About This Game
Set at the heart of a cataclysmic event in Edo Japan, Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun is an ultrafast Roguelite inspired by Japanese folklore. Unleash the power, speed and soul of the Ninja, using acrobatic jumping to move and attack.
Detailed Description

Celestial doom. This is the fate that awaits humanity. In Edo, Japan, the great cataclysm has been foreseen by a most unlikely soul — a Master Thief. Your mother.
You are a common pickpocket, transformed by the cataclysm into a lethal Ninja with lightning mobility. The Ramen Seller becomes a Samurai. The Maiko becomes a killer Geisha. Your domain of petty crime becomes 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.
JUMP TO MOVE, JUMP TO ATTACK

- No walking, no running – just jumping.
- Eviscerate the enemy by jumping at them.
- Hold to super-charge your jump and attack harder.

ONE WRONG MOVE AND IT’S BACK TO THE START

KEEP GOING, KEEP GOING

- Die fast but try again faster with instant respawn and permanent upgrades.
- Ascend the Infinite Watchtower, run the Infinite Corridor, and don’t stop.
