      Fast and smooth gameplay with an unexpected amazing soundtrack. Some mechanics are not explained to you and then a level comes along forcing you to learn it real fast. Level 6: Traps is a perfect example of this. The first part of the level you must jump between falling rocks. You have to learn AND master double jumps or you are SOL. The last level wants you to jump from pipe to pipe. You are never really taught this, but are expected to master it or die.

            @meleu Oof, those are more difficult.

            How are you supposed to beat the first sub boss with no shurikins or ninjitsu or jumping or taking damage?

            Now I'll edit the main post later, but the new achievements don't change what the challenge is. The challenge is still beat the game with no continues. Did you fix that achievement?

              @lilbud said in July Game of the Month: Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master:

              How are you supposed to beat the first sub boss with no shurikins or ninjitsu or jumping or taking damage?

              It's a kind of riddle. Once you realize how to do it, you'll see that it's not hard. ;-)

              The challenge is still beat the game with no continues. Did you fix that achievement?

              I changed the logic and I think it's fixed now. But tbh I didn't find enough free time to get it by myself.

                    @lilbud who developed new cheevos for this GotM has the right to suggest a game for the next month? 😇

                      @meleu I guess that counts. This hasn't happened before. But I guess I can make an exception.

                      But don't think making cheevos for the game if the month exempts you from playing the game and getting the challenge. :)

                        @lilbud alright, alright... I don't wanna a different treatment, then here is my ticket to suggest the next Game of the Month:

                        By the way, this video helped me for the final boss confrontation:

                          @meleu You wanna throw a game in for August?

                          Cause it seems like me and you were the only ones to complete the challenge, so there would be no point in a poll.

                            @lilbud hmmm... I would like to try a Master System game. Maybe Castle Of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse, what do you think?

                            Never played it, but it seems to be a nice platformer and with nice graphics for an 8bit system.

                            What also makes me take an interest in this game is the fact that the achievement set was made by one of the most talented achievement developer I know: Alena. I'm sure her cheevos won't be as buggy as some of those we found on some previous rounds of GotM.

                              @meleu Sure, why not. I played the remake earlier the year and really loved it.

                              I was going to pick Pulseman on the mega drive, but I guess Mickey mouse is better.
