unlabelledView post →finally getting around to streaming Solar Ash tonight! I honestly don't know a lot about this game, I'm going in mostly blind - I just know it's an EXTREMELY gorgeous 3D platformer with rail-grinding and a grapple beam. good enough for me! let's do it! 💛 twitch.tv/taffywabbit 💛
unlabelledView post →Solar Ash leaving Game Pass soon - get it now! Def finish-able across a weekend.
unlabelledView post →Pour one out for Heart Machine, the studio behind Hyper Light Drifter. They imploded catastrophically, but their final game - the gorgeous metroidvania Possessor(s) - is good stuff and going very cheap now. All their other finished games (including the underrated Solar Ash) are cheap too.
unlabelledView post →Happy 4th anniversary, Solar ash 🩵🩵🩵 Favorite game of all time, I redrew my first ever fanart I ever made for it Love you heart machine #Solarash #Heartmachine #Fanart #noai
unlabelledView post →Man it's a bummer to hear what happened with Heart Machine. Absoltly loved Hyper Light Drifter and Solar Ash. Breaker and Possessors didn't quite hit for me, but I was hoping they would get another shot at a new game.

unlabelledView post →Game 176: Solar Ash The simple act of moving and jumping around in this game is a joy. Movement is snappy, level design encourages keeping momentum, it's pure fun. That combined with a stellar, surreal art direction and a compelling world to be discovered, makes Solar Ash a very special experience.
unlabelledView post →SOLAR ASH! 3 YEARS! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! YEAAAAAH! ^^ This is such an important game to me, the comfort & vibes it brings are out of this world. Truly such a special experience, will love this game 'till I die 💙

unlabelledView post →I'm playing Solar Ash an the main character's voice kept bugging in one of those "where tf do I know your VA from" and when I looked it up of fuckin course this was the answer and now the game is just so weird for me to play lol. #IMBD #games #solarash

unlabelledView post →During my time at @tuatara.bsky.social I had the pleasure to work on #SolarAsh from @heartmachine.bsky.social on many different kind of VFXs. This one is a sneak peak of some combat VFXs for the game. Kudos to @klemen.bsky.social and Thomas from Tuatara #gamedev www.artstation.com/artwork/3qvelm
unlabelledView post →SOLAR ASH ⭐️ 9.5/10 oh... that's a top 10 game. that's a top 10 game that went completely under my radar for 3 years Gorgeous sci-fi art direction, great character design, and some of the tightest, most satisfying movement I've ever played. FULL REVIEW: backloggd.com/u/DeadLineSM...
unlabelledView post →Hyper Light Drifter is still such a fantastic atmospheric game. Shame that heart machine never had such a banger afterwards. Although I still like Solar Ash for its style and gamefeel, I’ll replay it every so often too. Possessor(s) had a strong style and writing but was just an okay metroidvania.
unlabelledView post →Hey guys! I've been really sloppy with my schedules and making some posts about my plans and all, but I am gonna stream on 2/4! Was thinking of playing either Solar Ash (an indie game) or playing Star Fox Adventures, which I've been wanting to revisit for some reason??

