Our take on Moonleap
The mystery framing gives the game an expansive feel, but its stated scope is a short platformer with 64 levels. The central appeal is a focused day-night puzzle mechanic rather than a broad adventure system.

Each jump changes the setting from day to night, altering how levels can be approached. The game contains 64 authored levels, along with secret and optional stages.
