Shadow Ninja
Shadow Ninja is a stealth-action survival game with the most honest difficulty setting on the site: the tiers move you and the guards in opposite directions. Easy gives you a faster ninja and slower guards, Hard gives you a slower ninja and faster guards, and Normal sits between them — so changing tier does not simply speed the game up, it changes who is quicker, which changes whether escaping is even an option. Guards come in waves and the wave counter keeps climbing. Pick a tier to start, and pause any time. Free in the browser with no download and no signup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually changes between the tiers?▾
Your speed and the guards' speed, in opposite directions. Easy is a faster ninja against slower guards; Hard is a slower ninja against faster guards. It changes who can outrun whom, not just the pace.
How do I start a run?▾
Tap the tier you want. Choosing the difficulty is what begins the game.
How does the wave system work?▾
Guards arrive in waves and the counter climbs as you survive, so pressure accumulates across a run.
Can I pause?▾
Yes — the game can be paused and resumed, or quit back to the menu.
Which tier should I start on?▾
Easy, because being faster than the guards teaches you their patterns. On Hard you cannot outrun a mistake, so the patterns have to be known first.
Is Shadow Ninja free?▾
Yes, free in the browser with no download and no signup.
