Draw Rainbow Ninja

Draw Rainbow Ninja hands you a line instead of a joystick. Enemies stand scattered around the screen, your ninja waits at one edge, and everything depends on the shape you trace between them. Let go of the line and he follows it exactly, cutting anything that happens to be on the path.

That turns each level into a moment of planning rather than reaction. A straight dash takes out the two enemies in front and strands you next to a third; a wide loop that doubles back can clear the lot in one run. The drawing itself is loose and cartoonish, but the levels quietly get stingier with the room they give your line.

How to play

Look at where the enemies are before you touch anything, because the line you draw is the only move you get. Hold the button down and trace a path across the screen, then release it to send your ninja running along exactly what you drew. Anyone the path passes through goes down. Curves and loops are allowed, so a route that bends back on itself will often reach enemies a straight line cannot.

Controls

On desktop, hold the mouse button and drag to draw the trajectory, then release to send the ninja along it. On a phone or tablet, press the screen and trace the same path with your finger, lifting it to launch.
