How it works

Click Start Run to begin.
Every few seconds, a shadow spawns and follows your recorded path.
Normal rule: touch a red shadow → Run Over.
Edges wrap: leaving one side brings you out on the opposite side.
Power orbs appear sometimes when you collect shards – eat them to trigger effects.
