Change your mind mid-air. Disappear into the next fight. [Learn the movement](https://shadowfrag.com/game/#movement) ### Take the leap. Commit to a direction. Leap forward, land quickly and carry momentum into your next jump. Sideways and backward hops trade distance for control. Directional jump · SPACE ![Ninja demonstrating directional jump using SHADOWFRAG's movement physics](https://shadowfrag.com/game/movement/jump-poster.webp) ### Rewrite your route. One more step when the ground is gone. Redirect in the air with a small boost, a directional flip and a cloud of dust beneath your feet. Double-jump · SPACE IN THE AIR ![Ninja demonstrating double-jump using SHADOWFRAG's movement physics](https://shadowfrag.com/game/movement/double-jump-poster.webp) ### Point. Launch. Aim where you want to go. A shallow angle carries you across a gap; aim higher to take a new level. Time the landing and chain into a momentum-preserving hop. Chi-jump · LEFT SHIFT ![Ninja demonstrating chi-jump using SHADOWFRAG's movement physics](https://shadowfrag.com/game/movement/chi-jump-poster.webp) ### Leave them guessing. Throw a smoke bomb forward and warp to its destination. Smoke marks both ends of the move. Arrive near a wall to refresh chi and keep the chain going.
