Our take on LUNARK
Rather than treating a platformer as a sequence of movement challenges alone, LUNARK combines traversal with puzzles, traps, character encounters, upgrades, and a rebellion-centered mystery. Its science-fiction setting and rotoscoped cutscenes also depart from the genre’s more minimal presentation.
What is LUNARK?
LUNARK is a pixel-art sci-fi adventure set on a distant planet controlled by a totalitarian regime.
Players guide Leo, a courier with unusual abilities and an unclear past, through environments such as a dystopian city, alien caves, ruins, a flying prison, and an alien forest. Movement combines running, jumping, hanging, climbing, rolling, and shooting. Progress involves navigating traps, solving puzzles, meeting characters, fighting enemy droids, and finding upgrades that expand health and weapon capabilities. The adventure presents a story about revolution, survival, and the origins of humanity’s new home, with animated pixel-art scenes and rotoscoped cutscenes.
