MOONMAN: THE GAME

i have fallen in love with moon man and, by proxy, MOON MAN: THE GAME!!! THANK YOU WYATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Searching for the term "platformer" on Steam gives you over 17,000 results... there's thousands and thousands of garbage tier platformers infesting Steam. "MOONMAN: THE GAME" fits right into that category of retro 2D shovelware glutting the Steam store. Only a tiny number of those are any good, and this isn't one of them. This is a laughably badly made pixelcrap platformer. The badly written plot has you living in some building with a gun, and I guess you have to go shoot a bunch of baddies to save the world, with some badly done platforming thrown in. The quality here is comically bad, the kind of thing you might expect an elementary school kid to come up with, but that would be unfair to elementary school kids. In the modern era of high quality bleeding edge PC gaming, these kinds of flat, lazy, lackluster platformers just don't cut it. Platforming is a dead genre for a reason. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless…
