Touhou Luna Nights

A Metroidvania platformer built around time manipulation mechanics. You explore interconnected 2D environments, using abilities to slow, stop, or rewind time during combat and navigation. The core loop pairs precise movement with strategic use of time powers—freeze enemies mid-attack, pause projectiles to redirect them, or accelerate yourself through hazards. Combat leans on timing rather than button-mashing. Environments open up as you gain new abilities, gating progress in classic Metroidvania fashion. Pixel art presents characters and locations from the Touhou universe, though prior franchise knowledge isn't required. The time mechanics create puzzle-platforming moments where you manipulate objects and enemies simultaneously. Works for players who enjoy methodical combat and backtracking through expanding maps.
