What is Lineguard?
Lineguard is a drawing game about protecting someone who never stops. A small ink ninja runs across a painted world on his own. You can't steer him, jump for him or slow him down. All you can do is draw.
Every line you draw is solid for a few seconds. Put one in front of an arrow and it stops. Angle it right and the arrow flies back at the archer who fired it. Draw under his feet and he runs across it, over thorns and pits. Draw a ramp and he launches into a somersault. Then the line fades, and the next thing is already coming.
You only carry a few drops of ink at a time, and each drop is one line, so every stroke counts. Time slows while your pen is down, which gives you just enough room to think.
Three ways to play
Run
He runs on his own through eight worlds. Draw lines to block arrows, bridge thorns and leap pits, and see how far you get.
Fight
Put the pen down and fight waves of enemies hand to hand: tap high, mid or low, chain combos and finish with an ultimate.
Duel
Fight another player's ninja online, best of three, or practise against a bot any time.
What's inside
Five inks
Pen, rubber that bounces, steel that shatters rocks, fire that burns arrows, and ice he skates on.
Nine bosses
From a giant archer and a catapult to a fire monk, a pirate ship, a samurai lord and a cave spider, each beaten a different way.
Eight worlds
From Bamboo Valley and the Red Desert to Ember Volcano, Storm Coast, Temple Rooftops and the Mist Caves, each with its own dangers and music.
Leaderboards
Post your best run and your best fight, for today and for all time.
Fight
Put the pen down and fight: tap high, mid or low, chain combos and a tornado kick, and hold out wave after wave.
Relaxed pace
A calmer run whenever you want one: a gentler pace, more room between hazards and longer lines. One switch in Settings.
Duel
Fight another player's ninja online, best of three, wearing your own outfit and using the moves you've learned. Or practise against a bot any time.
