About Sunblaze

About this game

”Whose blood is that on the walls?” -Josie

Josie is up for a challenge. Her dad, a retired superhero, has fixed his superhero training simulator and lets Josie go in there to play around a bit. After all, show us a parent who wouldn't want to train their daughter to be a superhero? But then suddenly the training room goes rogue, and... Josie is up for a challenge.

In this tough, hand-crafted precision platformer, you’ll play as Josie, aka. Sunblaze, with a mission to complete your superhero training. The training room is full of puzzles, brain-tickling challenges, obstacles, TNT, spikes, drones... And a purrfect sidekick: the cat. You have got a cat. What else do you need?

Well, skills. That’s what you need. The ever-changing training room keeps on bringing you challenge after challenge, and you'll stay glued up on your controller for hours.

Being a parent is hard, but most likely not this hard

Ok, all the parents who have not lost their kids in a mall or other crowd ever, raise your hands? It's all good, at least you didn't lose them in a hostile superhero simulator full of lasers, evil bots, spikes, and... Well, go and see for yourself!

WARNING: Playing Sunblaze may cause massive brain growth

You know, to survive all the levels, your brain needs to do some work. We know, we know, it might sound scary, but like Aristotle said: "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.", and Quentin Tarantino put it even better: "Violence is one of the most fun things to watch."

Oh, are you still reading? Go and get playing right now! We will promise you one thing: dying over 5000 times on one game has never felt this good.

(P.S. Dying is 100% optional, the already easy controls and gameplay can be customized with accessibility features to meet your own needs and wants.)

I thought it was quite good. Paying $1 or less for a game is always interesting because you never know what you're gonna get, but I have often been pleasantly surprised.

It's a nice Celeste clone, with beautiful pixel art and a good story. The gameplay is tight, not quite like Celeste but it's fun.

The idea for sunblaze is quite cool and for a 2d retro pixel kinda game it also looks pretty decent. The levels start out okay but they get ridiculously difficult very quickly. It often feels like there is exactly one "correct" path and no other way to finsih the level. In order to finsih a level you then need to basically to a combo of these very specific moves perfectly. Yeah, i get that this is a "precision platformer" but the way it's executed is a bit extreme. If you are one of the people who enjoy playing the dark souls games over and over again until they are able to finsih them without taking damage once, then maybe this is a game for you. Maybe i am just not made for platformers and struggled more with this game than other players do, idk, but i cannot find it in me to recommend this game.

Very enjoyable on the begining... It has 6 chapters but when you reach chapter 4 it becomes extremley hard and unplayable without developer aid (at least i am talking about my self)... You could go for it if you love games like super meat boy,Nplusplus and other precision platformers. if you do not like this kind of games you shall not go for it. Buy it only on sale.

Caught by surprise by how much I love it - beautiful pixel art, TONS of levels, all carefully and well designed (definitely a puzzle element to finding the "right path" at times) and fun music. Tight controls make this game an absolute must-play if you like Celeste or precision platformers.
