The graphically noir Into the Twilight Pro runs onto iPhone

Endless running games score high by encouraging replayability, but the main reason the likes of Canabalt grabbed gamers' attention was their graphical style.

It's something Into the Twilight Pro - a more traditional running game, at least in terms of its level structure - also hopes to hook into.

Best foot forward

First available as a free Lite version a couple of months ago, a paid Pro version has now been released, with an additional 30 levels, as well as more traps to avoid.

But it's the game's strong, silhouette graphics - which have something of the Tim Burton about them - that are most likely to catch your attention.

As for the gameplay, your bigheaded stick character runs and runs, with you tapping to get him to jump over obstacles or duck beneath them.

You can also automatically grab onto moving ropes, and collect stars and extra lives as you go.

Basically, just tapping at the right time triggers the appropriate move, so this is a game all about timing.

Your best times to complete each level are recorded, with Twitter integration.

Into the Twilight Pro is available now for iPhone and iPod touch, priced 99c, €0.79 or 59p.

The free Into the Twilight Lite version can be found here [iTunes link].
