Instant Karma

Instant Karma is a free, endless arcade game with one cruel twist: your only enemy is you.

Move your glowing light around the board and dodge. But every 8 seconds, your own past movements come back as a shadow ghost. The longer you survive, the more ghosts of your old self fill the screen. Touch one and the run is over.

There is no luck here. No unfair traps, no random deaths. When you lose, the game shows you the exact moment you caused it — "Killed by your 0:42 self." Every death is your own karma.

Simple to play, hard to master. One thumb is all you need.

WHY YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK

You vs. you — chase and dodge the ghost of your own past

Every death is fair and self-caused, timestamped to the second

Easy one-hand controls — play anywhere, anytime

Beat your high score and unlock new light colours

Quick runs — perfect for a short break or a long queue

PLAYS FULLY OFFLINE

No internet, no wifi, no login needed. Your scores and progress stay on your device. Great for flights, the metro, or anywhere with no signal.

FREE, WITH NO FORCED ADS

Instant Karma is free to play. We never interrupt your run with ads. Watch a short rewarded video only if you choose to — never because we force you.

A TRUE TEST OF FOCUS AND REFLEX

This is a pure reflex and survival game. Read the board, plan your path, and stay calm as your past closes in. Each run sharpens your timing and focus.

Think you can outrun yourself? You can't. But you can last a little longer than last time.
