Public Alpha Demo: In Development
Welcome to an early look at Moonlight Cow: Guardian of the Night, a cozy-dark retro platformer about restoring lost moonlight with the help of a small but mighty companion.
This public alpha demo represents ongoing development and is being shared to gather feedback and grow a small community around the game. Recent updates include reworked early levels, an initial overworld map for World 1, a Moon Shard collectible system, and updated tilemap art. You may still encounter bugs, balance quirks, or unfinished elements and that’s all expected at this stage.
Controls (Keyboard)
WASD - Move
Space - Jump
H - Run
J - Action
K - Switch to Pipkin
Gamepad is supported and recommended.

Hey, nice work sofar, I have a few opinions to share:
- When it first pans down its a little jarring when it stops abruptly.
- Level select is nice.
- When first told about pipkin, there should be some coins visible that the player can not reach, past the waterfall feels too late.
- If you play the first 3 levels, it feels as if you have played most of what there is to offer. I understand there is more, but overall, it feels a little too slow.
Interested to see where this goes!
Thanks for the feedback and checking it out!
nice bird
Thanks for checking the game out and recording it!!
very cute and fun
Thanks Michael. I hope to have an update soon to the demo. Redesigned and More levels!
i like it - it plays really well and looks great . only downside for me are the keyboard controls which are awkward ! you should add arrows for movement , z x for other stuff for older players (like me !)
Eventually I will allow keyboard rebinding which should fix that. I appreciate you taking the time to give the demo a try!
