A precision platformer about leaving a house full of clocks. Free to play. If you loved Celeste, Journey, or Gris — this is your next obsession. She grew up in a house where the clocks didn't tick in time. Where the wallpaper breathed. Where mirrors stopped agreeing. The story starts small — a man at the table, a hallway that grew longer when she was alone in it — and ends with every clock in the house stopping. You play as the version of her that walked out. FEATURES • 17 hand-built rooms — each its own mood, palette, and score • Precision mechanics: wall slide, wall jump, air dash, coyote time • A story told one memory at a time • Daily Dream — a new room every day, same seed for every player • 3 Dream Layers: beat the game to unlock Nightmare and Abyss • 10 achievements • Speedrun timer • Shop with boosters and cosmetic effects • Original soundtrack that shifts with the room • Free to play, no required purchases "the house tried to swallow the sound. it could not."

About

Moonlight Platformer

Features
Read full description

Moonlight Runner is a dreamy platforming adventure through glowing worlds, dangerous traps, secret paths, and moonlit challenges. Run, jump, dodge, climb, and survive across handcrafted levels filled with lava, ice, spikes, enemies, portals, moving platforms, and hidden collectibles. Some levels are 2D platforming challenges, while others shift into 3D-style adventures and strange experimental stages. Collect starlight, find secrets, master tricky jumps, and reach the portal at the end of each level. Some stages are short and sharp. Some are huge. Some are just plain mean.
