Description

A pulp adventure set in the midst of a rebellion against a totalitarian regime. LUNARK is a 2D cinematic platformer in the vein of the '90s classics. Run, jump, and shoot your way through gorgeous and mysterious locations!

History

Long time ago, Earth became increasingly unsustainable. The most optimistic forecasts predicted that the human race could survive for just another 10 years. On the International Lunar Station, a group of scientists built NOAH: an artificial intelligence driven supercomputer whose sole directive was to save humanity. It came up with a solution: transform the Moon into a giant spaceship using its core as a reactor to transport millions of embryos to the nearest superhabitable planet. This operation was called the LUNARK initiative. Today, Humans are about to celebrate the 300th anniversary of their arrival on their new homeworld: Albaryne. NOAH rules over the settlers with its droid army, and LUNARK - in geostationary orbit over Albaryne - has become a symbol of oppression for a growing part of the population.
