MOTH PLANET is a kinetic, bouncy 2D platformer, where you interview moths scattered across an interconnected world as you investigate its secrets and get the biggest scoop!
You play as Robin, a journalist for the MOTH PLANET - Lepidopteros’ most scandalous investigative newspaper!
After mysterious ruins were discovered in the distant village of Lycosina, your editor sent you on a mission: go there and find out what happened, and see if there’s any truth to the locals’ claims. You are, after all, a serious journalist.
Robin is a diligent professional. They are quick on their feet, agile and resistant to most forms of damage! They are also extremely bouncy, like a rubber ball!
Accelerate very quickly, and fly through hazards and obstacles as you make your way through Lycosina!
Your camera is the single most valuable asset in your investigation!
Snap pictures of the moths you find across Lycosina and its surroundings to take their statements! They will always have something to say, be it anecdotes from their life so far from civilization, first-hand accounts of the recent events which shook the region, or even clues to the truth behind the mysterious ruins.
Your camera’s flash is so powerful it is even able to activate switches, reveal secrets, and more!
It is your job to interview as many moths as you can, and get the full story of what happened!
Explore four visually distinct, interconnected regions, full of dangers and secrets as you make your journey to these fabled “ruins”, to see what is the truth of these rumors!
Each region has its own hazards exclusive to them, such as the aggressive Stalker Plants in the Forest, or the toxic Mushroom Spores in the Caves.
MOTH PLANET features a SPEEDRUN MODE, featuring two options:
- ANY%
- 100%
Lepidopteros is a world full of secrets, and its forgotten history is now coming to light. Will you be able to discover the truth, and write up that world-shattering news article?
Jump, fly and bounce your way through this moth-filled world, and find out what secrets lie… in MOTH PLANET.
