Even though I’m not the biggest fan of pixel art this game was truly stunning. The artwork the scenery the overall colors are gorgeous. I would definitely recommend anyone who likes platforming relaxing games like this one!

Great game. Nice controls and mechanics. Story is short, but there’s plenty to do to keep you occupied, especially if you’re a trophy completionist. When it runs smoothly, it’s exactly the kind of game I want on my phone to pass the time with. Honestly, I would give the game 5 stars, but there’s an annoyance and a few bugs.What annoyed me: You can’t skip past story mode cutscenes. There’s not many of these, to be honest, but the most annoying one was at the beginning of the sky terrace story level. Considering how many times I reset because I was aiming for 0 deaths and died, I saw it way more than I wanted. I really wanted to skip that or speed it up. It almost made me stop playing.I also think that endless mode level design isn’t as smooth as story mode level design, but that just might be from the limitations of procedural generation.What bugs I encountered: First, though the opening screen goes to an option for story mode or endless mode, choosing endless mode just sends me back to the start of the opening screen, so I always have to enter endless mode by going into story mode and taking the lift. Second, earning a tablet piece in endless mode instantly sends me back to the opening screen, though at least it lets me keep the tablet piece. However, it does not count as having earned it for the trophy, so I am currently unable to get the trophies (especially as I have gotten all tablets from several endless mode levels).Third, there was one point in the Sky Terrace where I was jumping from flower to flower, and the second blue flower from the top would not send me either to the top or to the blue flower above it. This was very annoying because I had made it all the way to level 19 and had collected almost 20,000 pearls in about 13 minutes. I left my character jumping for several minutes and the jump never succeeded.

To start, this game is really fun and has helped me pass by many hours. It’s easy to learn and the endless levels are really engaging. My complaints are purely with occasional performance issues. On the home screen, tapping Endless Mode resets back to the home screen in a loop. It seems like an elaborate prank since you’re stuck in a loop if you keep hitting that button. You have to go to Story Mode and then take the elevator down in order to reach it. Since I’m finished with story mode, this is a bummer. More importantly, I have noticed an increasing amount of restarts within the game that has ruined great runs. I just got down level 19 in endless, but it reset to the home screen in the middle of it and now I’m annoyed that my best run was killed in its prime. This has primarily happened in endless but has I’ve noticed it in story mode occasionally. I’m going to keep playing, and will gladly update to 5 stars once these are fixed.

Lucky Luna is very enjoyable, satisfying game just missing the mark at being a classic. The music is great and all the secret passages are a big selling point. The story is vague at best (what is Luna’s motivation? Why are we collecting all the bits and pieces along the way?) and it’s a little unclear exactly what’s left to discover on each level. The score is tallied but what the different pieces signify and how they fit into the narrative could have been made a little more apparent. Beyond that, it’s a fun (short!) adventure. Highly recommended.
