About final m00n - Defender of the Cubes

final m00n is a horizontal bidirectional 2.75D shooter like no other before!


A space shooter a million years ahead of our time.
Get ready for an experience like you've never had before! Combine strategic thinking, quick reaction, and making decisions about life and death.

More than 20 Levels
And the very last m00n (if you reach it): The legendary "final m00n" that - NEVER ! - ends; and with the introduction to rebuilding, repairing and searching for resources the gameplay is completely changed again.



\

KEY ELEMENTS \


\
  • More than 20 Levels with hours over hours full of fun and thrilling gameplay filled with secrets awaiting to be discovered, levels are never the same and opponents and surivors always have random behaviour patterns.
  • Influence time in different ways. Use your protective sphere. Try to combine everything that this bleak environment gives you to escape the aliens once more.
  • Protect (& heal) your three cubes & your own ship & if you can & the price does not seem too high, save a few survivors ...
  • This is not a simple shoot 'em up. It is a strategic experience with countless ideas, types of action & decisions that you have to make.
  • Survive the deadliest & most unreal environments in an apocalyptic future scenario that has never been seen before.
  • Save the last of your species and sacrifice precious resources or endure your moral conflicts by leaving them to their fate to save your own skin ...
  • A detailed tutorial that gives you a step by step walkthrough of what has changed in over a million years, and what you need to understand to find a way to survive.
  • Choose between three different spaceships with different characteristics (such as speed, nimbleness, turn-speed, destructive capacity, weapon energy storage, protection, "TimeSc0pe", and "Spheres") that make your journey a different challenge every time.
  • Use the different difficulty-settings & game-modes like:
  • The "Hardcore Mode" that leaves the cubes and their protection up to you and your healing skills for the whole journey.
  • The "arcade mode" that takes you back to the good old days before 1980. There are no "Save-Games" here, no holding hands and no Easy-Mode, here you really need "skill" to achieve something ...
  • And if you reach it: The final m00n!
  • One last,endless m00n. A challenge that never ends ...

Background \


What happens, if, in more than a million years, the last humans have to fight for their survival. Uninhabitable planets and a far superiour alien race from which they hide on m00ns. Your only chance at survival is to protect the three devices that make your m00n inhabitable. Cube alpha gives energy, cube beta gives food, cube gamma gives oxygen. If you lose one, you lose your life…

The last humans, forced by the uninhabitable environments of the planets, commute from m00n to m00n.

Is it time for you to die too? Like all the other millions of humans, their nameless bodies still aimlessly floating through space...
... where once upon a time was the earth - and now only a few rock chunks.


And what if...

  • What if... you could slow down time itself?
  • What if... you could nearly stop the time, for the whole galaxy but not for you?
  • What if... you could generate a "Sphere" which stay in place for a short while and protects everything in it ...

And what if you could combine all these things?

  • Can you be everywhere at the same time?
  • Can two simultaneous points be protected at the same time?
  • Can you overtake your own laser?
And by the way: how relative is "short" if you can manipulate time?


In final m00n, with the art of manipulating time, this and much more becomes possible.



Could you survive and reach final m00n?

In one way or another - One m00n will be your final m00n.


And never forget:

  • You are not alone. The "highest form of life" is never far
  • Her technique, her thinking and her entire civilization are a million years ahead of you.
  • And you will not be undetected for a long time even on the smallest of m00ns...

Are you up to it? Can you reach the final m00n..?



Oh, and if you meet a survivor: Think better of you and your survival.
Believe me- don't try to be a hero!

This game is more than an old school REMAKE. It's an respectful homage to Eugene Jarvis and Larry DeMar, the developers of Williams Defender (1981), and also to Dave Theurer and Rob Fulop, who developed Missile Command for Atari in 1980. final m00n takes up the topic of bidirectional horizontal scrollers and transforms it with countless innovations and incredible richness of detail, as well as a dark end-time mood; into a game that is undeniably a gem in this genre. The soundtrack is so fitting and is undoubtedly a million years ahead of any other game soundtrack.

I like tower defense games and I liked the futuristic game art, sound effects and music. Some parts of futuristic art I took as a wallpaper for my computer because I liked it. This is a Defender game along with the Missile Command parts gameplay mixing the two styles and I liked that in gamplay. The game has time manipulation and the movement of the ship where you can use your aim to hit enemies in their vulnerabilities. I recommend this game.

Game review for final Moon This game is super duper cheap! When you can get >1hour fun out of it, it's well worth the investment. The ingame soundtrack is very nice for me. When you like electro / techno it could be very nice for you too. At first you should do the tutorial, even when it takes some time and even whe you are a hardcore pro gamer, without it you can easy miss fun, or even success, because game is not really easy (in higher levels). The visuals are nicely done, controls are not so complicated to learn, even when you play on keyboard like me (no X cube controller) Here is a video of gameplay from Dev on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61nEN2Dx_uw

"final m00n - Defender of the Cubes" is quite a mess. It's an indie/amateur made 3D rendered 2D (ish) side view shoot 'em up. You control some wacky future spaceship and protect cubes from UFOs or something... the narrative is a train wreck. There's time manipulation gimmicks that just serve to make what should be a simple game more convoluted but less enjoyable than it should be. At least it's not using pixel "art"? From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. We can say with great certainty that this game is not an asset flip. This is because the assets are of such poor quality that no self respecting asset creator or artist would publish them under any circumstances. Certainly, nobody likes to see asset recycling, stock assets are intended to be used as placeholders until superior assets can be created by the developer, but when we get wh…

This game DOES have potential, but I'm sorry, the pace is so SLOW, the cutscenes are needlessly long-winded and not skippable, the tutorial took almost 30 minutes. a mind-numbing 30 minutes of idling through slow dialogue with next to no gameplay, by the end of which I didn't even want to play the game anymore. The only saving grace is the beautiful music, but I'm sorry, when the dialogue and cutscenes are longer than the gameplay, and the tutorial is even longer than that, it's just impossible to enjoy.
