Here's what the gaming industry is meant to be all about, developers trying to be innovative and different! And even though Children of the Sun might not have longevity, it sure has captured my imagination.

If you look closely to the visuals you'll see that the graphics are pretty basic all round, but that is overshadowed by the psychedelic art design. Everything from the colours, lighting, sound and definitely the story projects a surreal atmosphere that, even though might not be for everyone, sure is original. But not as original as the game play. The mechanics of moving around and shooting people with a sniper rifle are simple, but the overall premise plays more like a puzzle game. You have to really think and plan each move before stringing together that one 'magic bullet' shot. I did start to find the process a bit tedious after a few levels, but this will definitely appeal to perfectionists out there, as there plenty of avenues to tackle each level.

Whether you are a fan or not, games like this deserve praise for originality. And since the price is so cheap, especially when its on sale, it is well worth giving it a go.
