The sun went out. Every lamplighter who went down to relight it is still down there. You are the last one, and the lantern you carry is the last of it. Eclipse Runner is a precision platformer about crossing a world the light left behind. Eight worlds, 120 levels, and only as much of each one as your lantern will show you. **RUN, AND KEEP RUNNING** Jump, dash, swim and climb through levels built to be learned rather than survived. Every world asks something the last one didn't: flooded halls, ice that gives way, a city of glass, machinery that never stops turning, and a sky with less and less left to stand on. Five powers to earn along the way, each one taught by the level that hands it to you: • Dash • Shadow Step • Grappling Hook • Light Pulse • Time Echo Eight worlds, eight things waiting at the end of them. **THE DARK KEPT THINGS** Shards to find, and secrets hidden off the obvious path. 97 memories scattered across the eight worlds the record of everyone who came down here before you, read in the order you find it rather than the order it happened. Three stars on every level, for the time, the shards and the secrets. 360 in all, if you want them. **BUILT TO BE FAIR** • No timers, no lives to wait for, no energy to refill • If a level beats you twenty-five times, the game opens the next one anyway. You can come back to it. • Progress saves on the device, and follows you between your own devices with iCloud save • No account, nothing to sign up for, nothing to log in to **WHAT IT COSTS** Eclipse Runner is free, with an ad between levels. Eclipse Runner Pro removes those ads for good and starts you with 300 shards. The one ad it keeps is the one you choose the offer of a life when you have run out because taking that away would leave a payer with fewer ways out than a free player has. Shards can also be bought outright if you would rather not go looking. Landscape. Touch controls, left- or right-handed. One explorer. One lantern. Keep moving.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Play Headshot at none against Eclipse Runner's shown. Eclipse Runner's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
