🌕 Emotes Update! 🎭 + Player Feedback implemented!

Big update today — Together Moon Escape just got a whole new way to communicate (and mildly annoy your friends): EMOTES!

You can now make faces, gestures, and questionable hand signs at each other while trying to survive the Moon’s charmingly lethal environments. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new:

💬 The New Emote System

You can now:

• Play rock-paper-scissors with your partner (and lose, obviously).

• Throw the Heavy Metal horns like the true lunar rockstar you are.

• Say “No” dramatically when your teammate suggests something stupid.

• Give a thumbs up when they actually do something right (rare, but it happens).

• Clap to celebrate victory... or mock failure. You decide.

• And the big one — a Pointing Emote! You can now literally point at something in the world, and it’ll ping a marker on your partner’s visor. Finally, no more “uhh... it’s that rock next to the other rock.”

All emotes work with keyboard/mouse and gamepad (yes, we tested it this time).

🪓 Bug Fixes & Quality of Life

We’ve fixed a bunch of nasty bugs that were haunting the Moon. Here are some highlights:

• Fixed the Great Lunar Crater death loop, where falling down used to respawn you halfway up a cliff with no way out. (You’re welcome.)

• Split-screen co-op is back! You can now play with two controllers again. There’s a tiny bug where players sometimes swap screen positions between levels… but hey, life’s about perspective.

• Cleaned up translations to clarify that the lever in level 3 must be held, not violently pushed.

• Polished some level art, especially in the Slime Zone. A few stray decals went missing, probably devoured by slimes.

• Added controller support to the emote wheel, because moon explorers deserve comfort.

Basically, we fixed about a thousand little things. (And probably created two new ones. That’s how it goes.)

🚀 A Little Dev Update

The Steam Next Fest went way better than I could’ve hoped — the demo was a hit, and we tripled our wishlists! Thank you so much for the support and all the chaos you brought to the Moon.

I’m a solo developer, so every wishlist, review, and comment helps a lot (and keeps me from turning into moon dust before release).

This project is now my main focus, and I’m pushing hard to launch the full version around March — assuming I don’t get lost in the crater again.

Thanks for playing, thanks for laughing, and please, don’t point at me with the emote too much. It’s unsettling.
