About Shadow Ninja
Shadow Ninja is a fast auto-running platformer starring a nimble ninja sprinting across a tropical island. He runs on his own — your only job is timing the jumps: over the gaps between sea platforms, and over the red TNT crates that kill on contact. Coins hang in arcs along the route, and your coin haul is essentially your score (10 coins meant 10 points in testing). A distance counter tracks your run in meters, a timer counts up, and three lives sit top-left. Fall in a gap or kiss a TNT box and it's GAME OVER — but your best score is saved, daring you to beat 730.

Jump timing and coin collection tips
Jump early on wide gaps
the ninja never slows down, so a late tap means falling short into the sea.
Respect the red boxes
TNT crates kill instantly on contact; always jump them, never try to squeeze past.
Follow the coin arcs
coins are laid out along the jump trajectory, so the money trail shows you exactly where to leap.
Look ahead, not at the ninja
speed is constant, so watch the next gap or TNT crate coming instead of staring at your character.
