Questions and answers

Playing

Is Lineguard free?

Yes. There's nothing to buy and no account to create. Coins are earned by playing.

What is Run?

The main game. The ninja runs on his own and you draw the lines that keep him alive: walls against arrows, bridges over pits, ramps over thorns. Five inks, nine bosses and eight worlds. How Run works.

What is Fight?

A second way to play. Instead of drawing lines for a runner, you fight waves of enemies yourself: tap one to jump in and hit, draw a path to dash through a crowd. Pick Fight on the start screen. More on the Fight page.

What is Duel?

One on one against another player's ninja, online, best of three. If nobody else is searching, a bot steps in, and a real player can take over when one arrives. See the Duel page.

How do I earn coins?

Collect them on the run, finish missions (40, 90 or 180 coins each), open the daily gift (30 to 200 coins over seven days), beat bosses and win badges. Spend them in the Shop; see what to buy first.

What do ranks do?

Every three finished missions is a new ninja rank, shown as a plate on your headband. Each rank pays coins, and higher ranks open new ultimates. See ranks and missions.

How the game works

Why do my lines disappear?

Every line fades after a few seconds. The Lasting ink upgrade in the Shop makes them last longer.

Why doesn't a checkpoint run count for my best score?

Your best score measures a run from the very start. Checkpoint runs still earn coins, and missions still count.

Devices and saves

Which devices does it work on?

Any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer: Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox. It plays with a mouse or with touch.

Can I play offline?

Yes. After your first visit, the game keeps a copy on your device and opens without a connection. On a phone, add it to your home screen: in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen; in Chrome, tap the menu, then Add to Home screen.

How is my progress saved?

On your device, in your browser's storage, and in the cloud too if you want it. There's no account. If the game is closed in the middle of a run, it offers to resume that run next time.

Can I move my progress to another phone or browser?

Yes. Open Settings, then Cloud save, and tap Back up now. You get a code like K7QX-3MNP. On the other phone or browser, open Cloud save, type the code under Have a code? and tap Restore. Your coins, upgrades, outfits, rank, badges and bests all come across. The backup updates itself after every game. Keep the code somewhere safe: anyone who has it can load your progress. (On CrazyGames, progress is kept with your CrazyGames account instead.)

Which languages are there?

Ten: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean and Indonesian. The game picks your device's language, and you can change it under Settings.

If something goes wrong

The sound stopped on my iPhone. What do I do?

Tap the screen once; the game wakes the sound on the next tap. If your phone is on silent, iPhone may keep web game sound muted.

The game feels slow on my phone.

Open Settings and set Graphics to Low. The game also lowers its own detail if it notices your device struggling.

How do I start over?

Settings, then Reset progress, then tap again to confirm. This erases everything on this device and can't be undone. A cloud backup you made stays under its code, so you can still restore it later.
