About

Auric

Features
Read full description

There’s a moment in every run when the screen fills with light, motion, and gold. Your aura hums. The next challenge is forty seconds away. You keep moving, collecting, and choosing. Magnet, or Power? Faster blades, or more of them? Auric: Eclipse is that moment, stretched out. A fast arcade bullet-heaven built for one thumb. Your abilities activate automatically. You move, collect gold, and choose what to upgrade. No menus during gameplay. No aiming. Just movement, timing, and builds that grow every minute. Wave after wave, the sky grows darker. Every coin strengthens your build. Every level changes the direction of the run. Every minute brings a new challenge with new patterns to learn. Hold on long enough and the eclipse breaks. INSIDE • 4 weapons, each upgradeable through 5 tiers • 6 passive stats — Magnet, Regen, Power, Speed, Heart, Luck • Dozens of build combinations every run • 4 enemy types — drifters, runners, tanks, shooters • A major challenge every 60 seconds with unique patterns • Endless scaling and persistent high scores • Fully offline on iPhone and iPad NOT INSIDE • Energy meters · timers · pay-to-win · forced ads • Interruptions during gameplay · pop-ups · Wi-Fi requirement • Battle passes · daily login screens · cluttered menus One optional rewarded ad per run — watch to continue from a difficult moment. That’s it. Auric: Eclipse is designed for phone-speed play. Two minutes between classes or thirty during a flight — same feeling. Jump in, learn, improve, repeat. The kind of game where “one more run” quietly becomes four. The eclipse keeps growing. Stay bright long enough to outlast it. — Genre: bullet-heaven · survivors-like · roguelite · arcade Controls: touch joystick (any thumb position) / WASD Age: 0+ · fantasy arcade action
