Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) | comment |
Moonlight Pulse is a 2D Metroidvania by Seafloor Games, the creators of Vision Soft Reset. The game is set within a planet-sized world turtle called Aorasque that serves as a home for countless inhabitants. Unfortunately, some of those inhabitants are parasites who threaten Aorasque's life. To preserve their home, the inhabitants formed a Creature-Hunter Organization, the "Curative Agents", who seek out and destroy parasites as well as maintaining Aorasque's general health.The game begins with you in control of Silex, a Boisterous Bruiser and veteran Curative Agent, on a mission to defeat a dangerous parasite. He is eventually joined by three other characters: Laguna, a shy fox who can control water; Charlotte, a snarky and cynical sheep who fights with a whip; and Clyde, an old engineer who fights with a Mini-Mecha. The player can swap between characters at will to take advantage of each of their unique abilities, but the death of any character results in a Game Over. | |

Anyone Can Die: During the Final Battle, We Cannot Go On Without You is no longer in effect, and any defeated characters are Killed Off for Real. Their deaths alter the ending, assuming you win. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Mostly played straight, but averted during the Final Battle. Efbee opens by taking two bites out of Aorasque's heart, generating enormous blood geysers that form the boundaries of the arena. During the fight itself, Efbee can bite a character's head off with visible blood spurts as a result; the only concession to decency is a Monochromatic Impact Shot. | |

Dimensional Cutter | |
Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_14e526cb | comment |
After gaining Dimensional Cutter powers, Silex throws Laguna through a portal into an acid pit from which he cannot escape. During their Boss Battle, Silex also moves through portals to cross distances quickly and perform surprise attacks. He retains this ability after he rejoins, allowing him to perform a strong slash after exiting a portal. | |

Support Party Member: Downplayed with Laguna. Though he can fight, his damage output is far lower than anyone else's, and his special abilities involve immobilizing enemies and inflicting Damage Increasing Debuffs for other characters to exploit. He is, however, handy for sniping faraway enemies in locations that are hard for other characters to reach. | |

Reality Warper: Efbee can create wormholes by tearing holes in space, which he uses to transport parasites onto Aorasque. During an Efbee ambush, the exits of the area also Wrap Around, implying he can warp space to trap his victims. This goes even further during the Final Battle, where he can stretch and distort parts of the screen to make his attacks harder to dodge. | |

Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_3f8ef764 | comment |
Bleak Level: Bhirvasque. Everything is a bleak, washed-out gray and the world is swarming with strong parasites. To emphasize the decay, there is only one functional camp in the whole place; the other crumbles when the heroes attempt to touch it. The whole place is a grim premonition of what Aorasque will become if Efbee succeeds. | |

Elemental Powers: The characters all have an associated power which factors into both their combat and movement abilities.

Clyde: Playing with Fire through his mech's flamethrower. Nephelie: An Ice Person Goldryn: Light 'em Up, according to his journal entry. | |

Instant 180-Degree Turn | |
Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_66310656 | comment |
Instant 180-Degree Turn: As expected from a 2D platformer. This becomes a problem with the Rupo enemies, who explode if you hit the tail hanging off their side. Their tail switches sides in a single frame if they decide to turn around, which can make you hit them by accident if you already initiated an attack. | |

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: The world is generally bright and colorful with a cute Funny Animal aesthetic for the characters, and even some of the parasites are a little cute. The Big Bad Efbee is a terrifying Reality Warper who devours entire worlds and delights in taunting the heroes with their inevitable deaths. He can make good on the threat, too, as defeated characters are Killed Off for Real in the Final Battle. | |

Crutch Character | |
Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_7deb3fb1 | comment |
Crutch Character: Silex is initially much stronger and more useful than the weak Laguna, and you're likely to default to him while exploring. However, by the time he rejoins in the endgame the other characters have not only been brought up to par, they're often more useful due to having a wider variety of abilities. Even his specialty of strong melee damage can be outdone by Charlotte, assuming you can use her correctly. | |

Make My Monster Grow: The second phase of Nephelie's fight has her turn into a massive Kaiju with over a million hit points. You can only defeat her by entering her blood vessels to attack her eyes. Efbee varies in size throughout his appearances, implying he is capable of doing this. In particular, when he's in his room in Bhirvasque he's only the size of the other characters, rather than the titan he appears as in the Final Battle. | |

Puzzle Boss: Laguna is your only available character for the parasite ambush at the top of the Shell, but the ambush pits you against Evo Phios, who are immune to Laguna's attacks. To win, you have to bubble the parasites, then push them into the conveniently-located spikes; spike damage is Non-Elemental, so it bypasses the Evo Phios' water immunity. | |

The Needs of the Many | |
Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_9a3b7208 | comment |
The Needs of the Many: This is Kristie's argument for why she can't help Charlotte free Peak Scute from Nephelie's tyranny: the Curative Agents are spread thin as it is, and she has to allocate resources towards the new threats that endanger all of Aorasque rather than just one village. Charlotte isn't happy about this, accusing Kristie of seeing Peak Scute and all its inhabitants as acceptable losses. Even after Nephelie is defeated, Charlotte doesn't forgive Kristie and their relationship remains strained. | |

Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better | |
Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_9aee92b4 | comment |
Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better: Most characters walk on two legs, but some (most notably Laguna) remain quadrupedal. There's no clear pattern to this, and none of the characters draw attention to it. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Charlotte has good range and the highest damage potential of any character, but this depends on hitting enemies with the tip of her whip, which takes practice to pull off consistently. Unlike other characters, she can only inflict elemental damage if you can pull off the tip attack. | |

Taking the Bullet | |
Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_9ce6492a | comment |
Taking the Bullet: Rescues involve a character performing a Diving Save, taking what would be a fatal hit for another character. Downplayed in that the game fudges this a bit; if the rescuer would also die from the attack, they're only reduced to 1 HP. | |

Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_a19135a6 | comment |
Mind Control: Kookhworm parasites can latch onto the victim's spinal cord, putting them under Efbee's control. Fortunately, in gameplay their attacks only inflict damage. Silex falls victim to one at the end of the first act, giving him an Evil Makeover. | |

One-Hit Kill: One of Efbee's attacks in the Final Battle is to grab a character and bite their head off. This does a fixed 999 damage, rendering it unsurvivable, and it bypasses rescues too. | |

Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba | comment |
Timed Mission: The Final Battle takes place on Aorasque's heart, so even if your characters dodge the Big Bad's attacks, Aorasque still suffers as collateral damage, reducing their Life Meter a bit. As there's no way to block the attacks or recover Aorasque's health during the battle, you have a limited number of attack cycles before Aorasque dies and the battle ends prematurely. | |

Weaponized Teleportation | |
Moonlight Pulse (Video Game) / int_c40ac4d9 | comment |
Weaponized Teleportation: After gaining Dimensional Cutter powers, Silex throws Laguna through a portal into an acid pit from which he cannot escape. During their Boss Battle, Silex also moves through portals to cross distances quickly and perform surprise attacks. He retains this ability after he rejoins, allowing him to perform a strong slash after exiting a portal. In the Final Battle, Efbee attacks through his portals, extending his reach and producing more confusing attack patterns. | |

Later subverted with Laguna's bubble slam ability, which he's only able to do after relaxing in a hot spring to relieve the nonstop stress he's been under. | |
