Lunark is a 2D cinematic platformer in the vein of '80s and '90s classics. Run, jump, hang, climb, roll, and shoot your way through mysterious alien ruins, a flying penitentiary, a high-tech megalopolis, and a majestic forest. As Earth became inhospitable, Noah, an AI whose sole purpose was to preserve humanity, was created. It chose the Moon as it’s Ark - renamed Lunark - using it as a ship to evacuate a handful of chosen ones to the nearest superhabitable planet. Unfortunately, whether the planet was inhabited or not was not part of Noah’s criteria.
