Rise and Shine is a game reminiscent of the Metal Slug series: Colorful graphics, fluid animation and smart shooting mechanics that redefine usual standards in horizontal shooters. The story about a boy with a talking gun in a highly gaming-inspired world leaves the door wide open for eye-winking humor and homages to other titles. The videos and screenshots on the website promise a lot of action and diverse gameplay moments that give this game enough charm and definition to tell itself apart from many similar genre-veterans.
