Ronin Rise

The demon Oni has taken Princess Hana to his castle above the clouds. You are a ronin, a samurai without a master. There is only one way to go: UP. Ronin Rise is a hand-crafted pixel-art climbing game in the spirit of the hardest platformers. Pull back, aim and release. Every jump is a decision, and one bad jump can send you falling hundreds of meters. • 6 ZONES, 3,600 METERS Bamboo forest, a mountain village, a sakura forest, castle walls, a frozen peak and the Oni's castle in the storm. • NEW SKILLS ALONG THE WAY Double jump with slow motion, wind gusts that push you off course, a kunai to cling to wooden walls, slippery ice. • EVERY FALL IS REMEMBERED Your falls stay on the mountain as little ghosts. At the end, each one becomes a paper lantern rising into the dawn. • A STORY TOLD WITHOUT WORDS Stone Jizo statues share what they learned. A full intro and ending scene, and a princess who is far from helpless. • JAPANESE CHIPTUNE SOUNDTRACK Shakuhachi flute, koto, shamisen, temple bells and taiko drums, with its own music for every zone. • FAIR AND FREE No ads. No accounts. No data collected. Your progress is saved on your device. If you enjoy the climb, you can support the developer with an optional tip and your ronin gets a golden hat. Controls: touch – pull back, aim, release. In the air, pull again for a double jump.
