Double jump works fine, the same way it did in the original, all of the reviewers complaining about it are simply uninformed. Hit jump again at the very peak of your jump - not sightly before or sightly after, it has to be right at the peak. This is Shinobi, not Mario, it's going to take a bit of skill and practice. Eventually it'll just click and you'll be able to double jump every time. Have fun on the log jumping waterfall level, this purposely built mechanic keeps the game challenging :)
I was addicted to this game when I had it on my SEGA Genesis many years ago and as far the graphics and sound, they both match the original verbatim. However the controls are unresponsive to the point of causing my hand to hurt. Very disappointing. I am at work and hopefully when I get home and give my MOGA Pro controller a try it yields better results.
Nice to see Sega invading mobile with the games of the past, but don't you think that the good games of the past need a graphic overhaul in order to compete with current games. I mean 2D wasn't bad in the past, but it is 2019, perhaps it is time make this game in third person view, since being HD is not enough. Third person and perhaps first person view need to be added to all sega games, if you want to win Gameloft as a mobile game developer. You can be better than Gameloft, if you modernize.
Took me about 10 minutes to get through the loading, settings and adds before i could even try the game. The double jump controls are clunky as ****. Not sure if it was like this in the original game but it just doesn't feel right.
NO DOUBLE JUMP!!! Considering it is key to defeat some bosses, makes the game quite poor! And the lack of response of the controls is inexcusable for a game where precision is key to finish it! Just a frustrating experience overall.... Will try again later and edit if they improve those flaws.
Holy cap does this game play bad! I'm playing it on my old s5 Samsung and it feels like it's moving through soft sand. response time is between 1/3 of a second to 1/4 of a second. I play this on a genesis emulator and it's perfect. Sega's own... which I was considering to buy at $3au is no longer a good purchase. I prefer to buy a can of drink instead. it's not about the money... it's a really really S H I T E port! buy a drink... this is an exercise of frustration.
Its still as enjoyable as when i played it in sega genesis. Took awhile to figure out double jump, but once i got it, the rest felt exactly the same. Fantastic port. Kind of miss the tactile feel of a controller.
Was looking forward to playing this. This was my game back in the day. Unfortunately this will not load beyond the main screen. Upon selecting start, it resets back to the opening screen. Disappointed!
Good game which I loved back in the day. However the controls let it down. Double jump seems to randomly work or not work and the movement control is a bit wishy washy.
The controls are kinda fustrating, maybe if the arrows got changed to a circle pad like the Sonic games, it would be easier to deal with. Thanks.
No complaints about the game itself..its jus like the original game but why do i need an internet connection to save my game even though i bought the full version..i cant even play a saved game without internet..my megadrive didnt need internet to save or play my game..whats that about?? Other than that tho a good investment for a classic game
I love this game! But the controls, they need to be fixed! double jump doesn't even work! And that's super annoying! Please fix it ASAP!!
Great for console version not at all for arcade but is very good, complicated as inception but that was the idea about this kind of games I recommend use a Dualpack because only touchscreen the complication is higher
App is complete garbage. Loads to title screen then closes every time. Unplayable
Brilliant retro classic, everything is as it was back in 1990. Do yourself a favour and fork out the 1.99 for the paid. Version, it's a far superior experience.
free game and it's not too bad. lots of ads and you have to sign in with your email and play games account if u want to save your progress though
it's the classic we all love for free. There are ads but it's not unbearable. you even have the option to save your game.
I would probably rate this 5 stars but the game wont load past the opening load screen super disappointed because this was mu favorite game as a child and I want to play it so bad. i lost ne sega genesis in a fire as a kid or I would still be playing on my sega Genesis system. Please fix your game!
Loved this game 1st time round on mega drive. I guess my only issue is the screen controls but it works a treat with the ipega controller.
I don't know why Sega doesn't just do a Sega store app with option to download all the old roms. Maybe put in a monthly subscription for unlimited content. Take back control of your roms like Nintendo are trying to do.
Good, but if it was touchscreen with no controls on screen, and HD, it would be brilliant.
Yes,i love this game,great graphics,getting used to the controls, challenging!
I'm gonna have to give it 3 stars. it could have been 5 if the controls weren't reacting slow. much appreciated if fixed thank you😀
The music is so 🔥. But the controls are confusing can you please fix that
Never got beyond the adverts to try the game...excellent job of making it impossible to play...well done
The Controls were a bit slippery but overall, I found the game to be really fun and nostalgic.
Joka GIMENEZ's review below is totally wrong. There is double jump. This is a straight emulation of the original game and the double jump always been tricky in this title. Needs practice to be performed each time. A shame to read this type of review...everything works, it's just a great game! Tip: for infinite skurikens, go to the options settings inside the game and set shurikens to zero for some seconds. This will turn into the infinite symbol.
