So this is a game I found today and I just wanted to share it and basically write a review on it

Story summary
—————————
Basically Journey to the Sun is based around a sun god religion, the Sun (God) is dying and you are the chosen angel to bring the 7 flames to the dying sun to revive it and protect the world from the growing darkness

My Review
——————
At first I found this and it looked like a normal typical obby, and you may think that but no, it is much more than just a typical obby, this is one of those rare games on roblox you see that have and original story, lore, gameplay style (kind of?).

It’s such a simple game, with simple mechanics and lore that’s easy to understand, yet it’s so compelling and I ended up finishing the game in one sitting, although it isn’t hard to do that. The game is quite short but it makes up for that with its extensive endgame content, which I haven’t played much of. But anyways this review is kind of cluttered and I’m not very good at these, but here are some other things I would like to say, the game is graphically beautiful, the lighting and shadows is done extremely well and fits with the overall theme and plot of the game, plus, the music, while the music is not original (which is totally fine) it fits perfectly with the game. Now with the mechanics, it’s a little eh but it works with what this game is, basically it’s simple obby mechanics but there is a little stuff added on to it, each time you collect one of the 7 flames, your jump height, and speed gets higher, the game requires you collect a certain amount of flames to progress to the next area, there is no barrier, because it isn’t needed, you just have to be able to jump far enough and high enough to get to the next area

That’s it basically, I’m sorry if my words are cluttered and unorganized, those are just my thoughts really, if I couldn’t convince you enough, here is the trailer

i liked it but at the end the parkour got really annoying due to how slippery the controls were and how long it took to land after jumping

I think that’s the point, you have to be powerful enough to get to the sun, but of course it would have to be harder to get there, it may be slippery but once you get the hang of it, it’s actually quite simple, one way is to watch your shadow, it’s a small circle and you will see it on the block, once you see it on the block just hold shift until you touch it and repeat the process

yeah, i know, it was extremely annoying :fr:

I tried it and from what I saw it was alright, I just thought there some aspects of it that were just really weird. The concept is great but some of the execution is strange, specifically with level design and building.

Yeah it can get a little weird sometimes, I also feel there should be some sort of unique animations instead of default roblox animations, then it would be a lot better, level design I’m not sure what could change, I liked it for the most part though
