Sumi Run: Ninja Shadow Runner

Sumi Run is a one-tap ninja endless runner. The sun is the enemy - lampposts, benches, parked cars, torii gates, a skyline of towers all throw a shadow, and that shadow is the only ground that will hold you. Touch the sunlit ground between shadows and the run ends, right there. Tap to jump. Hold the tap and you jump higher; high enough to clear gaps a short tap can't reach. That's the whole control scheme. No swipes, no buttons, nothing else to learn. Eight beautiful worlds drift past as the distance climbs, crossfading into each other every thirty seconds or so; the way an afternoon quietly becomes evening: - Golden Hour - Dusk - Twilight - Midnight - Night Street - Dawn - Sunrise - Noon Catch a star mid-run and the ninja dissolves into a curl of ink smoke, flashes forward several rooftops, and rematerializes in a burst of sunlight — shunshin, a real ninjutsu technique, redrawn for one finger. Every run ends with a card, not a scoreboard: a glyph of the exact path you ran, a five-point read on how you played (Daring, Flow, Air, Rhythm, Distance), and a persona pinned to it: - The Wanderer - The Crane - The Daredevil - The Ferryman - The Drummer - The Pilgrim Six ways to run this game, and you won't know which one you are until it's over. Save it, send it to whoever you want to out-run next, or just close the app; either way, it's already yours. Five original scores — EDM, Hip-Hop, K-Pop, Oriental, Indian — or a procedural ambient pad if you'd rather run quiet. Music and sound effects sit on separate sliders, so turning one down never costs you the other. - No sign-in - No account - No ads following you into other apps - No analytics phoning home Your best run lives on your phone and nowhere else. It's a casual arcade game built for reflex, not strategy; pick it up cold, understand it in four seconds, and play it for five minutes at the bus stop or an hour with the lights off. No tutorial. No menu before the run starts. Tap. Run. Stay out of the light.
