Lunnye Devitsy

LD is a metroidvania-lite platformer thats exploration based with good music and ambient sounds. Basically you are running and jumping all over the map trying to find items to help you find a way back to your moon. The visual design is distinctive and well done, if it's to your taste that's another matter entirely though. If you are a genre fan you chould check it out.

This is an interesting game. The premise is very simple - you are a little alien that drops off the moon and you need to find your way back. The gameplay is 2D platform style, and involves exploring a huge floating mountain trying to find 6 different ways to return to the moon at the top of the map. The game offers very little instruction, tasking you with figuring out everything on your own. None of the tasks are overly difficult, but some require thorough exploration, experimentation and deduction. Overall, the vibe of the game is very laid back and mysterious, which is probably its best aspect. I love that there's a game out there in 2013 that offers no explanations and just wants you to explore and figure stuff out on your own. It reminds me of the good old days, playing the original Zelda and Metroid for the first time. Playing a game with a sense of mystery and no hand-holding is a rarity now, and I guess that's what I like about this one so much. It's probably not for everyone, ...

It was tough not to recommend this game, because I did enjoy it for a while. At first I really appreciated how organic the game was: there were no clear directions, controls were written in the ground, no options, and you had to hold down esc to make your screen slowly fade into an exit. The game had nice spare looking style and sound. The goal in the game is to return to the moon in a few different ways. The first few puzzles were extremely simple (for one of them you just wait in a post office and the mailman delivers you to the moon), but then a majority of them ended up being exercises in tedium. Lunnye Devitsy is lacking. It has open world that is not interesting and stops being mysterious fairly early on. Sometimes messing up means having to trek back and forth between the boring areas. The controls and character are also a bit finicky and take more maneuvering than I think should be required. There are also puzzles that are all about guess work rather than puzzle solving (a c...

Very pleasant and interesting game. Everything seemed really nice, until the last stages... Which led me to rage! I can not remember when i used so much bad words last time... Anyway, i find this title definitely worth recommending. Solid position in the library. My rating for Lunnye Devitsy is 7/10

Simple yet confusing and finally torturous at the end. Perhaps too simple as it soon becomes a tedious task of collecting nicknacks and repetitive platforming back and forth through the same areas all while trying to explore completely unexplained goals and unclear interactions. They don't tell you that you are trying to get to the moon in multiple ways or that you can use up to interact with some things - had to look that up online. It seems rather obtuse in retrospect, but at least the soundtrack is nice. Oh? What's this? Free soundtrack in the game files? That's nice of them. The last puzzles require skill, but one of those last puzzles depends on ambiguous mechanics which will require senseless repetition when it's completely unclear why it fails. What seems to be the exact same action produces the needed results only the rare time out of dozens of attempts and, if you screw up the platforming above in the wrong way, you are forced to do it all over again. At least in finishing th...

Lunnye Devitsy is a minimalistic exploration platformer that looks gorgeous and atmospheric at first, but gets old fast due to its disappointingly bland level design, tedious gameplay and lack of any interesting game mechanics. [list] [*] [b]For an exploration game it offers so disappointingly little.[/b] Aside from a different tint and a few unique background props there's little that defines one area from another. Large portions of the world are little more than an abstract mess of shapes that only pad out the experience with boring filler. [*] [b]Gameplay is basic and offers no fair challenge.[/b] The premise is simple: you fall off the moon, and from then on your goal is to explore and find ways to get back up, which is about the only interesting part about gameplay. Each way is unique and requires its own approach, although some are very difficult to figure out without a walkthrough since the game gives no instructions. The rest is just running around and collecting items until...

What a boring game. No plot, no purpose, no puzzles, nothing interesting at all. It's like Exile but without the puzzles or inventory. It's like Limbo but without the atmosphere, sound effects or puzzles. It's like a 2D version of Kairo but without the puzzles. You wander round and round and round this huge map with no clue as to where you're going or what you're supposed to be doing, occasionally picking up collectables. But you're not told what they're for or how many you have to collect, or even if you have to. Some give you new abilities, but you're not told what they are, so every time you pick something up, you have to stand and press every key on your keyboard to see if anything different happens. And it's S...L....O....W.... your character walks like he's wading through treacle, even after you pick up the "run" powerup (which I wasn't aware I'd even done until I read on a forum about it) and you can just hold an arrow key down for minutes at a time as your character crosse...

I have always loved platformers that look amazing, and Boss Baddie's title Lunnye Devitsy definetly makes that list. Now if you're looking for a story that tells you every single piece of the puzzle, you're not going to find that in this title, but you will have to go looking for them. See, one day, a little Moon Maiden, our heroine of the story, falls off the moon! On a normal day this would seem like a serious misfortune, but our little friend never fears, because throughout the bizarre world below there just so happens to be several helpful ways of getting back home. With helping a geologist find his moon marbles, a scientist to build a rocket and blastoff, a relay station to get its message out, discovering that gravity has some very "loopy" consequences, finding a springboard with some astonishing power, or having the postman make a very long-distance delivery, getting home has never been such an adventure! Even more so, because once you've made it home all those ways, you'll disc...

I bought this game as part of a bundle along with Wake, for $5. Yeah, this is one of those games (along with Wake) that you kinda are willing to spend money on just because you can. "Ah, I got like 5 bucks left... Can't really buy anything. I guess I'll just take this..." At first I was intrigued and relaxed. But upon only finding half of the ways to get to the moon, the game because so boring, I had to quit in order to save some sanity. So, I got a better computer and played this on it as one of the first games to test its intensity of RAM (since it lagged like crazy on my laptop). So yes, I gave it a second go. Appearently, it was not my laptop... The game was just so SLOW paced that you can't get anywhere in a decent time. The level design along with the slow paced gameplay makes finding all the endings take probably more than several days. That's just not how to design a game. I explored every area and got two powerups, then there was nothing to do, so I stopped. For good. I will...

A very nice sandbox open-world platformer with a nice atmosphere. Very simple in gameplay, but quite fun. However, it's not a game to be played for hours, but rather a small little game for an evening or two. Hence I do recommend it, but only on a sale.
