SUNBLAZE 22 SIMULATOR

To get to these generators you will have to destroy all the battle droids and get through all the obstacles in the way. Sparkles feels that Josie is good enough to get through all the areas of the training simulation and disable all the backup generators to totally turn it off. The name that her dad chose for her account for the training program was Sunblaze, so that will be Josie’s superhero name. Sparkles informs Josie that she is meant to become a superhero like her father. Josie has decided to give the unicorn a very fitting name, Sparkles McGlitterhoof. An AI unicorn shows up to offer advice and encouragement during the different chapters of the story. Luckily, Josie does have some help and companionship along the way. It is always nice to see a female protagonist and she clearly has some skills! Not just a character who needs someone else to save her, she takes matters into her own hands. Seeing Josie in her blue outfit, blonde hair and high ponytail I can’t help but think of Zero Suit Samus from Metroid and the Smash Brothers games. Even with this option turned on, I still died a lot, but at least I have a chance of making it through a level now! Once I do get through the game, I am going to go back with all these options turned off and attempt it again. I found that being able to jump twice made it incredibly hard. I didn’t want to make it too easy on myself so I chose only one. After getting my butt kicked a lot, I turned on the option for unlimited jumps. Sunblaze has options you can change to make the game a bit easier on yourself. Sunblaze will definitely keep you on your toes, so no slacking or being sloppy with your movements because you will die a lot! In the tutorial chapter alone I died over 100 times. Just as you get used to maneuvering around one obstacle a new one is thrown at you. Makes sense that Thwomp is in this game with there being less work since Mario has been spending so much time on the golf course as of late. Besides huge jumps you need to make, there are lasers to avoid, deadly spikes on blocks, exploding enemies and falling blocks with angry faces reminiscent of Thwomps from a Super Mario game. There will be a huge variety of obstacles that will get in your way. This is not going to be a simple task though. To progress onto the next training level you need to collect the microchip in each level.

The training simulator is always evolving and changing. As you complete one level, the next level creates itself around the spot you are standing. One of the real strengths in this game is the variety of different rooms you have to get through, with no two exactly the same. As you progress more moves will become available to you, but by this time you should be familiar with the basics. You start with only having to worry about moving, jumping and dashing. The controls of the game are straightforward and simple at the beginning which is good because of the level difficulty. Clearly this is one of those games where death will become very familiar to you. With limited training, Josie is forced to take on all the obstacles in these rooms as they continually become more challenging the further she gets.

Josie is trapped within this training program with neither her father nor her cat, Ms. Of course something goes wrong, there wouldn’t be much of a game if it was just a couple levels. This first chapter isn’t only an introduction to the story but acts as a tutorial level. Wanting his daughter to follow in his footsteps he decides to put her to the test and run her through some simple room layouts. Though he is not only a designer, he is also a superhero in his own right. The whole game takes place within a facility designed for superhero training that was created by the titular character Josie’s father. Hope you are prepared for the Super Meat Boy level of challenge that is awaiting you in Sunblaze. Nice bright colours, relaxing music and a happy looking character must mean this is a pleasant, chill game. Reviews // 11th Jul 2021 - 1 year ago // By Alana Dunitz Sunblaze Review
