I like your interpretation of the theme: 'being discovered'. hehe.
Overall, quite fun. I liked the ending!
The shurikens never really felt like they were worth it, since it took three hits to kill someone, and they have a long cooldown.
Very good game and efficient :) The theme is not obvious here, thought.
By the way, when making a WASD control, please about foreign keyboards (AZERTY) and also allow arrows as controls :)
A neat little game!
Almost too many functions to simply play. I loved the ending ;)
Small but pretty complete game. Could have used in-game instructions, since I didn't even know that I could run or throw shirukens until after I closed the game and saw the RTF. Would have preferred to be able to use arrow keys, especially when running, since otherwise all the controls are on one hand. I ended up mostly dodging bullets because I am too impatient for stealth. :) Cute ending!
That was fun and adorable and a great exploration of a new concept. (I've never seen teleportation in a stealth game before, and you managed to make it fairly balanced)
Nice looking game and concept. I found it a little frusterating that enemies could both see and shoot through what otherwise looked like walls. It would also be interesting to see the space/area that the enemies can detect you in. Overall nice work!

Impressive! Polished, fun to play and not too easy. Ending made me chuckle. I like it!
If I had to mention a negative I'd say that it doesn't have a lot to do with the theme...
