The $5 3D Platformer You'll Actually Want - Lunistice Nintendo Switch Review 

Its incredibly sad that games like these can be bought for 5$ but worthless skins can go up to 30$.

Having followed the developer for many years, it makes me really happy to see a review of his game here now

We need more games like this

Reminds me off when Toree 3D was talked about as an excellent game with a fantastic price tag

Bought the game the day it came out and imo it is hella worth it. The game is fun, cheap, and has more than great replay value. Controls like a dream personally

NintendoLife has an outstanding batting average when it comes to small indie titles. From Gotta Protectors on the 3DS to Toree 3D and Toree 2, NL says "this is a good indie game" i just buy it.

Downloading the Demo right now😀

Ah, I've seen this game in a gaming expo before. I think it was S.A.G.E.? But yea, this game looked nice, glad it's finally released!

Hells yeah - Looks like a lot of fun! Bought!!

This game is easily worth $15, it's really good.

Thank you for this review. I'm gonna buy it!

This game is alot of fun! I never would've found it without this video. Thanks all!

It’s hilarious to me how Nintendo Life will occasionally make a video on these 3D platformers I’ve never heard of that are surprisingly great *and* dirt cheap, like with Toree 3D.

i was impressed by how well it controlled more than anything. was nice to pick up after sonic frontiers... interesting platforming

This game is every bit as good as it seems. Such a gem.

I smiled so hard while playing this demo

This game looks so cute

Whoa!

The skuh-LEE-tull narrative

It is totally nuts that this is $5. It should be $20.

Thanks for sharing! Looks amazing!

I've been digging through the eShop for something to buy with my leftover eShop funds and this game looks to be the exact thing I've been looking for. If it weren't for this review, this game might've flown under my radar. Didn't bother with the demo, just bought it straight away. The review told me all I needed to know.

This looks gorgeous! I often think games like this for such low prices do often give me more joy and excitement for games as a medium than a more normal full price AAA release.

This looks so LOVELY! Thank you guys for sharing it and giving it a spotlight. Just by looking it, I know it’s an instant buy, and that I HAVE to follow this developer! Please continue to review and showcase little games like these! If the dev ever sees this comment section, I want them to know I’m on board with your ideas from here on out!❤

You know, this game actually had a demo at Sonic Amateur Games Expo a year back, great to see fan game makers like Lake Ferperd and Kaze Emmanuar break into the main industry.

Funfact: The developer is actually a former German RU-vidr and still Twitch streamer named HerrDekay. It's so cool to see him getting international recognition for his game! Thanks for the review :D

Reminds me a lot of Toree, another ultra cheap platformer that’s surprisingly good considering the price. Never heard of this game but I’ll definitely check it out now!

Followed development for this little gem since day one. Please pick it up y’all

This reminds me of Super Lucky's Tale, but with too much jumping for my taste.

Nintendo Life showcasing another cheap but good looking and fun platformer like they did for Toree. I'm interested

Never thought I’d see the day where people are making nostalgia projects for 3D PS1/N64 style games

Oh i´m SO happy you gave this a spotlight! :) Dennis is such an amazing Dev and awesome guy, i really hope this game does well!!! Love that so much great games come from germany like this or CrossCode.

It’s also giving me massive Demon Turf vibes, which is also a fantastic platformer with amazing art direction

i love the combinatin of late DS early 3DS low polygon style but with modern hardware removing the technical limitations (ie having proper view distance & framerate)

Its fantastic. Best 3d platformer I played this year.

Level design is good, it's a bit like suzy cube, the graphics though not a fan

This game is wonderful!

Man, to think that this was developed by a guy whose Let's Plays I used to watch over a decade ago...

You can play a free demo which was featured at this year's Sonic Amateur Games Expo!

It's on steam. Sold. Thanks NinLife

Just picked it up! Thanks for showcasing this and talking about it. Not bad at all in terms of space too. (only 602 MB or so) Thanks for all that you do.

Instantly bought it! Thanks for reviewing this game!

The gameplay is sooooo smooth, loved that one, thanks guys!

