Some changes have been made to the game after the trailer. The most prominent of all is the jump sound, which on the trailer is very annoying indeed.

i also own this on xbox live and i agree with the person below me's review.
Haruneko you SHOULD reply to what they had to say

I bought Akane the Kunoichi on Xbox LIVE earlier after trying the demo, and thoroughly enjoyed it at first. It's cute, refreshing and easygoing.
Then from the Northern Mountains onward it turned into a rage game and ruined everything I had been enjoying so much, to the point where 5-2 is just unbeatable. I mean, enemies positioned to shoot you while you're stuck on a slippery rock? Spikes you can barely avoid (and one that cannot be avoided in 5-2)? Swarms of enemies descending where you have no room to move at all?

What happened to what was shaping up to be a fun little game? Where did all that horrible level design come from?

This game seriously needs an update to remove that horrifically unbalanced nonsense and rage-inducing gameplay, and fast. It's a terrible waste of what was, for the first half, a spectacular game I would've paid more for. Now, though, I really don't recommend it.

I don't understand why this is showing here in "Greenlit" I already own and have played this game on steam?

Grats on being Greenlit!

Looks cool, reminds me of Shinobi on the Mega Drive.

Couple of small feedback things:

- The booby title art is eye-rolling on an otherwise promising game
- Looks like it needs faster running and jumping speed - she's a ninja!
