- Those who do not enjoy repeated experimentation may lose interest when working through alternate solutions and efficiency scores.

- Fans of character-progression RPGs may find the focus on projectile control and level puzzles too narrow.
Our take on Children of the Sun
The bounce point arrives when a level demands one carefully planned shot rather than conventional combat. Players expecting spare ammunition, a broad weapon selection, or continuous firefights may hit the wall when a missed trajectory forces another attempt.
What is Children of the Sun?
Control a single bullet across increasingly complex third-person puzzle-shooter levels as a woman hunts the cult responsible for ruining her life.
Each stage gives one shot, with options to redirect the projectile after impact, bend its trajectory around obstacles, accelerate through armor, activate traps, and reshape the environment. Light stealth, tactical sniping, and puzzle solving combine as players plan routes through cultist positions. Multiple solutions support experimentation, while a scoring system tracks accuracy and efficiency. A revenge story unfolds as the pursuit advances toward the cult’s leader. Online leaderboards provide comparisons with friends and other players, and replaying levels is part of the game’s structure.
