Celestial doom. This is the fate that awaits humanity. In Edo, Japan, the great cataclysm has been foreseen by an unlikely source — a Master Thief. Your mother. You, a common pickpocket, have been transformed by the cataclysm into a lethal Ninja with lightning mobility. The Ramen Seller has become a Samurai. The Maiko has become a killer Geisha. Your domain of petty crime has become a frenzied neon world of shogun castles, magic traps and parachuting assassins. Someone has ensnared you in a loop of chaos… if not to kill you, then to protect you from something worse.

Master violent precision platforming in this fusion of extreme speed and one-button controls that will leave you dead and wanting more. With one button for everything, no walking or running — just jumping — you can eviscerate the enemy by jumping at them. Hold to super-charge your jump and attack harder, and become invincible at the moment of jumping — time it right and dodge even the most brutal attacks. Face hellish bosses and assassins equipped with projectiles, magic and agility, and evade sharp drops, deadly poison and other nasty traps. Ramp up your attack power with combo attacks, but don't get hit.

Customize your playstyle by unlocking new playable warriors like the ranged Geisha and destructive Samurai. Wield kunai, shuriken, spears, stones and other armaments both long-ranged and short. Wear armor and scarves to increase your defense. Get special abilities and boosts by finding strange souls and questionable foods. Use scrolls with effects like earthquake, lightning, and enhanced sight. Build up your Village base. Rescue villagers to repair and upgrade useful buildings including the Blacksmith and Back-alley Doctor.

Blaze through a mix of procedurally generated and hand-crafted levels. Die fast but try again faster with instant respawn and permanent upgrades. Ascend the Infinite Watchtower, run the Infinite Corridor, and don’t stop. Fill your Combat Log and thrash your high scores. Replay the game with new challenges, including a stage randomiser. Immerse yourself in the nostalgic beauty of vibrant Japanese pixel art that brings the crumbling castles, skeletal forests and folklore characters of the Edo Period to life with brutal elegance.
