What players say

Sunblaze is a neat puzzle platformer. I suppose it doesn't compare with the likes of Celeste when it comes to gameplay depth and presentation, but this game is perfectly fine. The game also has a decent amount content: 6 chapters, with a harder version for each of them, and a bonus chapter. There's also an easy mode for those who would prefer a gentler experience.

Very nice, short precision puzzle platformer with lots of extra content for seasoned platformer players yearning for bigger challenge. What's unique about this one is that all the levels take place within the space of your monitor without ever really changing its proportions. There's just enough variety here for a nice playthrough with some breaks cuz it can get a bit difficult. Hard mode offers completely new...
