About Lunistice
Lunistice is a linear 3D platformer that follows Hana the Tanuki through a series of dreamscapes inspired by 32‑bit aesthetics. The game’s short, burst‑friendly design encourages quick sessions while still offering a full journey toward the Moon.
Players can chase fast times, aim for S‑Ranks on each stage, and optionally replay the entire adventure as an alternate character with distinct gameplay. The title emphasizes a light‑hearted vibe and a variety of themed levels drawn from Hana’s memories.
01 / THE GUIDE
Linear 3D Platforming
The core experience is a straightforward progression through three‑dimensional levels, each built around a single dreamscape theme. Movement focuses on jumping and running, reflecting classic platformer design.
Because the game is linear, players move from one stage to the next without branching paths, making it easy to pick up and play in short bursts.
- Observe the rhythm of each level to improve timing on jumps.
- Compare your run times between stages to identify where you can shave seconds.

Dreamscape Variety
Levels are themed around Hana’s memories, ranging from an old shrine to a water park and even a world made of food. Each setting offers a distinct visual style while keeping the same platforming mechanics.
The variety of environments adds visual interest without altering the fundamental gameplay loop.
- Take note of visual cues that hint at platform placement.
- Enjoy the contrast between settings to keep sessions fresh.

Speedrun and S‑Rank Goals
Players are encouraged to beat their fastest times and achieve an S‑Rank on every stage. The ranking system provides a clear metric for mastery.
Since the game is short, repeated attempts to improve times fit well with its burst‑play design.
- Record your best runs to track incremental improvements.
- Focus on consistent execution rather than risky shortcuts.

Alternate Character Playthrough
An optional mode lets you experience the entire game as a different character with their own skills and gameplay feel. This adds replay value beyond the main storyline.
Playing as the alternate character changes the way you interact with the same adventure.
- Compare how each character handles the same obstacles.
- Use the alternate playthrough to discover hidden movement nuances.
