Hank battles alien hordes on a moon base under siege, racing to reach the emergency escape vehicle LESS amid chaos. This vintage-styled side-scrolling platformer demands precision as players navigate stages packed with enemies, obstacles, and bosses. Resource management adds tension: track oxygen levels with tank pickups to avoid hypoxia, monitor suit damage that leads to quick death, and juggle ammo for the unlimited single-shot weapon.
Charge shots for power or grab power-ups for double-shot bursts and limited grenades against enemy waves. A jetpack recharges on idle, boosting jumps to higher platforms or dodging threats. Retro platforming fans who crave tough challenges with survival mechanics will find a solid test here.
Hank is an astronaut who has been assigned with a mission to build rocket launch pads on the moon. On his last day of work, the moon base is surprised by an alien attack, and Hank is caught in the middle of a battle of epic proportions, fighting for his life with little resources. In face of imminent destruction, the only chance for our hero to survive is to reach an emergency escape vehicle named LESS (Lunar Escape Systems). However, this will not be an easy mission...
MoonLess is a vintage-styled side scrolling platform game for those who are up for a challenge. Not only you will face hordes of enemies and tricky obstacles in order to reach the boss at the end of each stage, but will also have to keep track of your oxygen levels, ammunition and space suit - since the slightest damage can quickly lead to deathly consequences.
Hank's unlimited single shot weapon can be either charged for a more powerful beam or upgraded to a double shot with limited ammunition by picking up a special power up. Limited grenade power ups are available as an special attack, and can help you fend off larger hordes of enemies. An oxygen meter provides a time limit before Hank starts struggling with hypoxia, and should be renewed by picking up extra tanks along the way. Finally, Hank's limited movement is greatly enhanced by his attached jetpack that automatically recharges when idle, allowing the player to reach higher platforms or evade enemies.
With a soundtrack produced exclusively for the game by Synt5, MoonLess has all the elements for a good retro-style fun.
