Lunar Station

I really like these indie games with retro graphics, the art is simply and beautiful, the puzzles is simply too, but the necessity of think fast to solve it and not get sucked by that black matter and the creepy sounds makes it have an amazing atmosphere and experience. I loved it! 

very good atmosphere, and good tension in the puzzles.
I was a bit disappointed by the end, though...

Está genial, solo quisiera poder descargarlo 

I'm having a wonderful time. Escape level is great. It's scary and fun.

(SPOILER) If I had to guess, the red pill in the end is some kind of a new future antipsychotic and the Darkness was just a psychosis caused by long separation from Earth/loneliness.

Is this your first game project? If so, I'm definitely impressed.

It's really cool how much tension you manage to create with such minimalist design elements. If anything the spartan graphics actually add to the overall feeling of alienation and dread.

10/10, Excellent game.

Nice horrorpuzzle!

So, calming that playthrough was. I didn't realize until I posted the video that for some reason the audio wasn't playing? It must have been my recording stuff or something. Nonetheless it was a very cute and fun puzzle game despite the void coming after you. I really enjoyed it. 

/edit

Just played and reviewed this game. I found it pretty unnerving (that atmospheric soundtrack!) and the core mechanic was solid and easy to understand. Love the graphics — totally my style!

I think it needs 'something more' if it's to transition to a full game. Maybe less linear progression, maybe a few more mechanics. I can imagine this being a great handheld game — i.e. Switch.

Spacing out the frantic levels with contemplative levels was a superb design choice.  You can introduce new mechanics then throw the player into an arena where they must put what they learned to the test.

I greatly enjoyed the game, the sound and art design was excellent and on point.

I found the "intro" levels sufficent however it sometimes felt that we had some "boring" levels where there was no real incentive to do them at a fast pace, maybe add a timer for speed run options?

overall its a great game and a great idea, well done!

Really good atmosphere. The puzzles require quick thinking but never feel unfair.

Great little game! A good use of sound and close calls to create some intense moments. Thanks! 

I really like the game design :) you let the player know in a small amount of steps, what he needs to know in the next level. Just a small "beep" let me know, that some of the lasers are time limited, just for example. The art is simple but the player sees everything he needs and lets you focus on time to develop more levels and puzzles :) keep up your work! 

That was really cool! I waited until nighttime with headphones to play it properly.

I liked the idea quite a bit. I'm kinda torn on how I feel...

First of all, I love the graphics and the atmosphere. Totally nailed it. 

However, when it comes to horror games, I much prefer less challenge and gameplay, and more about being in the space. The reason I say that is because having to retry over and over really kills the scariness for me. That takes me out of the immersive mindset and into a more game-y one. 

But on the other hand, would there be much of a point to this if it was too easy? I do think multiple difficulties a la Celeste could do the trick, but I'm not sure. 

Anyways, this was really enjoyable despite dying again and again, lol. Thanks!

I really liked it. My experience was very different to the one that Brandon had, but that's partially because I'm used to retrogaming, I guess, so semi-monochrome low-res art is a plus for me. That the shadow could have different speeds was very interesting, because at the beginning of each level I was always expecting to see what I was dealing with. The core of this game seemed to be to plan ahead what I would need to do, like a maze, and I like that, but for that to be more difficult you could give the players the ability to see a bit further ahead, which would give the designer more freedom to make more harder and complex situations.

I'd recommend taking a look at Duskers. That game has a vaguely similar premise, in theme and mechanics, but much more developed and is very good at that, with drones lost in space trying to get in and out of spaceships that are breaking apart. Your game is quite unique though, so it would be interesting to see it grow. It'd be a blast to play it on mobile :)

The core idea of trying to navigate under the threat of the darkness works well but most of the time the game felt more tedious than scary. I understand what purpose the waiting/holding the player back serves in emphasizing the horror but I feel there are ways to do that without being unengaging. It certainly not necessary in the between-y segments. I get they're meant to serve as a break in the tension but all your left with is the waiting and slow movement. Plus the bright white low res art style never really felt that terrifying.

Here's my gameplay.

Your game dont wanna work smh.
