A downloadable game for Windows

UNDER THE SUN is a platformer game in a dark, atmospheric 2D-world full of mystery. Explore lonely desert landscapes and gloomy temples by solving puzzles with two very contrasting characters.

It's still a Game Demo so there are a few things missing and a few bugs (see below). We really tried to keep all of this to a minimum in the time we had to our disposal.

THINGS MISSING

Animations for the Guardian sadly didnt make it into the game. Here's how he should've looked like:


The Teleport Map is provisionally pieced together with screenhots. White dots mark a teleport station. They become green if you hover over them with your mouse.


Destructible Objects have that flashy red appearance instead of a more subtle sprite. Some Animations are missing and therefore have text to describe what happens. Last but not least: Level 2 and 3 miss some sprites and lighting. Well, next time. ;)

KNOWN ISSUES

Pressing ESC doesnt bring up the pause menu.
Solution: Press ESC a second time.

Switching characters doesnt work if 1 or 2 is pressed.
"Solution": Restart the game. The issue occurs ca. 30% of the time.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

I restarted the game twice, pressing 1 or 2 does not work

Thanks for your comment and feedback! We know about the issue, but sadly couldnt fix it in time. It seems to occur randomly and the only "fix" is to restart the game till it works. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I added it to the "known issues" section.
