Relax and play Lune in your browser, thank us later
It's an insane week for gaming, so take a break, take a breath, and play the Lune free alpha in your browser. Lune is an exploration adventure game about controlling the moon, altering the tides and gravity, and providing light to guide your character safely across an island. Lune comes from a group of students entering the French development competition Hits Playtime, and they welcome player feedback. This free alpha is the first step of a larger project coming this fall, designer Sergey Mohov says. Go ahead and give Lune a try – because being the moon is probably less stressful than anything else you'll do this week.
Lune open alpha begins June 9, be the man in the moon
Lune is a simplistic game that gives the player control of the moon, pushing and pulling tides, altering gravity and lighting certain areas to reveal hidden objects. It doesn't rely on words to connect with its audience – but fortunately we do, and we can write down when its open alpha begins. Lune enters open alpha on June 9, in-browser and for free, through the game's website. The final game is scheduled to launch this fall. It comes from a group of students participating in the French development contest Hits Playtime, and the team would appreciate any feedback that benefits the gameplay. "We will listen carefully to everything the players have to say about this alpha of Lune and use it to craft a better experience come release date, not only because we believe that people deserve to see what they buy before the buy it, but also because we know that asking for money on Kickstarter is not the only way to let people contribute to a game world and therefore experience a closer connection to it," Lune Designer Sergey Mohov tells Joystiq. For a team that doesn't like to use words, that's very well said.%Gallery-190481%
Lune lets you control the moon, command the tides
Here's a curious game that hit the ol' Joystiq inbox. It's called Lune and it charges players with controlling the moon to manipulate gravity, the tides and light. The game takes place on a mysterious island that's forever shrouded in darkness, and it's up to the player to move the moon to help a character traverse the landscape. And, as you'll see in the trailer above, it's real purdy.Lune is part of a French student game competition called Hits Playtime.
