This is a seriously good game. Really challenging on some levels but so satisfying when you figure out a working path to kill them all. Very unique combination of strategy/shooter/puzzle that I've never seen before. There's not a lot of story and it's told predominantly through images, but there's enough there to understand the sniper's motivation and the gameplay is so much fun it really doesn't matter that there's not a ton of story behind it. Absolutely loved it and would highly recommend to anyone that likes a challenge!
Children of the Sun is a fine sniper puzzle game. I really dig the vibe and the style. It is quite short, and the new version of enemies (that can move your shots away) only appeared almost at the end, so you cannot enjoy a different approach against them in different scenarios that much. I also appreciate that you can finish this game with just one hand. Nice game overall.
A decent sniping game, in spite of its ghastly appearance, completely incomprehensible storytelling and extremely repetitive audio design. It is quite short, which I consider a good thing for this game. It has leaderboards for each level, which is cool, so there is some replayability there for those who like that.
