Strong Moon

Strong Moon is a difficult action-adventure game that combines platforming and metroidvania elements, with animation and graphics inspired by 1990s cartoons. You play as Strong Moon, a bald hero searching for his strange brother, who has been kidnapped by a deranged magician seeking to use the brother’s power to rule everything. You explore the planet Lunaria, grow stronger and find allies along the way.

Explore Lunaria

You can explore the open world freely from the beginning, choosing where to go first, such as the desert or the Krakamoon volcano. Moon Shards are scattered across Lunaria; finding three increases Strong Moon’s maximum health. You can also collect travel journals left by travelers who died on their journeys to learn more about Lunaria’s history.

Grow stronger

Defeating enemies earns Moon Essence. You can spend it with Mr. Lolo to increase Strong Moon’s strength, or with Helena to increase his medical kits; the latter requires four bandages. Defeating the guardians of each area unlocks one of four abilities: dash, double jump, Super dash or an energy fist.

Enemies and bosses

The bestiary records each enemy’s health and experience, alongside Strong Moon’s opinions about them. Bosses each have a different combat style and present a significant challenge.

Animation and challenge

The game uses traditionally made animation and a visual style inspired by 1990s cartoons and Flash animations. It is designed for a very high level of difficulty, like classic games of that era, and includes 18 achievements. After the initial time you enter the game, deaths restart it instantly without loading screens.
