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).
