The developer nailed the early 1980s gameplay and aesthetics of classic space based arcade games. You can play for a minute or for an hour. So satisfying! ### 5/5 — FINALLY IT’S BACK *2024-01-10, version 1.1.3* After years of not being playable on newer iOS devs have finally updated the game. One of my favourite games rescued from the depths of incompatibility. Great game, highly recommend. ### 3/5 — I loved this game! *2022-06-05* I remember playing this game back in 2014 on my iPhone 5c and loved it for its art style and chill gameplay. I recall multiple times trying to redownload it, but it haddn't been updated and had been abandoned. And now it is back! I wish more people could see this game. Sadly, on this mac version, it is flipped upside down and there is no way to turn it the other way, so it is unplayable. ### 5/5 — PLEAAE UPDATE *2020-07-09* I absolutely loved this game for the years, yes YEARS. I really badly wish that I could still play this on my phone. This is one of the most brilliant games I’ve ever played on mobile and I feel it’s a shame that it can’t be played nowadays unless you have a much older tablet/phone. ### 5/5 — Please keep update with iOS please please please *2020-06-17, version 1.1.1* Please ### 1/5 — Update to iOS 13 *2020-03-25, version 1.1.1* When will be available for iOS 13 ? ### 5/5 — Шедевр. *2018-09-24, version 1.1.1* Игра,которая уже как 2 года на моём устройстве. Невероятно красивая и увлекательная. Обновите шедевр для iOS 12, плакать хочется ### 3/5 — Please Update for iOS 11 *2018-09-19, version 1.1.1* It would be fab if this worked on my new iPad. ### 4/5 — GREAT GAME NOT WORKING ON IOS 11 *2018-03-18, version 1.1.1* Great game. Needs to be updated ti work with IOS 11. ### 5/5 — Empfehlung! *2018-01-15, version 1.1.1* Leider viel zu selten findet man inzwischen solche Perlen wie Sunburn. Klasse Spielidee in tollem Retrolook mit knackigen kurzen Leveln für das schnelle Spiel zwischendurch. Hat man die Spielphysik erst einmal verinnerlicht macht Sunburn süchtig. Toll. ## Frequently asked questions about Sunburn! ### What is Sunburn! about? Sunburn! is a gravity-bending puzzle platformer where you play as a spaceship captain.
