Icarus vs The Sun
Famed inventor Daedalus and his young son Icarus have been imprisoned on Crete for many years, but thanks to Daedalus' ingenuity it's time to escape.
Unfortunately, they now need to make a perilous flight across the sea... and the gods don't look kindly upon arrogant men who fly too close to the sun. Μαλάκας!

I really liked the game:
-The art is neat, strong references to mythology, love it
- It's not as easy as it may seem, especially after defeating the first enemy.
- The music is thrilling.
- Theme nailed perfectly
Defects:
- The controls aren't the best to me: I have a mini keyboard and giant hands(i get the irony of that) and I wasn't able to aim properly. I would have used a mouse input.
- It wasn't clear that I WAS THE SUN. I was trying to move Icarus and Daedalus in the beginning: the game starts with the two of them and there was no feedback. Even though it may seem clear to you, it doesn't go the same way for players: guide them as they were kids.
If you'd like to test our game it's called "The Castle of Good".
Thanks!