unlabelledView post →Just finished Solar Ash and man was this game a delight. It's message is quite powerful too. A short and sweet adventure that's a joy to play and has immaculate atmosphere.
unlabelledView post →Played the early access of Heart Machine’s new game. As someone who really dug Hyper Light Drifter & Solar Ash, unfortunately this just didn’t click with me. Atm it feels frustrating, confused, and lacks the sauce that made their previous games so special :/ My review: youtu.be/jhIjVy37eAo?...
unlabelledView post →Finished up Solar Ash, and what a great game. Had a good story if a sad yet hopeful one. Very much on par with Heart Machine and Hyper light drifter. Definetly was just a nice chill game to zoom around the levels and explore in. Very much would recommend for it's chill vibes and music!!
unlabelledView post →Hey guys, thanks for the good stream today! No clips from this one, but I had a good time going through more Solar Ash. You should play this game. I'm doing chat's art prompts tomorrow! Here's the prompts that everyone has given me for February (plus two from last July):
unlabelledView post →I played solar ash again after forever and forgot how autistic this game made me #solarash #Rei #mywife #doodle
unlabelledView post →Solar Ash is quite the game #solarash
unlabelledView post →Day 16: Best plot twist Silent Hill 2, Yakuza 2, Bioshock, MGS2, there are a lot of good plot twists out there. But shout-out to Solar Ash for not only being a fantastic game, but also for delivering it's twist in such a fantastic, gut-wrenching way. I can't recommend this game enough.
unlabelledView post →#blutoid Called it on Solar Ash, my latest "trying cause it's leaving Game Pass" game. Beautiful art style, the skating feels cool, and I like how they play with gravity in a 3D space. The rest of the game ranges from janky to flatly uninteresting 1/
unlabelledView post →Mod @gbmento.bsky.social has a new Indie Game of the Week feature and this one looks at Solar Ash by develoepr Heart Machine! Read why they think its a good intermediary game between Hyper Light Drifter and Breaker User Blog: www.giantbomb.com/solar-ash/30... #games #gaming #indiegames #solarash
unlabelledView post →At an abstract level, the #SolarAsh shading model is fairly similar to other toon models, but there were some specific qualities we were trying to hit: 1. Gradients and lots of them 2. Hard light cuts If these two seem at odds, you're not alone in thinking that. It took a healthy amount of back and forth with art to home in on the feature set that would let us hit those goals. 1/?

