Luna Game: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

But, the most noteworthy is the main [[Creepypasta]] series--created by an anonymous programmer--which each start out as a seemingly innocent, 2D [[Platformer]]. (That is, [[Surprise Creepy|until the horror shows up]])

 

 

The series contains four linear installments, a [[Prequel]], and a [[Fan Sequel|fan-made sequel]].

 

 

 

 

* [[Anonymous Author]]: The creators of both the canon series and the fan game have kept their identities hidden from the community.<ref>(slightly subverted with the former, whom had shared his identity ''only'' with a certain Strawberry Spice--an administrator to Equestria Gaming (previously) and ambiguous friend--both in order to help stay anonymous and maintaining the author's site)</ref>

* [[Beautiful Void]]: The periods before the [[Dark World]] sequences.

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: About a thousand years of it for Luna.

* [[Dark World]]: The hell worlds in all games except the first. They're generic red bloody places.

* [[Dead to Begin With]]: This is revealed to be the case at the end of ''Luna Game 0'' and its demo: {{spoiler|Luna}} in the demo and {{spoiler|Pinkie Pie}} in the full game.

*** "Giggle at the Ghosties" remixes have been used particularly often.

*** In addition, the third and fifth games apparently used a ''very'' heavy [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDD-wSD8Qvs remix] of a short piece of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY8jdwq4ues background music] from "Sonic Rainboom" and "The Cutie Mark Chronicles".

* [[Face Monster Turn]]: {{spoiler|Pinkie Pie}}

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]:

** Similar to the third game, albeit more subtly. The game just continues indefinitely until you fall into one of the pits.

** In addition, the fourth game forces you to jump off of a cliff right at the beginning.

** The fifth game gets darker and darker as you make your way to the bottom of the room<ref>(being the only option you are left with)</ref>, leading to [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|YOUR]] doom.

** Luna Game 5 may also be an example.

* [[Jump Scare]]: Oh so many -- One in each of the six games, with the exclusion of the ''Luna Game 0'' Demo.<ref>(Unless you count the scary noises that play if you play it in between 11PM and 5AM)</ref>

* [[Ontological Mystery]]: The reason behind Luna's imprisonment in her series of strange, happy-to-hell worlds was a complete mystery until the addition of ''Luna Game 0.''

* [[Platform Game]]

** Super Ponybeat tracks are featured in the beginning of the first three games, as well as the fan-made fifth game.

** Occasionally, the games feature pony [[Fan Art]]<ref>(especially by CrappyUnicorn)</ref>.

==== ''Luna Game'' ====

 

 

* [[Black Eyes of Evil]]: Pinkie Pie.<ref>(Possibly)</ref>

* [[Evil Laugh]]: If the player happens to end with the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghjQofDhr8w "Giggle at the Ghosties" remix].

* [[Madness Mantra]]: If the immense amount of text files created in the game's aftermeth is taken into consideration--each with ''"The End is Neigh"'' as the only text--then it counts.

* [[Sensory Abuse]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evYZK3gPsRY "Evil Enchantress" remix]... ''[[Harsh Noise|Be warned!]]''

* [[Screamer Prank]]: Often the way it's compared to the ''Scary Maze Game''.

* [[Art Evolution]]: LG2 had begun the use of the improved, WindowPonies Luna sprite<ref>(instead of the homemade sprite used the first game)</ref> which had then stuck for the rest of the series.

* [[Bottomless Pit|Bottomless Chasm]]

 

==== ''Luna Game 3'' ====

 

* [[Endless Game]]: Once you get to a certain point, there are only two things to do: continue running forever, or allow yourself to fall into a pit.

* [[Eye Awaken]]: At the end of the game, you get a creepy picture of Luna's mutated corpse whose eyes suddenly open and shrieks.

==== ''Luna Game 4'' ====

 

 

 

** Additionally, one of the images happens to be another one of CrappyUnicorn works. Though, the image is too dark to fully be seen in the game; there is an inscription which reads:<br />''{{smallcaps|Vengeance taken — Will often tear the heart — And torment the conscience}}''

* [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]

* [[Interface Screw]]: Glitched out text is displayed as Luna enters the last dark world.

