About
The desert offers several paths, and it’s up to you to explore them at your own pace. Discover an ancient ruin to deepen your understanding of the world’s history. Let yourself be soothed by a gliding flow, slide freely across the sands, and interact with artifacts from a long-lost civilization. The deeper you venture into the ruins, the more challenging it becomes to navigate. Only by strengthening your symbiotic relationship with the desert can you find a way out and perhaps uncover a few secrets along the journey.
● A handcrafted cinematic experience in a poetic world.
● Glide, jump, and learn the ways of the desert to unlock your full potential.

Pretty visuals and music, and responsive controls. Takes less than 10 minutes to finish, but it's a nice break between games!
Una demo demasiado corta, son literalmente 5 minutos pero creo que esta bonito como para mirar el proceso del juego. EN cuanto a rendimiento, en mi pc no se si es que no le supe configurar bien para que se viera bien suave y demas pero me parece que esta bien, de lo poco que se ve, va bien :D
after 10 minutes you are done. this Isn't even a demo.

A simple 5-minute "demo?". I'm not sure I understand why they call it "demo", but still, it's a 5-minute adventure which although not ground-breaking is well-done and pleasant. If I understood correctly, it's a students' project, and it's quite good as such.
Dying Sun, Honestly is a beautifully crafted, enjoyable, but short demo. Surfing through the environment is genuinely stunning to witness, the game feels like the world much bigger, than what you see in the game, it really made me want to keep exploring it, unfortunately I wasn't able to do so, as the path is rather linear. The control's while being very simple but actually quite good and responsive and worked well with the game play. Overall, I'd recommend checking this game out! Solid 7/10
Random Scuffed Games #249 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Aktuelle Spielequeue: https://rsg.ditomido.de Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: drksmoo Dying Sun ist eine Studentenarbeit und daher recht kurz, kostenlos, kraftvoll und künstlerisch. Es ist auf jeden Fall eine Augenweide und auch die Musik ist super, aber spielerisch hatte ich ein paar Probleme. Flow war gut, die Spielperformance eher nicht so und es war auch erst nicht klar ersichtlich wofür die Collectibles sind. Diese Sind wohl Orbs um den Sprint zu regenerieren. Auch hatte ich das Problem, dass mitten im Game mein Menü nicht mehr funktioniert hat und ich prinzipiell auch die y-Achse nicht tauschen durfte. Alles in allem zwar irgendwo ganz cool, es vieles richtig, aber es wirkt trotz allem noch etwas dürftig und sehr kurz. Rating: Dito: 3.3/5 Chat: 3.59/5 Gesamt: 3.45/5
Short little 5-minute journey. Nice music. Good job, students! If you do plan to expand the game, please add the option for inverted camera axes!
Exceptionnel !

This needs better labeling, so that players know this is a demo and not a game. With the context that it is a demo, it was a short (just a couple minutes), but cool experience that left me wanting more. Surfing felt good. the creatures flying low to join me was neat. And the music slowly building in the background made me feel cool. If I had a critique its that some of those hills felt like they should have naturally given me airtime rather than needing to press jump. But that's mostly a nitpick.
