Really appreciate a game like this that makes its mission statement very clearly and then nails it. These days I think these sorts of Sonic-inspired linear 3D platformers are much more appealing to me than someone trying again to revive the collect-a-thon format for the 5th time, and Lunistice is a great example of the former. Going fast is the goal, quick reactions are key, and moving through levels feels smooth and graceful. Also love the visuals, I love it when a crystal in a game looks like a Crash Bandicoot 2 crystal. If I were to have one complaint, Hana's shadow should be a little more prominent. There were some mistakes I made that I felt like I could've avoided if I had a better idea of where Hana is in 3D space. But to be fair, this only happened a couple times early on, and by the second half of the game I got used to it and managed just fine.
