Additional Notes from the Developer

Inspired by my love of 2D artwork & gameplay, quirky sci-fi stories, treasure-hunting missions, achievement-completionism and atmospheric, rogue-lite and survival-styled games, Moonlite - 1975 aims to provide an arcade-like and engaging treasure-hunting experience in which you can tackle the top-down, time-limited mission as you see fit. I hope you enjoy the journey!

Good luck and Godspeed! Clive Lawrence @ tmwfa
