Shinvara is an independent action roguelike for iPhone, built around ninja combat, elemental abilities, and run-by-run character builds.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The project describes runs as room-based encounters where movement, dashes, counters, and upgrade choices determine each build. Its current material includes a Windows capture, two environments—Bamboo Forest and Shadow World—and a Bamboo Guardian boss. The page lists ten ninja characters and separates temporary run progression from permanent character progression. A local save exists in the build, while account-based recovery between devices is explicitly described as unfinished.
