A downloadable game for Windows

Welcome to Solaris!

Sunrise is a 2D platformer / top down, featuring the ability to create and share levels you make to the world. On a mysterious day in the land of Solaris, the mayor who has been missing for 4 weeks, returns with the intent of violence, sending shockwaves across the world with a magic device, powerful enough to wipe anything from existance. With this newfound power, he shoots it up at the most important thing, the device powering the artificial sun. Now, with all light gone across the world, it's up to you to retrieve the pieces of the device, put them together, and stop the mayor before there's nothing left...

Build your dreams!

Sunrise has an innovative level creator, featuring tons of tools and features, and a custom & simple programming language built from the ground up. Sunrise's level of level creation is like no other. As you learn more and more of the ways of the creator, you'll be able to share your levels across the world for others to play and rate.

FAQ

Sunrise is an early access title. This means you can download and play the game, but it won't be finished yet! As such you can expect to encounter some bugs, and there will be some missing features for a while. However, you will also receive all future updates for free and get to be a part of this game's development!

"Why would you choose to take this into early access?"

Sunrise has been taking much longer than I anticipated, and I want you all to be able to see what I've been cooking and have in store, and since the game is in a mostly playable state at this point, I figured, why not release the game as Early Access, so I can still work on it, but have a much bigger community!

"How long will early access last?"

It's unknown how long that'll last, however, I do have plans to try and release a major update every 2-5 months, although, with school and other challenges in my personal life, it might take longer than expected, however, don't think the game is canceled, as I had been just too busy to work.

"What features are to be added?"

Our Planned Features include:

  • Survival Mode with Randomly Generated Worlds
  • In-game Achievement Unlocking System
  • Character Creator
  • Online Feature Intergation
  • Pinch Mode & Crunch Mode: Harder difficulties for Story Mode, including having a time limit or even only one life
  • Retro Styled Custom Lighting Systems + a Super Duper Graphics mode with realistic effects, shaders, and lighting
  • Endless Mode

"Is Sunrise going to stay free forever?"

The base game of Sunrise is going to stay free, however, once early access ends, special editions, deluxe editions, and even collectors editions, with extra perks and features will be added in, without budding into ANY of the game modes.

"What platforms is Sunrise coming to? / When will you port Sunrise to my device? (per say maybe Android)"

Sunrise is currently only available for Windows, however, hopefully by version 0.2, we'll have added support for Mac OS and Linux. When Sunrise leaves Early Access, it will have official releases on Android and if we're given the chance, maybe even consoles too, including Xbox.
