Is The Sun and Moon worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Platformer fans who want movement based on momentum and gravity reversal
- Players who enjoy difficult stages requiring spatial problem-solving
- Completionists seeking time goals across a large level set
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want consistently low difficulty may hit a wall when levels introduce spikes, deep drops, and extreme heights.
- Players seeking a story-driven or combat-focused structure may lose interest in the repeated orb-collection and wormhole objectives.
- Players who prefer a strictly ordered campaign may dislike choosing among non-linear level unlocks.
Our take on The Sun and Moon
The bounce point arrives when the movement mechanic becomes a precision requirement. Players who cannot translate preserved momentum and reversed gravity into controlled launches will meet the wall in the later, brutally difficult levels.
What is The Sun and Moon?
The Sun and Moon is a platformer centered on diving into the ground.
This mechanic reverses gravity while preserving momentum, allowing movement below surfaces and launches into the air. Each level sets the same objective: collect three orbs and enter the wormhole. Spikes, endless drops, and extreme heights raise the challenge. More than 150 levels range from lower-difficulty stages to brutally difficult sections, requiring control mastery and unconventional problem-solving. A non-linear unlock system lets players explore levels in different orders. Three medal tiers add time goals to each stage. Minimalist graphics keep the presentation focused on gameplay, while the music develops as progress is made.
