About The Sun at Night
The tide of Soviet power washing across the face of the Earth could possibly have been turned back at various stages of history. But the new energy sources they discovered lit a fire under the Russian war machine. So when Stalin rolled into Paris, the resulting flare-up of global conflict left little more than smoking ash heaps where America and Great Britain had been.
Now, Stalin is dead. Though resistance movements have emerged, the Soviets still stand supreme as rulers of the globe. Only a force from beyond the earth could possibly tip the balance.
Abram Krupin, leader of a resistance cell, knows this. When he sees a dog fall from the stars, then, he takes it as an omen. This dog speaks, wears silver armor, and has an arsenal of mysterious weapons. Abram calls her Laika.
Laika believes that, despite all odds, she can protect the countless lives crushed by the Soviets.
The Sun at Night is a 2D action platformer to be released in three parts. All episodes will feature:
- Massive, nonlinear levels that model the layouts of real locations in a way not yet seen in other platformers
- Large, choice-rich skill trees that let players approach the game the way they want to
- A novel defensive mechanic that lets players turn the firepower of Laika's enemies against them
- Smoothly flowing, fast-paced shooting action
- A story of struggle and hope, full of twists and revelations
- Rich, evocative art depicting a world dominated by a technologically ascendant Soviet empire
- Secrets and rewards hidden in every corner for the determined player

Bad game. Not worth any money.1 found this helpful
JUSTICE FOR LAIKA IF YOU DOWNVOTE THIS GAME YOU HATE DOGS!!!!!!!!!
The only word that comes to mind describing this game is: cheap.
"The Sun at Night" (PC, 2014) is a 2D dystopian action platformer where you play as Laika, the space dog, teaming up with the Russian resistance to take down the oppressive United Republics who have taken over the world after America was incinerated! Armed with a side cannon, you blast through waves of robots and Soviet soldiers. While the map screen can be confusing and Laika's movement a bit too speedy, the game offers an engaging experience with its decent pixel art and intriguing story. Fun fact: Laika is based on the real Soviet space dog, who was a Terrier-Siberian Husky mix from the streets of Moscow, not the Laika breed.
Tags: Platformer - Metroidvania Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: The game's pace is very fast. The field of vision is restricted and zoomed in. Progression is unclear. The polish felt amateurish and the engine disappoints. Indie quality.
Your a dog why not love the game very challenging.
