    The goal is always straightforward - collect the three orbs in the level and jump into the wormhole - but spikes, endless drops and impossible heights make this more and more difficult.    … Expand

    We've never seen a platformer like this work so well. Original and challenging, it deserves an opportunity if you like the genre.

    Snack size puzzler with too little variety in every aspect, whose challenge levels are as high as the potential for frustration.

You are a ball, and you have to collect other balls in order to progress. You can move, jump, and hold a button (or right trigger on controller) to 'anti-gravity' through walls, floors and ceilings. Sound simple right? Wrong. The levels are a piece of architectural art. Each and every one you really have to check and puzzle out how you want to play them out. The difficulty is quite challenging, to sometimes very hard. Some levels really take some practice in order to complete them, as often you need to use your momentum and some exact timing to place yourself in the right position. This makes it a lot of fun. I'd say this is one of those games that on occasion frustrates you but you can never stop playing it.… Expand

    The Sun and Moon is a game that beautifully blends physical skill with cognitive problem solving.

    While the mechanics of the game sing well    The Sun and Moon is a game that beautifully blends physical skill with cognitive problem solving.

    While the mechanics of the game sing well with skill based actions, each level is cleverly designed to have a multiple solutions with one being the absolute best. This allows the game to function both as a platformer as well as a puzzle game surprisingly well. In addition, the art for the game has a great sense of style giving us a strong mood throughout the experience.

    Our main criticism is the mechanics of the game become redundant before new elements are introduced. The Sun and Moon would actually benefit from having less levels so that users can experience new challenges sooner.

    We recommend The Sun and Moon to fans of platformer games like Super Meat Boy, or fans of time based puzzles.    … Expand
