A golden star fell behind the mountains of Sunmere, and a dragon rose from the crater. Monsters stole every coin in the kingdom. A fifteen-year-old named Kip ran out of his house in his nightshirt with a dented tin sword to win it all back.
Hero of Sunmere is a painterly HD side-scrolling action adventure and retro platformer in the spirit of the great arcade classics, rebuilt with modern controls, modern saves and a whole fantasy kingdom to explore.
• Win it back, coin by coin. Every enemy, every hidden gold bag and every secret funds your next upgrade.
• Watch Kip grow from nightshirt and pot-lid to shining Sunforged plate. Every piece of gear changes how he looks and plays: shields that block (and mirror shields that reflect), boots that let you leap higher or grip the ice.
• Legendary swords are never for sale. Win them from hidden bosses.
• 12 lands: a village at dawn, a flower valley, a castle of roses and mirrors, a harbour town, a desert of sandstorms, a tomb ruled by a riddle-loving cat, tropical islands, a frontier town, a city in the sky, an ice citadel, an undersea kingdom, and the Crater Spire.
• 18 fair, readable boss fights. Learn their tells, find their openings.
• Characters worth meeting: grumpy shopkeepers, a gossiping gecko barman, a retired sea-dragon lighthouse keeper, a talking portrait and a sphinx-cat who loves golf.
• Secrets everywhere: cracked walls, hidden rooms, heart shards and a quest trail to the true ending.
• Modern where it matters: checkpoints, autosave, a world map to replay any land, and touch, keyboard or controller.
• Classic Mode: beat the game to unlock one-life, hourglass-ticking, old-school rules.
• Story, Normal or Hard difficulty.
• 12 Google Play Games achievements to earn (signing in is optional).
• Plays offline.
Lands 1 and 2 are yours to play at no cost. One purchase unlocks the whole kingdom. No ads, no subscriptions. Just the adventure.
