One path. Every number. Every cell. Welcome to Otterway, a warm and playful visual logic puzzle where every turn matters and every completed path brings a wonderfully satisfying moment of discovery. Start at number 1, connect every numbered point in order, and trace one continuous path across the board. The rule sounds simple, but there is a clever twist: your path must fill every single cell without crossing itself. Easy to learn. Delightfully tricky to solve. HOW TO PLAY - Start at number 1 and connect the numbered points in order. - Move one cell at a time: up, down, left, or right. - Create one continuous path that never crosses itself. - Fill the entire board without leaving an empty cell. - Plan ahead and find your way around every wall. Reaching the next number is only part of the solution. Every turn changes the space that remains, and one tempting shortcut can leave a lonely cell trapped behind your path. Look ahead, protect the spaces you still need, and discover the route that brings the entire board together. SIMPLE RULES, CLEVER ROUTES The first puzzles help you settle into the flow. Follow the numbers, explore the open spaces, and watch your path glide neatly across the grid. As you progress, the boards become more intricate. A harmless-looking corner may close off the rest of your route. A quick turn may lead you into a dead end. A path that looks perfect at first may leave just one empty cell behind. When that happens, step back, rethink the route, and try a different turn. The best part is the moment when the solution finally clicks and one clean line fills the whole board. PLAN AROUND EVERY WALL Walls appear between cells as the puzzles grow more challenging. Your path cannot pass through them, so familiar grids become completely new logic problems. Should you take the wide route first? Save a narrow corner for later? Loop around a wall before connecting the next number? The answer is always there. You just need to see the board in a new way. RELAX AND SOLVE AT YOUR OWN PACE Otterway is not about frantic tapping or lightning-fast reactions. It is about observation, planning, and the quiet satisfaction of transforming a complicated grid into one complete path. Enjoy a quick and gentle puzzle when you need a thoughtful break, or settle in with a more intricate route when you are ready for a deeper challenge. There is no need to rush. Take a breath, study the board, and let the path unfold one turn at a time. WHAT MAKES OTTERWAY SPECIAL? - Clear visual rules you can understand in seconds. - Satisfying path puzzles built around spatial planning. - A smooth difficulty curve that introduces new ideas naturally. - Walls, tight spaces, and clever turns that keep every route interesting. - Calm, colorful visuals filled with otter personality. - A rewarding moment of discovery at the end of every solved grid. FIND YOUR OTTERWAY Sometimes the perfect route is right in front of you. Sometimes it takes one more look, one different turn, or one clever loop around a wall. Connect the numbers. Fill every cell. Complete the path. Can you make every turn count? Find your way. Find your Otterway.

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.
