Great game, really good idea for this theme !
concept, art and gameplay all feel pretty good !
Great art and fun gameplay!
Really cool visuals and UI🌞
As a greek mythology nerd, this game makes my heart happy! The sun art made me chuckle.
Fun!
Shooting the across the screen as the sun is very satisfying :)
Really love the art and theme! The gameplay is quite good too, can get tricky at times. Perhaps the aiming would have been a little more intuative if it was controlled up/down rather than left/right? I'm not sure, you'd have to test. Also maybe it would nice if you could see where you're aiming when you charge up the dash move. Those are just minor nitpicks though, this is a great, well-polished entry!
very fun and short game, i enjoyed it
Made it to the end but you really should reconsider the keyboard bindings. As a german keyboard owner my Z and Y are switched so I have to play in a really weird position. Apart from that cool game :D
Such a clever concept and a lovely art style. Good Job!
Good entry! love the art style and your take on the theme! congrats
Ok this is my favorite entry so far, εύγε! Your presentation is god tier. I loved the small details like the use of greek alphabet for the names, α/Ω measuring the time and that wave thingy on the bottom of the screen.
nice stuff
Love the mythological reference.
The graphics and art in this game are amazing! The gameplay is really fun as well.
Love this! Very cool idea and it fits so well with the theme with the story you picked! Nice job!
Clever concept executed very well. Enjoyed the story aspect. One minor note was that I had no idea how to press start in the beginning.
Really nice game. I love the art style, and the inspiration from actual myths is something I don’t see often. Nice work!
The visuals and music are AMAZING, so well polished! Looks like a finished game. It would be nice to have a controls menu ingame as I wasn't sure what I was meant to be doing at the start.
Very creative! especially liked the nice touches like the greek alphabet and the cute wee sprites
Everything about this is grandiose! Art, Music, Concept! Such a simple game so well executed
