About

Blaze a trail and fight your way across vast deserts, darkened tombs, tangled jungles and over towering mountains, and up the heavens themselves as the Imp of the Sun in this face-paced, high-skill 2D action-platformer!

The Sun itself has created the fiery Imp with its dying energy, and has sent it to reclaim its fallen kingdoms, now ruled by those that have betrayed Him. As the Imp, use your fiery will, wits and reflexes to navigate dungeons filled with unrelenting enemies, each ruled over by the Sun’s former, traitorous guardians to return light and life to the land and its people!

As the Imp of the Sun, players will explore sprawling, hand-crafted 2D environments, using platforming skills to navigate complex levels, and quick reflexes to combat various enemies, while gaining new power and abilities as they progress. Along the way, the Imp can befriend the remaining human villagers, and learn about them and their history by retrieving artifacts, Quipus, that recount the glory of the days of the Sun’s rule.
