I had a really good time with LUNARK. If you come to this from the nostalgia angle and have been longing for a 2D platformer with slow and methodical buffered inputs like in the old days, then you will enjoy it. Even more if you have a particular fondness for Flashback, since the game is practically a love letter to it -- not just through the gameplay but all over the place, from the lightness in narration and worldbuilding, the consistent sound and visual design to the rotoscoped cutscenes. As far as I'm concerned, what I saw in the trailer was what I got. And about that, I want to give a nod to the developer. This was a perfect scope for a solo dev, doing exactly what they set out to do without overcommitting. A pleasure to experience.
