Lunistice

About

Lunistice is a 3D platformer with a whimsical art style that channels the aesthetic of 90s consoles. You control Hana, a tanuki, leaping through colorful levels filled with floating hazards and goofy enemies. Combat is light and punchy, relying on quick jumps and basic attacks. The game emphasizes tight controls and momentum, as you navigate surreal dreamscapes packed with floating islands and shifting geometry. The retro-inspired visuals stand out most, with pixelated textures and character models that feel hand-drawn but lively. Developed by A Grumpy Fox and published by Deck13 Interactive, it launched in November 2022 to a mixed but curious audience. Players praise the smooth mechanics and charming look but note the short campaign and repetitive level design. At its best, it’s a nostalgic trip with solid platforming that works well on Switch handheld mode.