unlabelledView post →Solar Ash complete. A very fast paced game but not overly difficult. The ending surprised me tbh. I do wish however, that there was more to do post-game so I could enjoy more of Rei's new Echo outfit. #SolarAsh 🎮
unlabelledView post →I've been playing a game called Solar Ash lately and it's so ethereal. I love gliding and climbing everywhere in this strange peaceful environment. There's a lot of games in my library published by #Annapurna 🎮 #SolarAsh
unlabelledView post →Played and finished Solar Ash, a game by @heartmachine.bsky.social out of the two games that I've played that played I much prefer Hyper Light Drifter. Solar Ash was a pretty good momentum based platformer. I can't wait to play Hyper Light Breaker and see the culmination of their efforts out forth
unlabelledView post →Another #GamePass surprise. #SolarAsh throws you in without explaining itself very much, but rewards you with a beautiful minimal art style and some fluent gameplay moments… when it works well. Reminds me a bit of #Omno, PS2 era platformgame #Scaler and well, quite a few other minimally shaded #indiegames. Will give it more time on my #Xbox though!
unlabelledView post →Hyper Light Breaker & Solar Ash are part of the Steam Summer Sale! Go get yourself or a friend a @heartmachine.bsky.social game for a discounted price! 💙 HLB: store.steampowered.com/app/1534840/... SA: store.steampowered.com/app/1867530/...
unlabelledView post →beat Solar Ash somehow the game went completely under my radar but it has fun movement and was a great time, would recommend
unlabelledView post →Just started playing Solar Ash and MAN THIS GAME IS SO PRETTY
unlabelledView post →TONIGHT - 6PM EST - SOLAR ASH A fantastic game I never heard anyone ever talk about, or stream for that matter. Let's change that. See yall in a couple hours! www.twitch.tv/umbraborealis [ #SolarAsh | #Vtuber | #furry ]
unlabelledView post →The next non Sonic game I'd like to stream might be Solar Ash before Silksong, incredibly underrated game. store.steampowered.com/app/1867530/...
unlabelledView post →Solar Ash (2022) Developer: Heart Machine What I love about it: the gameplay is fun, but honestly, I can't get enough of how striking this game looks.
unlabelledView post →Ooh this looks so cool also reminds me of the character design of Solar Ash (a game by the same developer of Hyper Light Drifter)
unlabelledView post →12. Solar Ash Another one of those games where the simple act of moving around was enough to make me fall in love with it, not to mention how cool the whole aesthetic of the game is.
unlabelledView post →Metroid Dread // Inscryption Honorable mentions Sable and Solar Ash. I don’t even like Metroid Dread that much (it’s fine but Fusion is better) but it was the only 2021 game I played that year. But man Inscryption is SO GOOD.
unlabelledView post →I always prefer a game with good art direction. They age better, of the 3D zeldas wind waker looks the best, the early 3D generations look and play awfully the 2D games of that era hold up way better. Solar Ash is a recent game with a great style and why I'm looking forward to Hyper Light Breaker.
unlabelledView post →A sketch about the game Solar Ash. The game is really fun! I want to work on this more, but things have been getting busy. #how?art #solarash #art
unlabelledView post →On soday show @ 11am we'll be playing Solar Ash www.twitch.tv/jujoe1
unlabelledView post →While #LiesofP is definitely the game to WATCH, I spent my own time picking up some #SolarAsh again - quirky but nice game. And I returned to #JediSurvivor with the new Performance Mode boost. It feels *mostly* fluent, but also seems more glitchy, with some enemies not responding at all and some white flickering on screen. Nice to discover some more secrets in the world though. #gamepass #xbox #ps5
unlabelledView post →So I guess the plan of action here is to test a different game first and see if it's still doing it. Solar Ash was dropping frames and OBS was misbehaving too last night so there may be more at play here.
unlabelledView post →Solar Ash what little there is in this game is already like a 6/10 for me because the world is pretty boring etc etc but then even that gets overshadowed by glitches, poor optimisation, and bad game design just everything about this is so fucking undercooked man. heart machine is the studio ever
unlabelledView post →Solar Ash was an INCREDIBLE game, a solid 10/10 and up there with Outer Wilds for SURE (with similarities!) Breaks my heart then that the entire dev team was laid off. Genuinely beautiful game, in many ways, play ittttt!!!
unlabelledView post →Heart Machine, the studio behind Hyper Lift Drifter and Solar Ash, are in big trouble after laying off almost their entire staff, citing a loss of game funding.
unlabelledView post →📣 Buy Hyper Light Drifter and buy Solar Ash! 📣 These are two fantastically stylised action games (one is top-down, one is a 3D platformer) which are absolutely worth your time and money www.heartmachine.com/hyper-light-... annapurnainteractive.com/games/solar-...
unlabelledView post →fuck publishers etc etc but like... the last game was received super poorly, sold like shit and then they just abandoned it. Solar Ash didnt do great either. feels less like the state of the industry in 2026 affecting this and more like nobody has confidence in the studio
unlabelledView post →Spitballing the idea of streaming tomorrow or tonight. I really wanna replay Solar Ash, a nice Sonic adjacent game honestly. I still gotta upload the vods for Sayonara Wild Hearts and Sonic Mania so I'll probably let those export while I work on commissions.
unlabelledView post →Pacific Drive is very good. Drive a station wagon through the reality-warped Olympic Peninsula, Washington. Took me 32 hours to beat. DUSK is an old-school DOOM clone. Very solid game. Took me 10 hours to beat. Solar Ash is a 3D platformer action game with great movement. About 7 hours there.
unlabelledView post →this got me even more interested since that's another game I love, as far as movement systems and fighting the only one missing is Solar Ash atp lol Also even if you are only one dev AFAIC see the game and movement look good plus the ideas and references are fire so don't belittle yourself :p
unlabelledView post →Oh I LOVE Journey. Abzu is also up there for me too! For other shorter games, I like What Remains of Edith Finch, Sword of the Sea, Untitled Goose Game, Superliminal and Viewfinder. With a bit of combat, I really like Kena, the Pathless, Solar Ash, Stray and Seasons after Fall!
unlabelledView post →8. Solar Ash Surprisingly fun for a game about coming to terms with the inevitability of climate change and how to respond to that. Full review here: www.grouvee.com/user/18939-n...
unlabelledView post →Hah, I was being lazy pulling them from the spreadsheet and just searching by date. Ranked in my order of how much I enjoyed them (last does not mean bad game): Elden Ring Horizon: Zero Dawn Signalis Observation Solar Ash Axiom Verge The Stillness of the Wind The Uncertain: Last Quiet Day
unlabelledView post →taking my therapist’s advice and taking time off of my hobbies that were tanking my mental health, and decided to use this time to play through my backlog of games played through Solar Ash last night, super fun, super beautiful game. plus a great soundtrack which is always a plus for me
unlabelledView post →Last night I defeated the third boss in Solar Ash. Total War of the Worlds vibes. It was literally one of those Tripods with a laser beam and everything! Well, except the siren. I'm having more fun with this game than I thought. Gliding around and climbing giant bosses to beat em! 🎮
