Description

Shadowman Runner is an endless runner rendered entirely in silhouette. Everything — the runner, the jungle, the obstacles — is black against a lit background, which is both the look and the difficulty.

Running happens by itself. The single input is a jump, so the whole game is when to press it: obstacles, gaps and hazards arrive at a pace that accelerates, and a jump taken slightly early is as bad as one taken late.

Because the shapes are all solid black, reading the ground ahead takes a moment longer than it would in a normal runner. That delay is what turns a simple obstacle into something you can misjudge, and it is why later stretches feel much faster than they are.

Potions along the route add to your score and often sit exactly where a safe run would not take you, which gives the jumps something to be greedy about. Runs end quickly and start again immediately.
