Oct 10, 2020I kid you not handsdown one of the best indie games ever, but this game is so hard. It’s so hard I thought I accidentally picked hard mode when all I picked was normal, I can’t even get past the first boss battle

Games Master UKApr 2, 2017A hodgepodge of half-baked ideas, this is a pretty little ditty but it neither rises, nor shines. [March 2017, p.77]

Mar 6, 2017I really wanted to like Rise & Shine. It’s one of the prettiest indie games I’ve played because of its beautiful and vibrant hand-drawn backgrounds, enemies and player characters. It’s also rife with fun, tongue-in-cheek references to the video games of yore. But that love quickly fades after spending hours and hours on a game that feels way harder than it needs to be. The demands and rigors of combat are unnecessarily stacked against the player, taking the form of frequent and cheap deaths. Love turns to fear, fear leads to anger, anger leads to pain, and pain leads to rage quitting and never wanting to play Rise & Shine ever again.

Edge MagazineFeb 27, 2017It's hard to find too much fault in a game that's so in love with its inspirations, but Rise & Shine is at its best when it's being itself. [March 2017, p.104]