* [[Multiple Endings]]: If at any time you let the darkness catch you, you will be greeted with a flurry of creepy images and a loud scream (in a game that is otherwise not a screamer).

* [[Outrun the Fireball]]: Darkness quickly closes in on Luna twice, which she has to outrun.

* [[Phantom Zone]]: A true, nightmarish hell-of-a-world unlike any other {{spoiler|to which Luna arrives at after falling into the darkness of [[Hell]].}} Once the end of this area/{{spoiler|the game}} is found, {{spoiler|it is strongly implied Luna is truely [[Killed Off for Real]] when/(if) the player attempts to reopen the game; only to be presented with the text:}}

* [[Shout-Out]]:

 

==== ''Luna Game 0''<ref>(which includes a demo)</ref> ====

'''''{{smallcaps|Demo}}'''''

 

* {{spoiler|[[The Aloner]]}}: This is strongly hinted for Luna towards the end.

* [[Title Sequence|End Title Sequence]]

* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: The demo was nothing at all what the full version came out as.

'''''{{smallcaps|Main Game}}'''''

 

 

* [[Arc Words]]: The phrase "Pinkie Pie was just looking for you, you should probably go find her" and its variations is said by five of the mane six near the end of the game.

* [[The Corruption]]: {{spoiler|It is implied near the end that Nightmare Moon had began to call Luna into darkness again.}}

* [[Cruel Twist Ending]]: {{spoiler|It is revealed<ref>(well, actually only strongly hinted)</ref> [[Kick the Dog|that Luna had went insane and brutally murdered Pinkie Pie.]] [[The Dog Bites Back|Pinkie, in turn, had since then been tormenting her out of revenge. i.e. Luna had caused her own hellish nightmare and eventual death.]]}}

** After the Nightmare Moon scene, the player can choose to go back to where they collected the items instead of going back to the main area. Here, the player will find all the items in their original spots and if Luna touches one of them; thunder will sound, the game will glitch out--showing an image of a moment earlier in the game--and prematurely close.

** [[Literary Allusion Title|The game's featured quote]] is a possible [[Shout-Out]] to Mary Pickford's:

* [[Enemy Within]]: {{spoiler|Princess Luna & Nightmare Moon}}

* [[Famous Last Words]]:

* [[Fetch Quest]]: Depending on the player's choice, Luna will have to gather/collect/retrieve a series of items<ref>Books (for Twilight), apples (Applejack), carrots (Fluttershy), snowflakes (Rainbow Dash), candies (Pinkie Pie), or gems (Rarity)</ref>, each with their own unique stage.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|Luna killing Pinkie Pie when she offered to throw her a party. (Even though Nightmare Moon's influence over her made her do it.)}}

* [[Prequel]]

* [[Unwitting Instigator of Doom]]:

 

=== Fan-sequel ===

==== ''Luna Game 5'' ====

 

* [[Continuity Nod]]/ [[Homage]]: A lot of elements used in the previous games are again featured in the [[Fan Sequel]].<ref>(Such as a Super Ponybeat track being used in the game's beginning, several of the ominous tracks were reused, ect)</ref>

* [[Being Watched|Being Listening To]]:

* [[Dying Dream]]: {{spoiler|The game concludes with Luna's slashed-up body at the exact location where the game started turning creepy.}}

* [[Easter Egg]]:

* [[Multiple Endings]]: If you are caught by the camera during the third stage, [[Jump Scare|Pinkie will pop up on your screen as a loud screech plays]] just before crashing.

* [[Shout-Out]]:

* [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You]]: {{spoiler|Just before the game crashes, the words "You're Next" appear on the screen before a Zalgofied Pinkie is shown staring straight at you. To add insult to injury, your CD tray pops open at that exact moment.}}

* [[Thwarted Escape]]:
