    PROS: Amazing art style. Decent graphics - it's a cartoon. Nice music. O.K. Sound. Interesting mini puzzles & games. Good nerdy humor. Interesting, challenging gun-play. Responsive controls.
    CONS: Crappy level design, apart the puzzles and a tiny bit of platforming, you just keep running in one direction for most of the time. It get's boring real quick. Enemies are so, so.

But the greatest FLAW of the game is its VERY SHORT PLAYTIME. Is sort of like the Devs did run out of steam. It took me about 3 HOURS to beat.    … Expand

    Loved the gameplay, the art, the difficulty and all the references to other games. However, 15 euro for a platformer you finish in 2 hours is a rip-off.

    I was waiting for this game because i love 2D arcades games but although it's not a bad game, when i played it i was dissapointed. What a pity. It has a high potencial but it's wasted.

    When it comes down to it, Rise & Shine is unable to create an engaging experience by itself, with mechanics that are not utilized to the best extent. Worse, the game feels like a chore to play, as I felt that I had to rely predominantly on luck in order to advance through much of the game. For all the strength of its graphics and introductory stages, Rise & Shine is unable to create a compelling experience worth playing.

    The game looks amazing and is overall very charming, but it seems it lost half of its content along the way, because it ends before it manages to fulfill its potential. I also felt that the designers couldn’t agree on how combat should play out, so it got stuck somewhere between tactical and frenetic. [03/2017, p.62]

    Rise & Shine's cute look lulls you into thinking that this is going to be an awesome game. Hand-drawn backgrounds and characters look great, the animation is smooth, and the attention to detail is everywhere. But the controls are insufferable: it's difficult to target your enemies while playing on gamepad, and good luck dashing and jumping with a keyboard.
