Evaluation

EarthNight launched on December 2, 2019 and received two major post-launch updates. Version 2.0 shipped on July 3, 2020, adding a full outfit system with over 40 costumes and new music. Version 3.0 shipped on August 26, 2021, which was a substantial update adding two-player local co-op, AI companion mode, playable tutorials, an in-ship altimeter for selecting starting atmosphere layers, and seasonal lobby themes — essentially delivering features the developer described as part of their "full vision" for the game. Since that August 26, 2021 update, there have been no further developer communications, no new updates, and no unreleased DLC listed on the store (the only DLC is the soundtrack, which released on February 10, 2020). The developer has made no announcements of future content, and the framing of Version 3.0 — described as realizing their "full vision" of the game — suggests this was intended as the completion of their development goals. With no activity from the developer since August 2021 and no outstanding commitments, the game appears to be a finished product.
Evidence

About this game

Dragons have taken over the Earth!


It's up to Sydney and Stanley to stop them.



EarthNight is an illustrated procedurally generated platformer that takes place in a dystopian future just after the dragon apocalypse. Humans have been exiled to space, forced to live in orbit above the planet. But Sydney and Stanley have had enough! They’ve decided to skydive back down to the planet, taking out as many dragons as they can along the way.



Each run begins in space. You must traverse five layers of the atmosphere on the perilous journey down to Earth alternating between skydiving and running on the backs of dragons. Your path to EarthNight will always be different and riddled with danger.

Game Features


• Jump and dash your way across the backs of dragons on your way down to Earth in classic 2D side-scrolling action.



• Unlock more than 25 gameplay-altering powerups that will aid you on your journey as you slay dragons and discover secrets.



• Experience a unique run no matter how many times you play thanks to near-infinite variations of hand designed, procedurally generated levels.



• Explore five layers of the atmosphere with more than 40 enemies, more than 15 unique dragons and hundreds of scraps and items, all brought to life by artist Mattahan, who meticulously painted each of EarthNight’s 10,000+ frames of art and animation.



• Enjoy an original, exciting soundtrack intertwined into gameplay, including more than 20 songs written and performed by chiptune musician Chipocrite.
