This was a neat idea. The eclipse mechanic was both theme-fitting and very clever. When I found out I could do that, I spent most of my next several games trying to find at what places I could do it rather than timings which makes this game playable as strategic movements as well as reaction based. It would also give reply value to it I think as you can play again and again to slowly learn how to get further using strategy (I spent the first several games running around in a panic hopping as fast as I can haha). This would be fun to have as a mini game with several players all running from the sun, like a mario party last one standing minigame).

Glad you liked it! Yeah, really needed to add a better indication to use the eclipse to progress, seems more obscure in hindsight lol.
Really like that final idea. o.o Never saw it that way before, but can totally see this being alot more fun having a bunch of people running around tryna dodge the sun ha!
