Unroll the scroll. Walk the ink. Swipe up to step through a hand-painted Korean ink scroll while a flood of ink creeps down from above. Swipe too fast and you trip. Too slow and the ink swallows you. Find the rhythm. HOW TO PLAY • Swipe up to walk, swipe down to step back • Push too hard and you stumble, so keep an eye on the speed gauge • Graze hazards for "Close!" combos and big points • Grab coins to unlock new walkers and paper FOUR SEASONS The season changes every 500 ft, and so do the hazards: • Spring: seal stamps, brush strokes and ink snakes • Summer: ink rain and puddles • Autumn: gusts that shove you along • Winter: ice that will not let you stop FOUR FOLKLORE BOSSES Every 1,000 ft a legend blocks the road, each with its own rule: • Tiger, straight out of Korean magpie-and-tiger paintings: it is right behind you. Keep walking. • Totem (jangseung), the village guardian: freeze when it turns to look. Red light, green light! • Nine-Tail Fox (gumiho): back off when the foxfire flies • Imugi, the serpent that never became a dragon: slip through the gaps in its coils Every lap, they get meaner. DAILY SCROLL • The same map for every player in the world • One ranked attempt per day, unlimited practice after that • Earn coins for every daily ranked run, plus a bonus for a 7-day streak • A new scroll unrolls every day at 00:00 UTC LEADERBOARDS • Game Center all-time, weekly and daily boards • Sign-in is optional.

The rhythm shifts with every season, and a heartbeat quickens as the ink closes in. Haptics included. FAIR PLAY • Free to play: every mode and every boss is included • Between-run ads appear at most once every 3 runs, at least 2 minutes apart, and never in your first session • Revive by watching an ad or spending coins you earned (once per run) • Double-coin ads are always optional • Remove Ads turns off between-run ads for good, and gives you revives and double coins with no ads • Coin Doubler permanently doubles the coins from every run • Every walker and paper except the Dokkaebi Pack can be bought with coins you earn in play • Your daily ranked attempt can never be bought Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
