FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Playing
How do I play?
Frost melts in sunlight and can only stand in shade. Tap a square to walk there through the shade. Drag the sun along the ring to change the time of day, and the pillars' shadows turn with it like a sundial. Get Frost from shadow to shadow until you reach home.
Why won't the sun move?
The sun stops if moving it would leave Frost standing in the sun. Walk Frost into a shadow that will still be there at the new time first, then keep turning.
Can I turn time backwards?
Yes. The sun moves both ways, and some levels need you to go forward and then back again.
How do stars work?
Every level has a minimum number of sun hours needed to solve it, calculated by a solver. Finish on that target to earn three stars. Undo and restart are free and unlimited, so experiment as much as you like.
What are snowflakes, crates, clouds and braziers?
New mechanics that unlock as you play. Snowflakes (level 6) must all be collected before the door home opens. Crates (level 16) can be pushed and cast their own shadow. Clouds (level 31) drift with the clock and shade what's beneath them. Braziers (level 46) keep the squares around them always lit. Each one is introduced with a short animated demo.
How many levels are there?
Endless. Levels are generated from their number, so level N is the same for every player, and every level is checked by a solver to make sure it has a real solution. A new world opens every 20 levels.
What is the daily puzzle?
A new puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Solve it on consecutive days to build your streak, and each daily puzzle you finish gives you a hint.
Hints and ads
How do I get hints?
You earn +1 hint for each new level finished with three stars and for each daily puzzle you complete. If you run out, you can choose to watch a short ad for 2 hints.
Why are there ads?
Ads keep Sunturn free. There are no ads during a puzzle: an occasional ad may appear after you finish a level, never in your first few levels, and never more than once every few minutes. Rewarded ads are always optional.
Can I play offline?
Yes. The whole game works offline. You only need a connection to watch rewarded ads.
Progress and privacy
Is my progress saved? Can I move it to a new phone?
Progress is saved automatically on your device. Sunturn has no accounts or cloud sync, so progress can't currently be transferred between devices, and it is lost if you delete the app.
What data does Sunturn collect?
Sunturn itself collects nothing. Google AdMob, which serves the ads, may collect device and ad data. See the Privacy Policy for details and how to control it.
Which languages are supported?
English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. The game follows your device language.
