Join the revolution in this cinematic sci-fi platformer





Set on a distant planet ruled by a totalitarian regime, LUNARK is a modern take on the 2D cinematic platformer genre of the '90s. As Leo, a courier with unique abilities and a mysterious past, you'll run, jump, hang, climb, roll, and shoot through gorgeously animated pixel-art environments ranging from a dystopian megalopolis to eerie caves to an alien forest. You must overcome traps, solve puzzles, earn upgrades, and battle enemy droids, and when you're not fighting for survival, you'll meet a cast of colorful characters who will put Leo's allegiances to the test. Uncover the dark origin of humanity's new home and the truth about yourself in this epic sci-fi adventure!

While this game is good, the checkpoints are very frustrating. And no saving mid-level when I have to stop playing, or WANT to stop playing because the game is frustrating, is just not acceptable in 2025. Two examples of this are on one level where you are running away from a boss, which is fun, but if you die, you start a screen above the boss intro, and have to drop down to the boss room. And I died more than once dropping down to the boss room because of the clunky controls. The second example is where I'm trying to fight droids, which are bullet sponges, and when I died from one of them, I respawned, but then there were two shooting at me. I uninstalled it at that point. Not fun.

An even lower pixel version of an early 90's action adventure in the vain of Flashback or Out of this World.
