''Luna Game'' is a series of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] fangames, each featuring the e[[A Worldwide Punomenon|pony]]mous Princess Luna as the protagonist.
 
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]])
Line 14:
Unity Of Factors has released a [http://unityoffactors.bandcamp.com/track/stay-awake-little-fillies-luna-game track] dedicated to the game on their bandcamp.
 
There has also been a [[Spiritual Successor]] series called ''[[Dreamy Rainbow (Video Game)|Dreamy Rainbow]]''.
 
'''''Tropes that apply to the entire series:'''''
Line 27:
* [[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.
* [[Easter Egg]]:
** Many times, the series makes use of edited versions of original [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] songs<ref>(sometimes obvious, sometimes not)</ref>.
*** "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".
Line 33:
* [[Face Monster Turn]]: {{spoiler|Pinkie Pie}}
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]:
** In ''Luna Game 2'', [[Unwinnable Byby Design|there's no way to win]]. After the screamer appears and you go to the hell world, [[Railroading|you're forced to throw yourself into a pit]].
** 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.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: In its following, the Luna game series has inspired numerous responses of fan-made [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] [[Creepypasta]] games; including the infamous [[Story of the Blanks]], the [[Dreamy Rainbow (Video Game)|Dreamy Rainbow]] series, and inspired the ''bad'' ending to [[Super Filly Adventure]].
** 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>
Line 45:
* [[Platform Game]]
* [[Psychological Horror]]: Often by the accompaniment of [[Fridge Horror]].
* [[Psycho Strings]]: Some of the scary sound effects<ref>(including [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKHX9FrC6vc a] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2kYvx2aB4M few] borrowed from ''[[Amnesia: theThe Dark Descent (Video Game)|Amnesia]]'')</ref> are these.
* [[Recurring Element]]:
** Super Ponybeat tracks are featured in the beginning of the first three games, as well as the fan-made fifth game.
Line 62:
* [[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.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: The game has a possibility of ending with either of four different sinister remixes of original [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] songs.
* [[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''.
Line 101:
{{quote| ''{{spoiler|[[Dramatic Deadpan|Your fate has already been sealed.]]}}''}}
* [[Shout-Out]]:
{{quote| ''[[Ben Drowned (Web Video)|"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"]]''}}
 
==== ''Luna Game 0''<ref>(which includes a demo)</ref> ====
Line 108:
* [[Hundred-Percent Adoration Rating]]/ [[Close Knit Community]]: Luna was treated much nicer by the mane six in the demo than in the full version.<ref>(i.e. being nice from the start, complimenting her with kind words, and giving her the time of day)</ref>
* {{spoiler|[[The Aloner]]}}: This is strongly hinted for Luna towards the end.
* [[Easter Egg]]: If you play between 11PM and 5AM, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQoRqtZpx8Y a track] from [[The Whitewhite Chamberchamber]] will play an hour after the game finishes.
* [[Title Sequence|End Title Sequence]]
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: The demo was nothing at all what the full version came out as.
Line 143:
* [[Auto Scrolling Level]]: During the third stage.
* [[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>
** Additionally, a [[Continuity Nod]] is made to the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|show]]:
{{quote| '''''Nightmare Moon:''' [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E4 Luna Eclipsed|You once told me you liked being scared]]''}}
* [[Being Watched|Being Listening To]]:
Line 157:
* [[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]]:
** In the first stage, approaching Angel Bunny will cause the ''[[Metal Gear (Video Game)|Metal Gear]]'' alert sound to play.
** In the early part of the third stage, the crying of a [[Left 4 Dead (Video Game)|witch]] can be heard in the background.
** One of the [[Shadow People|shadow ponies]], a filly, drops a line from [[Poltergeist (Filmfilm)|Poltergeist III]]<ref>(although, this may, or may not have been intentional)</ref>:
{{quote| ''"Mommy? Where are you? I can't see."''}}
** As [[Homage]], the end sequence uses an almost perfect port of {{spoiler|Giygas's Lair from [[Earthbound (Video Game)|Earthbound]]}}.
* [[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]]:
