    This is the kind of experience where gamers will often know how to get to the base but will struggle mightily to remake the environment or defeat enemies while keeping all the darsanauts in line and alive. Moons Of Darsalon is clearly a labor of love and I like much of what it’s trying to do, even if I think the effort should have been spent on another core gameplay loop.

    Moons of Darsalon is recommended for those who enjoy old-fashioned, fiddly games where accidents and amusement occur in equal measure.

    This is an adventure created with love, based around uncommon ideas, that delivers a fun, cleverly-designed puzzle platformer.

    If you yearn for the days of the classic arcade platformer and don’t mind being abused by non-descript astronauts, then Moons of Darsalon could be worth a bit of your time (and money I guess). Just don’t expect the next classic in the genre.

    Moons Of Darsalon can be a fantastic game at times. Offering a fresh spin on a subgenera that often times feels stale and unenjoyable. However there are times that it can fall prey to the same troubles that other similar games have. With the AI being brain dead to the point that it makes the game unplayable. And the challenges on some levels feeling a step too far too soon. And the decision to include AI-Art when they already had decent artwork made will never stop feeling odd to me.

    Well-made homage to the early days of gaming with an unfortunate use of AI art. Moreover, its physics system hampers movement while AI behavior can be erratic, making a lot of the puzzling a frustrating experience.

    Truly fun and original, not like the majority of indies that copy each other, plus very good graphics and animations.

    It took me 23 hours to complete all challenges at 100%. Finishing the game itself isn't too hard, but doing it with all challenges is tough.It took me 23 hours to complete all challenges at 100%. Finishing the game itself isn't too hard, but doing it with all challenges is tough. However, I appreciate that because it provides a lot more hours of fun.

    Incredible graphics and animations, really fresh mechanics, and nice music.
