Sun Keepers

Features
Read full description

Every number is a clue. Every hidden tile could be corruption. Read the board right and bring a dying world back to light. Sun Keepers is classic Minesweeper turned into a logic puzzle adventure. A dark spirit has shattered Amaru, the great serpent god, into ten Scales, and the land from the snowy Andes to the heart of the rainforest is turning gray. You are a young Sun Keeper, and your only weapon is logic: open safe tiles, seal the corruption and light up the dark, one board at a time. FAIR BOARDS, PURE LOGIC • Every Quest board is checked by a logic solver before you see it, so you rarely have to guess. • The rules you know: a number counts the corrupted tiles around it. Long-press to place a Seal, the game's flag. • Stepping on corruption costs a life, not the level. Revive and play on, or retry a fresh layout for free. • Stuck? Take a Peek under the dark or ask for a Clue. 2,000 LEVELS, 10 REGIONS, 10 TWISTS Travel from the Withering Peaks through the Sacred Valley, Mirror Lake, the Desert of Lines and the Cloud Kingdoms to the Heart of the Forest. Every region bends the minesweeper rules its own way: Sacred Stones that light the dark, terraces, rivers and mirrors, sandstorms, tides, mist, keys and doors, straits, vines and sanctums. A STORY TO PLAY THROUGH • Purify 10 Guardians: a puma, a condor king, a whale, a jaguar and more. Each boss fight spans three rooms, and Sun Keepers heal, they never kill. • Win back Amaru's Scales one by one and watch the serpent god grow. • Chases: outrun wildfire, rising tides, floods and creeping vines. The danger moves with your taps, never with the clock. • Rescue animals trapped in the corruption and set them free. • Journey Gates: build each region's gift with the people of the road, then draw it tile by tile on a Picture puzzle. • Storyline and Journal: relive the quest as an illustrated book. GEAR, LOOT AND THE FORGE Dress your explorer in 8 gear slots across four tiers: Normal, Improved, Elite and Legendary. Turn spare gear into Sun Dust and craft stronger pieces at the Forge. Legendary gear can't be crafted. It has to be found. DAILY EXPEDITIONS A huge new map every day, built from rooms and passages, in five tiers from Easy to Nightmare. Every explorer descends the same temple that day. The tiers open at Explorer level 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30. TEAM UP WITH A FRIEND One dark map split in half: you play one side, your friend plays the other, with 48 hours for each turn. Light 8 of the 10 seals together to open the Light Chest. Opens at Quest level 10. RANKINGS AND FRIENDS Climb the monthly and all-time Rankings and filter them to your friends. Add friends with their SK- code. PLAY YOUR WAY • Offline play: the Quest, Guardians, the Forge and Expeditions all work without a connection. Rankings, Friends and Team Up need one. • Free to play. Coin packs and one-time bundles are optional. • Ads never interrupt a board. Short ads appear between levels from your 21st completed level, and Remove Ads turns them off for good. • Optional Sign in with Apple carries your progress to a new device. • For iPhone and iPad. Interface in 11 languages, story in English. The jungle is waiting. Your first board is one tap away. Made by FYR Games, a small indie studio: fyrgames.com/sunkeepers
