How to play

Shadow Ninja is an original action platformer. Kage, last keeper of the Umbra Order, returns to a mountain province seized by the Warden of Lanterns — a former keeper who binds elemental spirits into eight wardens. Free each territory, absorb that warden's essence, then ascend the Warden's Bastion for the final confrontation.

The eight territories are Circuit (the lantern works), Ember (the foundry), Storm (the sky spires), Stone (the quarry depths), Bloom (the spore forest), Frost (the glacier shrine), Toxin (the sunken bog), Tide (the flooded harbor). Clearing a warden grants its essence: a new technique plus a palette variant of Kage. After all eight essences, the Warden's Bastion opens.

Genre: action platformer. Category: Platformer. Touch is the primary control scheme, with full keyboard parity on desktop and mouse for menus. Score the run by clearing territories, collecting essences, and finishing the Bastion — each essence you keep is progress you carry into the next stage.
