options like autofire and practice mode would've been nice, and please allow for binding actions to triggers on controllers.

Tanuki Justice is a hair-raising fast-paced, run & gun plat-former that follows in the style of difficult plat-former's on the NES such as Contra, Ninja Gaiden, and Mega-Man but in the vain of 90's gaming mascots such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Rocket Knight. Play alone or together as 2 tanuki ninjas who are on a quest to save feudal japan from the evil Emperor. However, the journey to stopping him ain't gonna be easy. Much like the games that inspired it, this game is a lot of fun with its fast-paced & challenging game-play that will keep you on your paws, colorful 8-bit graphics, and a catchy NES inspired soundtrack. The game is also pretty short and it won't take long to beat it, if your a pro. As mentioned earlier, this game is viciously hard and it requires precise timing, skill, and strategy to make it through. However similar to an arcade game, the game does have unlimited continues that lets you retry as much as you want until you give up. But you start at the beginning of the level your at, thus making the game unforgiving. But it feels very rewarding upon completing each level and satisfied at the end (if your lucky). If you looking for a hard punishing game or one featuring cute & cuddly raccoon dogs as playable protagonists. Then this game is a must play for you. Just be sure not to break your keyboard nor your controller as this game is pretty mean.

You can tell exactly what kind of game this is just by watching the trailer. Nothing changes mechanically at any point throughout the game. The game is short (6 stages plus a final boss "stage") and is geared towards replaying the stages to get a higher score or to conquer a higher difficulty setting. In terms of difficulty, I completed the game on Normal (the easiest setting). There are two higher levels of difficulty available from there, and I have no desire to touch them because Normal was challenging enough for me. The game is meant to be very challenging and is clearly designed with players who want to be pushed to their absolute limits in mind. If you watch the trailer and think "that looks fun, and I hope it's hard!" then this is the game for you. If you don't want both of those things, this is not the game for you. Other minor thoughts: Virtually no loading times A couple of catchy stage songs Variety of environments throughout I played with a DualSense, and the controls are good other than the "lock in place" button also locks you into moving if you push it while moving, which is not useful at all and can lead to unintentional deaths. Movement is responsive as you would expect it to be. Good game but I'm glad I only paid $3 because I got 98 minutes out of it and while I generally enjoyed my time with it (aside from some frustrations about my own badness), I don't think I'll touch it again. People who like to replay games (and who are good enough to touch the higher difficulty modes) will probably get more mileage out of this than I did.

Such a simple and fun run'n'gun! Can be quite tricky sometimes but it is very very enjoyable as an arcade game to come back to several times. Really liked it for how simple and effective it is.

very fun arcade style game. Cool characters, varied and colorful backgrounds. A good level design and intuitive controls. The music is nice!

One of the most thrilling action platformers I've ever played. Very tight level design on Hard mode.

yes

Won't launch :(

Bom run'gun inspirado em Shinobi e nos jogos com mascotes dos anos 80 e 90. Os gráficos e sons lembram alguns jogos do Master System, o que não é muito comum nesses jogos novos com cara de retro. Curtinho (Seis fases e o chefe final), numa dificuldade acessível para quem quiser terminar e bem elevada para quem quiser platinar. Bem gostoso, recomendo. Tem algumas partes que exigem muita memorização, é questão de ir praticando e ir aprendendo os atalhos. Em promoção fica a R$ 5, uma pechincha.
