Fling a neon ninja back and forth between two walls, climbing higher and higher while spikes and hazards try to end you. One tap to jump. How far up can you get before something wipes you out?
About Shadow Leap
Shadow Leap is a vertical climber with a mean streak. Your neon ninja clings to one wall, sliding slowly downward, and the only way up is to fling yourself across the gap to the wall opposite. Tap, and you're airborne. The catch is that spikes and moving hazards keep scrolling into view, so every leap is really a quick read: is my landing spot clear, or am I about to hug a row of spikes? One tap sends you flying. One mistake ends the run.
The tension lives in the pauses. You'll learn to sit patiently on a wall, watching a spike creep past your target before you commit, then hop the instant the coast is clear. Frantic tapping gets you killed fast; short, controlled jumps and good timing carry you high. Left and right nudge your aim when you need to thread a tight gap.
It's a one-handed, one-more-try kind of game, easy to start and stubbornly hard to master. Great for anyone who loves tense arcade climbers and chasing a personal best that always feels one leap away.

How to play Shadow Leap
Your ninja sticks to a wall and slowly slides down, so you have to keep leaping across to the opposite wall to keep climbing. Before you jump, read the walls and the gap for spikes and moving hazards, then time it so you land somewhere safe. Higher means a higher score. A single hit, or one fall, ends the run.
Controls
Tap, click or press Space to leap to the other wall. Left/Right (or A/D) aim the leap direction. Fully playable one-handed on mobile.
