Shadow Ninja: Ink Graze

Don't dodge — graze.

Shadow Ninja: Ink Graze is a one-hand ink-wash dodge-action roguelike. This isn't a game about avoiding the blades raining down on you — it's a game about brushing past them on purpose. The closer a blade passes to your heart, the faster your score multiplier and ink gauge climb. Play it safe and hang back, and the gauge stalls while the stage only grows faster. You'll die with empty hands. The only way to survive is to dance on the edge of death.

Fill the ink gauge and Ink Overdrive opens: the world slows to a crawl and points pour in double for a few glorious seconds. Then, at every gate, a choice arrives. Bank the score you've earned and keep it forever — or risk all of it and drop into a deeper, deadlier stage. Fall, and every un-banked point is gone. That single decision is the heartbeat of every run.

Every floor you clear earns a Brave grade (S·A·B·C); the braver you play, the rarer the arts you're offered. Draft one of three arts at every gate to shape your own build — widen your graze ring, slow the blades, or shrink your hitbox for an explosive high-risk run. No two runs play the same.

◆ Graze scoring — the closer the call, the bigger the multiplier
◆ Ink Overdrive — fill the gauge for a double-points slow-mo window
◆ Bank vs Push at every gate, plus a 1-of-3 arts draft
◆ Shuriken, kunai, sickles, crescent moons — blade storms that shift every gate
◆ 18 hand-inked stages, from a bamboo forest to a chaos dimension, each with its own palette
◆ Summon and collect eight shadow ninjas — a phoenix that revives you, a thunder that burns blades away, an asura that never falters
◆ Daily missions and login rewards to earn shards and summon new ninjas
◆ Sumi-e ink art, short and sharp runs, one-hand play
◆ Permadeath roguelike you can play offline — fall once, start fresh

Rewarded ads (revive, arts rerolls) are always optional. Skip every one and you still get the whole game.

One graze is your score. One slip is your death. Step into the ink storm.
