Bring Back The Sun is a simple but challenging 2D Platformer.
The focus in this game is on jumping right and only that.
No enemys, no spikes, no wall jumps, no double jumps.
Just simple jumps to get through the levels.
You can expect 1-3 hours playtime for your first run depending on your skill level.
