Shoot Fast, Think Faster Rise & Shine is a true 'think and gun' that combines elements of arcade shooters, bullet hells, and puzzle platformers to create a new blend of strategy and viscera. Switch between Shine's add-ons to solve puzzles that redefine what bullets can do. Guide projectiles through intricate mazes, electrify damaged equipment to discover new pathways, and juggle 8-bit fruit because why not? Get Ready to Respawn Don't let the cute character models fool you, saving Gamearth won't be easy. Prepare to dash flurries of missiles and avoid unseen traps as you fight to prevent its destruction. It's going to take all you've got to stay alive in the face of lethal robot armadas, enormous bosses, giant death wheels, and (of course) brainthirsty zombies. You're not gettin' through this in one piece, kiddo. Next Level Detail Enter a world where every level is a single, continuous work of art. Each level is composed of hand drawn illustrations with multiple parallax scroll layers so every forward step is new; no tiling or repeated elements. This meticulous attention to detail allows each frame to flow seamlessly from one to the next, a quality you'll wish you had on your 20th respawn.

Press reviews: “Rise & Shine features challenging gameplay that blows some recent AAA games out of the water” 95 – Entertainment Buddha “Everything about this game just seems to mesh together to deliver an enjoyable experience that is refreshing, challenging, and witty.” 9/10 – GameSkinny “A love letter to gaming that has more than enough to stand on its own merits, Rise & Shine could be a dark horse for one of the best of 2017.” 9/10 – Cultured Vultures 

Notes: Th game's story involves the results of a hostile invasion, although not in depth. One of the characters (a little child) loses her family in the war, but that is not depicted in the game. Gory deaths happen in the game, plus some occasional swearing.
