About

Shadow Jump

Features
Read full description

Two runners. Two worlds. One chance to keep them both alive. Step into Shadow Jump, an endless runner where your attention is split between light and shadow. Guide one runner through a glowing sunset village while the other races upside down below. Obstacles arrive independently in each world, and one missed jump ends the run. Find your rhythm, time each leap, and keep both runners moving as the pace climbs. Witness earthquakes that flip the worlds, light and shadow trade places, and the challenge gets even faster. There’s more to discover with every run: • Meet the giants: Encounter 20 pairs of enormous visitors, from robots and flying fleets to sky whales, phoenixes, and dragons. Discover both members of a pair to unlock their Trophy Room emblem. • Make both runners your own: Mix and match 36 hats and suits. Earn wardrobe points through play to unlock items, or choose optional paid cosmetic sets. Dress each runner separately or give them matching looks. • Choose your controls: Play with left/right touch areas, top/bottom touch areas, or dedicated jump buttons. Jump with either runner independently or both together. • Chase your next record: Beat your personal best, celebrate a new high score, and share your result. • Explore light and shadow: Enjoy richly painted scenery, lively character animation, and a sweeping landscape view. Every obstacle cleared brings another point. Every run is another chance to go farther. How long can you keep both worlds running? Contains ads and optional cosmetic in-app purchases.
