The Real Final Update?! And coming to Nintendo Switch!
Happy 2025, we're back for one more update! Version 1.1's major addition is a Japanese localization! We had to update some fonts in the game to accommodate this, so you might notice that change too. We also fixed various bugs that we noticed and polished some things a little more.
Sunshower is on sale now for the Steam Couch Co-op Fest, so if you'd like to gift the game to someone or if you're getting it for the first time, now's your chance!
Part of the motivating factor for this update was... Sunshower is coming to Nintendo Switch next week!! You should be able to add it to your wish list in the Americas' Nintendo eShop stores starting on February 14! It will be available in the Americas on February 19 and in Europe, Australia, and Asia on February 20!
Thanks to everyone who supported us this far, and please let us know what you thought of the game in a review!
We hope you'll look forward to what we're working on next in our new RPG, GNOMONIC. Add it to your wish list!! The first part of the game will be released on Steam and Nintendo Switch this year, and we'll be running a Kickstarter campaign for the game shortly after that releases. Maybe you'll learn more about Sunshower in GNOMONIC? Hope you'll try it when it's ready!
Final Major Update & Full Release Coming November 1st!
We're finally releasing the last major Sunshower update, version 1.0, on November 1st! This update will bring the game out of early access into a full release!!
Thanks to the musical efforts of Shane Mesa and SupaBubba, new music will play as you progress to high scores! Shane even redid our original tracks for the game, so everything sounds like new. I hope you enjoy it, it sounds so good!! The soundtrack for the game will be available for free on Steam, Bandcamp, and most music streaming platforms after the update releases.
One new unlockable mode will be added too: Eclipsed Mode! The look, feel, and sound of this mode are inspired by LCD games. It's also a little more difficult compared to the main mode because there aren't any power-ups for you to use, and you won't be able to rebound your plant off of the walls either. After you get the basics of the game down, keep your eye on the title screen for something new after your playthroughs so you can try it!
We'll also be adding support for macOS in this next update so even more people will be able to play! Aside from all that, there have been minor tweaks and fixes to v0.9 to improve the game even more.
Thanks for supporting us during Early Access and we hope you'll look forward to the release of the demo for our next game: GNOMONIC! Enjoy, and please, let us know what you thought of Sunshower in an honest review of the game after you've played it!! We're also planning a special event for the game soon after the release, so stay tuned for more info!
