Clever Supernatural Sniper Puzzle Game Offers Innovative Spatial Challenges But Lacks Replay Value
-
Children of the Sun is a supernatural sniper puzzle game where you control a single bullet per level to kill all enemies. It's clever and compulsive, though lacks sympathetic characters.
-
The visuals have a sharp, hand-drawn style with a deliberately grainy and stylised aesthetic reminiscent of PS2 games.
-
Gameplay centers around strategically chaining together bullet tricks like explosions, steering, and speed boosts to pull off the perfect kill sequence.
-
The scoring system and leaderboards aim for replayability, but replaying feels a bit like solving the same crossword puzzle repeatedly.
-
Overall it's a rare and innovative puzzle shooter, with satisfying spatial problems to solve, but limited reasons to return once you've succeeded.
