I absolutely LOVE Sunburn. Definitely going on the game of the year list. It's a blissful mix of melancholy and cheery tones, as the character names, dialogue, and level names are all consistently funny, despite the bleak events actually occurring. Combine that with some wonderful wonderful pixels, a very unique central mechanic, and brilliant level design makes it one of the best puzzle games of the year. Also, did I mention it's sci-fi? This game deserves much more Touch Arcade Forum love.
I finally got this one out of storage and have driven it a few miles. As JCho and others have said, the game is fantastic. Simple as that. I'm looking forward to to getting up the steam to finish this one over the holiday weekend.
Bought this last week, finally gave it a shot, and...wow. This is a fantastic game! Can't wait to finish it over the holiday.
Woah! I've been away too long. 55 is super hard. We've got an update coming down the line -- the level isn't SO much easier, but we remove some of the comets from the beginning to at least remove that frustration.
The dev says that if you update now, you will lose your progress. Wait to update the game until the next upcoming patch.
Thanks Rawk. Yeah -- we pushed an update last night to fix a bunch of UI issues, give a little holiday skin for fun, and introduce a framework for us to provide new levels later down the line. Unfortunately it caused an issue with our save file and will reset player's progress. We requested an expedited review on our patch and are hoping we can resolve the issue ASAP. Otherwise, you can update and start over from sector 1 if you want... the holiday skin is pretty cute...
Sorry Luciano That's our fault. You might be able to revert your phone to a backup to get your save back, and then download the current update which fixes the issue. Idk if it's worth that amount of effort to you. Either way, thanks for playing and sorry about the mixup. We'll try to get some free new levels out soon that you'll be able to play without beating the originals.
I just beat the game today. Those last 15 missions became insanely difficult but I loved how you had to be methodical about each and every move (especially if you have a whole team tethered to you). It forced you to be careful and less run and gun. Also the story was somewhat dark yet endearing... you'd rather die together than stranded and alone. It felt confusing hurling your team into the sun, but that's part of what made this experience so great!!! This game was amazing and was fun every second I played. Thanks for this little gem!
Bump: on sale for a dollar! Edit: Bought it and it is fun with a nice mechanic! I love the pixel art too.
Been playing the last few days and love it. Anyone know if they are planning on adding more levels? Pulling guys around with tethered to you kind of reminded me of Gravity, however in Gravity they are trying to get home, not fly into the sun, pretty crazy/random concept for a game
The game disappeared from the AppStore! Maybe for an update? I hope that they will bring it back! At least it's still on my purchase list. Seems like it's gone from the German AppStore, as the link says it's still available in the US. So no more Sunburn! Here?
I think some of the elements on the screen may be misplaced when running on my iPod 6 latest iOS. The level completion screen: http://imgur.com/OfhYh6g.png The sector select screen (I can't find a way to switch between sectors): http://imgur.com/pPoZyxo.png The last one may have been done purposefully to add to the chaotic scenario, but some of the dialogue bubbles are cut off during the intro: eg. http://imgur.com/VdHlOZZ.png
