Description



Burning with anger, THE GIRL wages a one-woman war against THE CULT, taking them down cultist by cultist, bullet by bullet, until she reaches her true target: THE LEADER. Along the way she will unravel the dark truth about this mysterious order and the atrocities committed by them in the name of their master.

In this tactical third-person puzzle-shooter you assume control of one bullet, guiding it through increasingly complex and challenging levels to kill cultists, trigger traps, and reshape the environment. Every shot counts and ruthless precision is rewarded. Taking down THE CULT is deeply satisfying; doing it with style even more so.

PLAN YOUR APPROACH

Tactical sniping, puzzle solving, and light stealth collide in Children of the Sun to create a third-person shooter like no other. You only have a single bullet to complete each level, but you can re-aim on impact, curve around obstacles, accelerate to break through armor, and more to really make that one crucial shot count.

RITUAL MURDER

Lose yourself in a dark, twisted tale of revenge as you hunt down the nefarious CULT. Children of the Sun accompanies its unique one-bullet action with an evocative, mystery-filled storyline that unravels as you exact your revenge on the people who made your life hell and relentlessly pursue the enigmatic LEADER.

KILL, KILL, AND KILL AGAIN

Children of the Sun is lethally replayable by design. There are multiple solutions to each level, encouraging creativity and experimentation, with a satisfying scoring system that rewards accuracy and efficiency. Then, you can check the online leaderboards to see how you stack up against your friends and the rest of the world.

If you like puzzles and a raw, grungy aesthetic, this game is for you. If you like Suda51, it's also for you. For sum reason. It's raw and punk. That is the reason. It's also very cerebral and kinetic at the same time.

Short, mouse-only aiming puzzle game with a purposefully garish and noisy visual design. Story is told through expressive, feverish hand drawn cutscenes without dialogue, and it is about The Traumatised Bullet

Gives acid trip vibes, plays like an arcade puzzler, best of both worlds. The concept is fun, gameplay snappy. Levels become more and more convoluted as you progress. The force shield cultists are bastards. Fun game and

Honestly i lean more towards neutral instead of No, but this is the only option so eh. The gameplay itself is fine with some solid mechanics, and the story that exists with the game is nice enough with the art style. I

I truly love this game. Yes I only have 6 hours at time of writing the review, but the game itself is quite short. It is a very interesting puzzle game and working out the solutions is a bunch of fun. I doubt the game
