The Sun at Night is an innovative 2D action platformer depicting an alternate history of Laika, the Soviet space dog.
For those who might not know the
history, in the late 1950’s the Soviets were pressured into a quick
follow-up to the success of Sputnik 1. As they scrambled to launch
Sputnik 2, they included plans to launch the first organism into orbit
as a way to up the ante on the Americans. They took stray dogs off the
street and put them through rigorous tests and training. One of these
strays was the dog we know as Laika. She was selected to be the first
dog in space and was launched aboard Sputnik 2 on November 3, 1957.
Unfortunately, in their haste, the Soviets did not incorporate any
method to return Laika to Earth. At the time, it was said she was
humanely euthanized after several days in orbit. It was revealed decades
later that she most likely died of heat exhaustion shortly after
leaving the Earth’s atmosphere.
