Prepare for a vibrant downpour of arcade fun in Sunshower on Xbox, a unique and colourful action game from developer and publisher NOKOGODO.
Available right now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, this casual arcade experience challenges you to help a charming robot named Hinata survive a relentless rainstorm using the power of… a plant growing out of its head?
Available for just £4.19, Sunshower offers a fresh take on score-chasing arcade action. Your goal is to use the plant installed on Hinata’s head to reach for the sky, presumably growing taller or extending upwards, while managing raindrops and aiming for the highest score possible to stop the rain from washing away the world.
The exact opposite to the brilliant Rain on Your Parade? You bet!
Grow, Collect, and Chain Power-Ups!
Sunshower’s gameplay revolves around this unique plant mechanic and strategic use of power-ups. You’ll need to collect, combine, and chain these power-ups effectively to survive the storm. Gain strength to carry more raindrops (perhaps using them to grow?), increase your speed, or deploy a handy umbrella to deflect a falling drop.
Every playthrough promises to be unique, demanding quick reflexes and smart power-up management to climb the leaderboards.
A World That Blooms With Your Score
Adding to the charm, Sunshower features a traditionally illustrated watercolour background that transforms as you rack up points. The music also evolves, creating a dynamic audio-visual experience that rewards skilful play.
Interestingly, Hinata, the robot you control, will apparently comment on your performance as you play together, adding a touch of personality to the score-chasing action.
More Than Just Score Chasing
Beyond the main mode, Sunshower offers more to unlock:
- Alternate Mode: A more challenging single-player experience.
- Customisations: 8 different options to personalise Hinata.
- Local Multiplayer: Team up with a friend in co-op to reach a combined high score, or compete head-to-head to see who reigns supreme in the rain.
