About The Sun And Moon
The Sun And Moon is a minimal physics platformer with a soft, two-tone green look and an abstract world of blobby, rolling ground. You run, jump and use a single action key, and the physics decide how far your momentum carries you.
Levels are picked from a level select, and you can restart any of them with one key. It's an experimental jam game, so the rules are something you learn by playing: try the action key in different places and watch what changes.
You can play The Sun And Moon online here, starting from the level select, with the whole game on the keyboard.
How to Play The Sun And Moon
- Click inside the game window so it reads the keyboard.
- Move left and right with A and D or the arrow keys.
- Jump with W, Up or Space.
- Press Left Shift, Right Shift or Z for your action.
- Press R to restart a level, Esc to return to level select or the title, and M to mute.
- Work through the levels from the level select.
What to Expect in The Sun And Moon
Expect a short, inventive jam game built on one movement idea. The art is spare, almost like a map, in pale and dark greens, and the calm look gives your attention to the way you move.
Because it's experimental, some levels feel more like puzzles about movement than tests of reflexes. It may have a bug or two, which is normal for a game made over a weekend.
Tips for The Sun And Moon
- Play in Chrome if you can. The game runs most reliably there.
- Use R freely. A clean restart often beats trying to rescue a bad attempt.
- Try the action key on different surfaces. This physics platformer rewards odd ideas.
- Watch how your speed carries into a jump, and use that to clear wider gaps.
- Play The Sun And Moon free in short bursts. Press Esc to hop back to level select when one stage has you stuck, and come back to it later.

What is the goal in The Sun And Moon?

Who made The Sun And Moon?
The Sun And Moon was made by Daniel Linssen for Ludum Dare 29, a weekend game jam, and released on itch.io. FunClicker embeds that original browser version with a credit link back to it, and the credit for the design, code and art belongs to him.
Can I play The Sun And Moon on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook is a good fit, since the game runs best in Chrome and only needs a keyboard. Phones are a poor match: you need keys for moving, jumping, the action and restarting, and those are hard to copy on a touchscreen.
Is The Sun And Moon unblocked at school?
The Sun And Moon needs only a browser tab, with nothing to download. Whether it opens on a school network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If it loads, the levels are short and you can stop at any point.
Why does The Sun And Moon glitch in my browser?
It's an older jam game, and it runs best in Chrome. Other browsers can show small bugs. If something looks wrong, reload the game there before assuming a level is broken, and press R to restart the stage if you get stuck in a bad state.
Is The Sun And Moon a jam game?
Yes. The Sun And Moon was built for Ludum Dare 29, a weekend game jam. That explains its size and its focus: it takes one movement idea and builds a set of levels around it, rather than piling on features.
