Luna (Funomena)

Relaxing and pretty. Light puzzling combined with placing nature objects in a small scene. Picking color of item with mouse doesn't work properly, nor does zooming in. For the price, way too short at around an hour. I wonder if it's because it's also a VR game. Maybe pick up for less than five bucks if you like the style of the screenshots.

Luna is a 3D Puzzle game where the story requires simple and short song matching and arranging stars into constellations to progress. Once unlocked you can decorate diorama-styled environments for particular animals that represent their respective spaces of the world; and as it turns out are representatives of the phases of the moon. Your character, Bird, is tricked by Owl, into shattering the moon and leaving the state of the world in perpetual night with a new moon. Each spirit animal of their respective dioramas must be healed in order to restore to the moon to its full state. The game offers both Standard and VR modes, players of the former may want to adjust their mouse acceleration accordingly as movement and puzzles may have been designed more fluid with the latter in mind. While the core mechanics of the game are fine, the ability to vary size and color of the fauna you restore can be a bit finicky. Luna boasts 17 Steam Achievements, most simple completion, with several being secrets on specific levels. The levels are short and the game's design does not vary too much, so playtime may be a concern for you. I certainly feel the art style, a comfy and vibrant space of origa…

Short colorful puzzle game with very inconvenient controls. Without VR - don't bother.

Beautiful semi-interactive story/art piece. I don't know if I feel $15 is the right price as the experience is quite short and relatively repetitive. I feel this is an experience I could use for introducing people to VR. The non-gamers will love it. The rest of us will marvel and then get bored.

I am a 52 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing Luna. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son found this game at Christmas, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So i decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game world and started playing but I was stuck on what you were supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he helped me. Loved it as it was the best time had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories. Thank you <3

A very cute and beautiful game. A bit repetitive after a while, even though it's short, so I played it in two sessions. My casual gamer partner watched me play and adored it. I let her plant some vegetation at some point, which was easy to do for her even though she wasn't wearing the VR headset I was playing with. So I'd say it's fun to experience alongside someone who doesn't play video games (or VR games specifically).
