## What is Gap Runner?

Gap Runner is a fast-paced, skill-based flying game where you navigate through increasingly challenging gaps. Three difficulty modes, collectible stars, and a deep progression system — there's always something new to unlock.

GAMEPLAY
• Three modes: Easy, Medium, and Hard
• Easy keeps a steady pace, Medium adds moving pipes, Hard ramps up speed the longer you survive
• Collect Bronze, Silver, Gold, and rare Rainbow stars as you fly
• Every star you collect across all runs adds up toward unlocking new content

HEARTS & GHOST MODE
• Collect hearts mid-flight — up to 3 per run
• Crash with a heart? You revive in the nearest safe gap with 5 seconds of ghost mode

CUSTOMIZATION
• 6 Themes — Classic, Jungle, Ocean, Space, Volcano, City
• 6 Characters — Spaceship, Rocket, UFO, Shark, Ghost, Cybertruck
• 6 Avatars — Rocket, Alien, Lightning, Volcano, Crown, Skull
• Each with unique hand-drawn visuals, effects, and animations

PROGRESSION
• Themes unlock by collecting cumulative stars
• Characters unlock by hitting scores on specific difficulty modes
• Avatars unlock through achievements — play games, collect rainbow stars, conquer Hard mode

LEADERBOARD
• Separate rankings for Easy, Medium, and Hard
• Top 50 global players per mode
• Set your display name and avatar to stand out

QUALITY OF LIFE
• Auto-pauses when you switch apps or take a call

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1.2 — 2026-11-04

A new name on the App Store: Gap Runner: Space Arcade. Same ship, same gaps, same skins.

### 2.1.1 — 2026-10-29

• A run you continue after watching an ad now counts as one game in your stats, and its stars count once.
• Opening Info during a run pauses it.

Plus bug fixes.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-10-28

Made for iPhone Duo
• Play on the outer display, or open it up: folded like a laptop, the game flies on the top half with a big tap pad below; folded like a book, the ship gets one page and the menus the other.
• Customize and Leaderboard use both pages.
• Opening, folding or rotating the device pauses the run, and it picks up again with a 3-2-1 countdown.

Leaderboard fixes
• Your best score and player name now sync reliably.

Plus bug fixes.
