Imp of the Sun

Restore the Sun’s light and end the Eternal Eclipse in this 2D fast-paced action-platformer game inspired by Peruvian cultures. Explore hand-crafted environments, battle and improve your skills to defeat the Four Keepers that stole the power of the Sun.

Hi everyone! We hope you had a great time playing the Imp of the Sun demo and we’re really loving all the feedback we have received! Today is our 3rd entry for our development diary and we believe now would be a great time to introduce you to a few (though not all) of the places you will visit playing through the game!

Izhi whom we met in the previous development diary settled down here, protected by two rising bridges able to watch over the golden spear and built a farm. Izhi’s Farm is surrounded by precipices and is the area where you will access the other environments within Imp of the Sun!

As you explore the jungle you will come across small villages and lakes, which are harmful to beings of fire like Nin, which are filled with unstable platforms that begin to sink upon contact. You will find other environmental walls such as roots that will require Nin’s special abilities to pass through!

As you progress through the desert and explore the ancient ruins you will find hints signs of war against another keeper’s army, and brave your way through several puzzles in order to progress onto Tui, the Keeper of this land.

This map took inspiration from Machu Picchu, with the background, rocky and grassy terrain and ruins all leading credence to it. The enemies you find throughout the Mountains can make the climb even tougher, though the journey will be treacherous, you will learn new abilities in order to help you as you brave the climb, and who knows what you will find in the ruins stood at the top..?

We hope you enjoyed this look into some of the environments, that you will explore throughout your journey in Imp of the Sun!
