## What is Shinobi Kyoto Run?

Race through lantern-lit Kyoto at night as a ninja in this 3D endless runner.
Swipe to turn, jump and slide, and cut down the yokai that block your path with katana and shuriken. How far can you run?

■ Swipe-only controls
・Swipe left / right — take corners and switch lanes
・Swipe up — jump over gaps and sword racks
・Swipe down — slide under low torii gates
A short "How to play" screen appears the first time you play.

■ Slash your way forward
Katana and shuriken come in 8 elements: fire, water, flower, wind, thunder, light, ice and red lightning. Every weapon you pick up adds to your attack power — reach the power a yokai demands and you slice right through. When you find a weapon, choose between a free one or a stronger one bought with in-game coins. Keep running and bosses such as Hannya and Tengu will be waiting.

■ A changing Kyoto
From the opening where the Rashomon gate rises, run through moonlit machiya streets, across rooftops, indoors, and into a sakura shrine at dawn — classic Japanese scenery in 3D.

■ 15 seconds to revive
After a game over you have 15 seconds to revive. You get one free revive per run; after that, use a Migawari Charm. Charms can occasionally be found while running, or bought as an in-app purchase (pack of 3).

■ No ads
No ads appear during play. No account needed, and you can play offline. The developer does not collect personal data.

■ Game Center leaderboard
Send your distance to the Game Center leaderboard and see your personal best and global rank (requires Game Center sign-in).

In-app purchase:
・Migawari Charm ×3 (consumable)
