Lunistice (originally known as Eversleep: Lunistice Gaiden) is a 3D Platform Game developed by German developer Dennis "DEKE64" Kröner, also known as AGrumpyFox, and published by Deck13 Spotlight for PC and Nintendo Switch. The game stars Hana the Tanuki as she embarks on an adventure through her dreams, with her final destination being none other than The Moon, all the while trying to uncover the secrets behind something known as "The Lunistice".The game was originally made as a self-imposed challenge by Dennis to make a commercially viable game in 30 days, though as time went on, the game grew beyond those ambitions and the 30-day challenge was abandoned. The game is designed to be very fast-paced with a focus on flow, mostly linear levels, a speedrun-friendly design, and visuals inspired by fifth generation consoles.While the game was initially planned to be released on September 2, 2022, the game ended up having to be delayed to November 10, 2022 in order to polish the game further and avoid conflicting with the release dates of other major titles.A Dreamcast-inspired sequel to the game, simply titled Lunistice 2, was announced on December 4, 2022. An update for the original game, Accel Coda, which stars said game's protagonist, is also in development.

comment
Ominous Visual Glitch: When entering secret areas (which are unlocked after obtaining all four letters in an act as Hana), the picture will become noticeably more distorted and glitchy. This effect even persists in the results screen after collecting the key/file in these secret areas, where the usual music is also replaced with an ominous droning noise.

Golden Ending
 Lunistice (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5
comment
Golden Ending: Getting the true ending for Hana's campaign requires the player to get all six notes from the six previous stages before stage 7. Doing so unlocks the seventh and final note and one last stage, 7-X: SYSTEM|OVERRIDE. Beating this stage unlocks the true ending, where Hana is now absent from her usual resting place seen in the intro and normal ending and is now standing in front of a large door that opens with a bright light shining out of it, signifying that she's now about to leave the simulation and break the cycle that has been placed on her.

Variable Mix: World 5-2 uses this in a rather ingenious way to illustrate the player's progress through the level. In order to proceed to the last section of the level, Hana has to break three tear-shaped crystals ensnared by vines. When the level starts out, there is no music, just ambient forest noises, but as she breaks the three crystals, the music starts to return layer by layer.

Obvious Rule Patch: Because Toree is unable to attack, they simply automatically run over any enemy they run into while riding on grind rails. In addition, any stage element that needs to be attacked to activate (like the grind vines in FOREST|MELANCHOLY) simply activates automatically when they get close.

Wutai: The level "SHRINE|HOME" is very distinctly themed after traditional Japanese architecture. The fact that the stage has "HOME" in its name suggests that Hana may have come from this world's equivalent to Japan. There are other bits of Japanese architecture strewn about the other stages as well, and the checkpoints are all represented by torii gates.

Guest Fighter: In addition to Hana, the game features two guest characters from other indie games, as well as bonus levels based on their home games to compensate for the fact that they are unable to access Hana's final stage. These include: Toree from Toree 3D. Much like in their home games, they are very fast, but they can't attack and die in one hit. Toukie from Holomento. She can't jump as high as Hana, but can flap her wings by pressing the jump button up to three times for extra air time, she has a much faster attack, albeit with shorter range, and has two HP as opposed to Hana's three.

Spelling Bonus: Each act of each stage has the four letters of Hana's name scattered around it for her to collect. Collecting all four unlocks a secret bonus area near the goal, where the player can collect a key in the first act and a file in the second. This, of course, does not apply to guest characters and their bonus stages.

comment
Never Say "Die": In earlier builds of the game, the counter that keeps track of how many times you died in a level was originally plainly labeled as "Deaths". Later builds changed the name of this value to "Resets" instead, which makes more sense with the game taking place in a dream-based simulation.
