Unity Of Factors has released a [[http://unityoffactors.bandcamp.com/track/stay-awake-little-fillies-luna-game track]] dedicated to the game on their bandcamp.

Six of the games[[note]](plus the Luna Game 0 Demo, which has its own unique ending)[[/note]] can be found at [[http://www.lunagame.net this site]].

* ShoutOut: The “screamer" sound effect is taken from VideoGame/SonicAdventure.

But, the most noteworthy is the main {{Creepypasta}} series--created by an anonymous programmer--which each start out as a seemingly innocent, 2D {{platformer}}. (That is, [[SurpriseCreepy until the horror shows up]])

** Many times, the series makes use of edited versions of original WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic songs[[note]](sometimes obvious, sometimes not)[[/note]].

* FollowTheLeader: In its following, the Luna game series has inspired numerous responses of fan-made WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic {{creepypasta}} and other {{horror}} games; including the infamous VideoGame/StoryOfTheBlanks, the VideoGame/DreamyRainbow series; and inspired the ''bad'' ending to ''VideoGame/SuperFillyAdventure''.

* NumberedSequels

* PlatformGame
* PsychologicalHorror: Often by the accompainment of FridgeHorror.

* UnwinnableJokeGame: Every single Luna Game.
** Subverted in Luna Game End and Luna Game X.

* CruelTwistEnding: [[spoiler:It is revealed[[note]](well, actually only strongly hinted)[[/note]] [[KickTheDog that Luna had went insane and brutally murdered Pinkie Pie.]] [[TheDogBitesBack Pinkie, in turn, had since then been tormenting her out of revenge. i.e. Luna had caused her own hellish nightmare and eventual death.]]]]

-->'''''[[DramaticPause ...]][[JumpScare THI]][[ForegoneConclusion S ISN']][[WeWillMeetAgain T OVER]]'''''

* AllJustADream: [[spoiler:The good ending.]]
* MultipleEndings: But it's not a choice in the game itself that decides if you get the good ending; rather, it's whether or not you've [[spoiler:completed Luna Game 4 and 0, and have [[OldSaveBonus kept the files that prevent you from playing those games again]].]]

* [[BeingWatched Being Listening To]]:
-->''"--SHH! Someone is listening"''

* FanSequel

** One of the [[ShadowPeople shadow ponies]], a filly, drops a line from ''Film/PoltergeistIII''[[note]](although, this may, or may not have been intentional)[[/note]]:

** As {{Homage}}, the end sequence uses an almost perfect port of [[spoiler: Giygas's Lair from VideoGame/EarthBound]].

* EyeAwaken: Pinkie does this at the end of a cutscene, [[spoiler: just before she charges at you]]

!!!''The Lunar Game''

Another very short fan-parody of the Creepypasta series, made by [=CertaintyPrinciple=], which particularly puts light to the part in the first game where the player has a possibility of getting stuck in a pit. Can be found [[http://certaintyprinciple.deviantart.com/art/The-Lunar-Game-270752509 here]].

* [[BottomlessPit Bottomless Chasm]]
* DeathIsDramatic:

* MadnessMantra: If the immense amount of text files created in the game's aftermeth is taken into consideration--each with ''"The End is Neigh"'' as the only text--then it counts.

* EasterEgg: If you play between 11PM and 5AM, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQoRqtZpx8Y a track]] from {{the white chamber}} will play an hour after the game finishes.

* UnwinnableJokeGame: Every single LunaGame.

* AllJustADream: [[spoiler:The second ending.]]
* MultipleEndings: But it's not a choice in the game itself that decides if you get the good ending; rather, it's whether or not you've [[spoiler:completed Luna Game 4 and 0, and have kept the files that prevent you from playing those games again]].
