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

It'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]

I 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

L'indé à la petite semaine est encore une daube scrollante en 2D avec de **** graphismes neuneus barbouillés avec Unity, le moteur à deux balles préféré des développeurs indés. C'est évidemment simplet avec ce chiard plongé dans une guerre sur la planète des jeux vidéo ("Shine") qui regorge de clins d'oeil aux personnages célèbres du 9ème art. Il s'agit ici davantage de flinguer les envahisseurs idiots que de vraiment sauter... même s'il faut sauter quand même. Ce petit con de chiard chialeux doit donc progresser dans cette espèce d'ersatz de jeu minable boulotté par des branques qui n'ont aucune idée de ce qu'ils font, à part tenter de se faire du fric facile sur le dos des amateurs de jeux triple Z et autres navets. Rise & Shine ne brille certainement pas par son gameplay (?) limité et navrant et n'élèvera certainement le genre ; il l'abaisse et le dégrade : une honte de plus pas ludique pour un sou. Une arnaque lamentable.

Rise & Shine è un gioco difficile che coniuga il genere platform con lo sparatutto e con un pizzico di puzzle game. Richiede parecchi tentativi per procedere nell'avventura, memori ogni volta degli errori compiuti in precedenza, ma riesce ad intrattenere il giocatore incollandolo allo schermo nel tentativo di superare questo o quell'altro ostacolo. Peccato solamente per la longevità un po' bassina. Stracolmo di citazioni sotto forma di **** da incontrare oppure residenti nello stesso gameplay, abbiamo davanti un gioco che merita sicuramente una possibilità, anche per il prezzo al quale viene proposto.

I’m left here taking with me memories of a game that has shone throughout and risen enough to really put itself up there with the highest quality indie titles currently available. I’m utterly thankful that I stuck with the adventures of Rise & Shine, jumping, double jumping and pounding that trigger button right until the very end. Because you see, it delivers moments of magic throughout.

If you like a good challenge and value quality gameplay over length, which you should, Rise & Shine is a great little title and a great start to the gaming year.

Rise & Shine offers a great visual look with lots of cameos and references to the video gaming world, all coupled with a good and challenging action-platform gameplay. The good action phases get hampered by more repetitive and long puzzle moments or by some frustrating trial and error sequences, though. But when it manages to really shine, it can be a great action game.

Despite its brevity ultimately doing some notable harm to it, Rise & Shine is still ultimately a solid platformer for the most part, one that has a lot of cute callbacks to classic video games while still having its own unique charm, along with some impressive graphics and nifty ideas sprinkled throughout. The action gets nice and intense, and save for the end, puts up a meaty yet fair challenge. So while it isn’t exactly the greatest at skewering gaming culture while also honoring it, it’s still an overall good game.

Rise & Shine may be an infuriating endeavor but it's also a memorable one full of humour and a fun mix of gameplay elements. That being said, it only appeals to those looking for a hardcore 2D action game that'll thoroughly test their patience.

Rise & Shine looked like an early sleeper for 2017, but its design holds it back more often than not. I wanted to love it, but after banging my head against it for the short duration it lasts, it wasn’t worth the tedium.

Gorgeous graphics but gormless gameplay leaves you wishing you were playing any of the dozens of other games this indie dud attempts to parody.