Oh hey, I played a demo of this back during SAGE, it was called Eversleep back then. Good on them for changing the name, it sounded like a prescription sleep medicine brand or something lol.

wow cheap and looks amazing but still waiting for more non pixelated indie games i know they exist and want more of them

Saturn Graphics + Sonic gameplay = everything I ever want from a 3D platformer, my top 5 gaming genre(s) I cannot express how much I love this game 😩😍 maybe I can, cuz I bought it 4 times, 1 for myself and 3 for 3 friends People, plz buy this game, please 🥺

Here's a eshop recoomensation The dadish trilogy A trilogy of great and funny 2d pixel platformers Deffeloped by a single person Plz do a video about it

Another game on my backlog but it might just go to the top of the backlog pile

Saw this so picked it up on Steam to play on Steam Deck, unverified but it runs perfectly so far. Controls are a bit overly sensitive by default but can be changed in options, as well as a hi-res mode enabled that looks a lot nicer (more Dreamcast than PSone).

Tori 3d X Mario Galaxy X Sonic Mania special stages

Yes! Was waiting to see this game get more coverage after just catching it on Steam & the e-shop! Absolutely love it's style, music & gameplay! The gameplay style feels like the perfect mix of MegaMan Legends and Sonic Adventure. Absolutely love it!

So glad you recommended this game to us. Played the demo, loved it, bought the game straight away! It's an awesome platformer!

But Alex! isn't this the game you speedran and got a world record on!?

Y’all should do a video review of Here Comes Niko! It’s a fantastic 3D platformer.

The NL review to buy-the-game-immediately pipeline.

Is't incredible that a game like this is only 5$

Hope they ported this game to Android

I thought this was going to be a 3DS game

Alright sold, I’ll pick it up

This year is becoming the rise of the PS1 platformer

This video just cost me $5

I grabbed the demo, but based on this review I’m sure I’ll be paying for it and loving it

Does look super fun, and everything is better with a red panda

-Cheap -3D pixelart -3D platform -Fun gameplay I can invent a Category for these games and it will be “Toree3D like”

Strong Toree vibes

They charging too little for something of this quality. At least $10!!!

the game plays incredible

obviously based on just a real tanuki... cause if it was based on a mythological tanuki, then the character would be male, because... you know...

Well, well… It looks like those extra 600 Gold Points I got from buying Splatoon 3 will be of use! 😏

Getting Toree flashbacks! (I bought that game after being sold by a NL vid)

my favorite genre of switch game is cheap 3d platformer. this and toree 3d 1/2 are are must in anyones switch library

Did this guy ever play a NES game though

looks like it's not just exclusive to switch, there's a pc ver as well

A good 3d platformer releasing? Count me in!

Ty for showing these nice game il pick it up as soon as posible

Very good game, highly recommend it! Especially for 5$. I had more fun with it than with most recent AAA games.

30 days to make it? Reminds me of how Nickervision said he'd never spend more than 72 hours on his games.

There's a demo too!

I hope this gets a physical release!

collectathons aren’t boring!

looks like nono islands on the iphone

cool graphics

This look like DS graphics

Just bought it for 2.92$ 😁

I can’t take it 😢 I love this game Finally we have a female Sonic ❤ a proper one Guys, definitely buy this

I don't know how many might feel this way but i have a growing adversion to games with bottomless pits everywhere for you to fall in. It even put me off continuing the octo expansion for splatoon. Too tense when every lil movement can send you flying to your death..

I tried the demo, and wow this feels like what a good first try at a 3D Sonic game could’ve been on the Saturn. It’s got a speedy, arcade feel with enough speed spectacle stuff with added exploration. Reskin the main character as Sonic and you’re pretty much there. Considering I spend $12 on a lunch out without batting an eye, I’ll be happy to pay $5 for the whole thing.

It's really good!!

This game looks awesome

oh my god they made rail grinding stylish and fun. thanks for the lead bestie glad i clicked the video

Ok buying this later, thanks for the community service.

You had me at saturn

This looks like what could have been if Sega made a 3D Sonic for the Saturn.

This is a game from a German streamer I love. It's so cool that you review his piece of art!

This doesn't hide any sinister scares like the Toree games?

Love to see you guys covering titles from the little guys. Keep it up!

I played the demo for this on steam. Definitely getting it for that price

Gamefreak: "Here's our new game with barely any updated graphics or charming aesthetic, little to no post-game, and comically bad optimization for the best selling franchise in the world. $59.99 plus DLC that should've been in the final game" Indie dev: "Here is my masterwork I put all my time and dedication into by myself with amazing optimization. Available for less than the cost of a Big Mac combo."

I want more 3D Sonic!!!! Port them all to switch! Please? Haha. This game looks like the toree killer.

I jus brought it!
