Luna and the Moonling Reviews

Distictive art syle. Relaxing atmosphere. Reasonably challenging puzzle, block-pushing gameplay. Still has some bugs and is probably a little too expensive for what it is. I still recommend the game, however. https://youtu.be/rDP9WlpmCsY

This game seemed like a good puzzle game to kill some time while also relaxing. Alas, I was put off by game breaking decisions or mistakes during the early levels. For example, time challenges (optional overall but without them game becomes too boring) require you to complete level within specified time limit. Same level plays cutscene/dialogue video and after that you find a nasty surprise - timer just kept on going during this cutscene. There is also that feel to the game that gives off a mobile game vibe. Or some sort of bad port from the consoles. I wouldn't recommend the game as it is. It is playable and my negatives can be ignored by some. As for me, I went for the refund.

Tip for gamer guys: if you're looking for a game for your wife or girlfriend who "doesn't like computer games", this is a great choice! Great game! A very refreshing change from the relentless pace and mindless violence in many other games. It's a lot of fun to just relax and solve puzzles at your own pace without anyone shooting at you or some artificial time constriant. The colors, graphics, and cutscenes are very well done and really pop. It's very smooth and polished all aroundwith a cute and peaceful atmosphere. The gameplay is fun and interesting and the puzzles can be very challenging. Using two characters really adds to the potential complexity of the pouzzles. Highly recommended. It's easy to jumop in and out, so it's a nice way to kill either five minutes or five hours while de-stimming from regular life!

Luna and the Moonling is a charming puzzle game that fails in too many ways for a recommendation. The action is slow, yet mistakes are costly—very bad for a puzzle game. The camera fails to show all relevant puzzle elements at once. I quit after getting shot by an offscreen enemy. You can collect the fallen star in each level while exploring it, and get the low steps and low time stars on a second playthrough. But you can't get all three at once. This game isn't bad, but it's not good either. Just decent. If you want a good action-puzzle game, play a Lode Runner title. If you want an adventure game with puzzles, play a Zelda title. If you want a pure puzzle game, try the Draknek puzzle bundle.

It's a nice enought puzzle game. The story is none existent after the intro cutscene and it's just puzzles after that. Main issue is that there is no undo button. If you have to push 10 cubes around in a specific order to bounce a shot around, then having to redo the entire level because you pushed 1 title to far and can't get the cube off the wall anymore is kinda frustrating. There are checkpoints in the level but often there either is no checkpoint or you still have so mucht to do if you died on the last step of a puzzle that it doesn't actually help that much.

I really like this game, it reminds me a bit of ittle dew, the puzzles are deceptively simple and yet get so complicated. The Music is beautifully done and very soothing. It also plays very well on a Linux platform. When this developer makes more games I will be purchasing them, based solely on this game.

I have been playing this game for 1 week, mainly on my Twitch stream. This game is a cute puzzle game with two adorable characters. But don't be deceived - it is a challenging, scratch your head and scream in frustration at your computer screen puzzle game. As with anything that is Early Access, there are things aren't quite there but the team at Greyborn Studios are quick to respond to the community and are really passionate around the game. 100% worth picking up this game.

Very entertaining, colorful, and peaceful little puzzle game. The puzzles are satisfying and also challenging once you get deeper into it. This one will not give anybody nightmares or anxiety issues. I do recommend it, and thanks for the Linux support!

To put out a PC game in this state is unacceptable! This looked like a cool puzzle game so I bought it on a deep discount and I regret doing that. First of all I would like to say that some of decisions made by devs (gameplay wise) are awful. You cannot move the camera more then they intended and that results in you making mistakes and dying or missing something you see later because of the camera. To make things worse you have to restart the whole level when you make a mistake and in the longer levels you cannot restart from checkpoint because there is a bug that prevents that. Unfair and frustrating. I got to level 24 and lost more time on restarting and broken checkpoints then actually playing the game.I saw people reported other bugs later in the game. At the time of writing this review it looks like this game is abandoned by the developers.If I am wrong and the fix the game I will edit this review. Do not buy this mess of a game.

The game and puzzles are great and I would have definitely recommended it if it did not have big bugs. There is checkpoint in longer levels but restarting from it completely freezes the game. This turns the later levels into a huge waste of time. Completing the levels you can get 3 stars. One for using minimal steps, one for finding hidden star and one star for completing level in minimum time. The star you get for minimum time is also buggy. During level there are cutscenes(it shows what you have activated by your last action) and timer does not stop during the cutscene. I must also note you can skip the cutscene and still get the star. Still this makes cutscenes an annoying part of the game that you try to skip as quick as possible. Except these two issues the game itself is great. If they ever fix these I will turn this into positive review.
