"This one surprised me honestly since it's not a genre I particularly enjoy, but the unique screen-wrap mechanic and excellent music are enchanting."

6180 the moon has some interesting mechanics, a very cute and simple story and a really good soundtrack. It can take a few levels to get one's head around the screenwrapping but the game does a nice job of easing you in. A nice, casual platformer overall.

Short but sweet, definitely worth the low price if you enjoy puzzle platformers. The soundtrack is great.

I play a lot of platformers and 100% completed this game in 1h 50m for reference.

Pretty addicting game, I was just gonna check it out today, ended up playing for over an hour :p

You play the moon, searching for the sun and visiting all the planets on the way there , asking if they know something about the sun's disappearance. You start with a basic super jump mechanic and then each planet introduces new mechanics and gameplay. although I don't think I've seen the new mechanics combined all together, but then again I haven't played that far into the game.

The levels start off easy as the "moon village" levels are used as a tutorial course, After that you have to buckle up and take some deep breaths as the level's difficulty peaks here and there and you'll need a lot of patience to succeed.
Judging by the achievements, there are quite a few levels to conquer!

I was excited and put my first impressions into a video, check it out -

This is a fun little puzzle platformer with an interesting mechanic. It's a little on the short side but it's the perfect length for what it is and never outstays its welcome. The minimalist artstyle is good unless you are a jerk about graphics and the soundtrack is wonderful.

6180 the moon, for as terrible a title that may be, plays a little like a platformer wrapped up in a children's book. The sun has gone missing, and with the people of Earth becoming distressed as the light disappears, you the moon have taken it upon yourself to heed their plight and discover where the sun has gone off to.

The writing, shockingly, actually wound up being my biggest issue with the game. Not so much because the narrative is flimsy and only the last handful of lines actually matter, but because it continually tries to fit in a rather odd, ambiguous meaning to the experience that never surfaces, and instead just floats around in the spectrum of weird space occupied by discarded poems and first drafts of better works.

If you disregard the story entirely though, 6180 is a rather delicious little platformer with an interesting (if basic and one note) mechanic of continual motion through the top and bottom of the screen. Falling through the ground pops you back out the top, and its with this in mind that platforms and obstacles are setup to require you to manipulate gravity and momentum to get past. The level designs are fairly simple and the difficulty consistently low (save a few frustrating spikes, pun not intended), but it's engaging and relaxing in a way that kept me interested in playing at least for the 40 or so minutes it took to complete the game.

Similarly, the modest but pleasant aesthetics and sleepy soundtrack fit in right along with an experience that seems designed to be played on a raining afternoon, sipping a cup of tea or cocoa without requiring you to process much more than a single button and the position of a few odd platformers. It's not deep, it's not innovative, and I likely won't remember it for very long, but I don't at all regret the time I spent with the moon and find it easy to recommend as a small snack of a game.

Fun platformer with great music about the moon saving us mere humans from extinction due to lack of sunlight. Gameplay is good and its a pleasant trip to the sun and back.

I'd recommend you take it.

This is an absolutely mind benidng platformer with mixed elements that you have never seen before, all packed with a fairly good and quite calming soundtrack.
Walking into this game you must toss aside most of your traditional platforming wisdom. The game takes a completely new take on platforming mechanics and executes a great 2-3 hour experience with it. In this game, falling off to the bottom or jumping through the top (or in the later half of the game, the opposite!) will instead loop you around to the other side, as though your jump went across a cylinder. On top of that, you can't control how long your jump is, making for even more careful (not torturous) platforming. It's completely wild and in the same kind of way that portal does, it just absolutely bends your mind for nearly the entirety of the game.
The soundtrack of the game is zen-like in its nature and even if a level would otherwise be particularly hard and mildly rage inducing, I even found myself just saying "Damn." calmly after multiple failures at just the first part of one level. In fact, I have yet to be actually mad from this game just from it's soundtrack. Your experience may vary, but it is still a great feature.
The only unfortunate thing about this game is that its story is completely lost in translation. You can certainly understand what's being said if you mix and replace some words, but the story is extremely minimal and unless you are someone who plays games almost exclusively for a story then this shouldn't be an issue and may even further lighten the mood because of some silly translations.

Overall, I would recommend the game, espeically for its price point. It knows exactly what it's worth, so if you're interested, give it a whirl.

I actually had no idea what to expect. Okay, I didn't expect much to be honest. But in the end it was a fun, roughly 2-hour-long, quite challenging platformer with a cute story and a super chilling soundtrack. Perfect game if you had an exhausting day.

An art piece, mixed with a video game, and a good one at that. It's short, and the puzzles aren't too complicated, but what you're getting out of this game is an experience. With the great background piano music mixed with the simple yet lovely art style, along with a cute yet wise storyline, 6180 the moon is an experience more then anything else: it makes you enjoy it's content, and sometimes makes you forget you're playing a game. If you've got 3 or 4 bucks to throw at it, I would.

Great game that I highly recommend. It's a simple platformer but it makes you think with it's unique way of doing platforming. The soundtrack is relaxing and it's a good game to kill some time with. My only issue was doing the reverse levels was slightly disorienting at first.

6180 is a cute little frustratingly mind bending puzzle game. The concept is great, the music is great, (so far it sounds similar to Thomas Was Alone. And again like Thomas Was Alone, they give personalities to space objects, like the moon, the sun and the eart etc etc which is done very very well, so you actually end up caring for these things we usually don't think about as having personalities. Worth a try.

a very fun and well made short platformer, it feels kinda like VVVVV but with short levels instead of the 1 connected map in VVVVV, you have 5 planets and each planet has 10 stages ( so 50 stages total and then you play them all again in reverse mode ), a total of 100 short but fun stages makes this game a sweet deal.

Very short, but well worth it's price.

6180 the Moon tells a charming story about the moon trying to find the sun in wonder of where the sun have gone, as the humans on Earth have complained about it being night for too long. It's almost like a children's story interwoven with a fantastically clever and different platformer.

The soundtrack is amazing and sedative, which can make you sleepy and want to doze off. Even though the soundtrack is mellow, it's very fitting to the setting of the game.

It's very simplistic and has great controller support, as if made to play with one. I really recommend you dig into this if you have an hour to spare (and of course some money)!

An interesting, if not entirely unique idea for a puzzle platformer. Recommended for a very low price, if you've got nothing better to be doing.

The music and overall aesthetic are simple but good, and create a calm ambiance that mostly does not get in the way of the game, and does appear to enhance it.

However, the writting falls flat, with spelling mistakes, particularly poor characterisation for all characters, and a mystery plot for which the final reveal is unsatisfying due to being logically inconsistent. It attempts to tell many different aesops, which for the most part are poorly constructed and are universally poorly delivered, and ends up feeling like it doesn't know what message it wants to give. The cutscenes are unskippable and get in the way of the game.

The level design is hit-and-miss, with necessary mechanic explanation levels, exploratory levels, and interesting challenges mixed in with levels which made me question how well the designer really understood their gameplay mechanics. Some almost unavoidable bugs, especially regarding the screen-wrapping mechanic, mostly do not get in the way of enjoying the game.

It is an exceptionatly short game, with my completion time (no extras or replays) sitting at 0.7 hours, and the "Moon Rising" mode adding an extra 0.3 hours. It also has very little replay value due to being a puzzle game.

I would not recommend this game for anything over $5. Fortunately, it is currently on sale for under $4, and I consider it to be worth spending that money for a quick bit of enjoyment.

It's an artsy casual platformer, which may sound bad at first but it's actually pretty solid. It has a screen wrapping mechanic and well done music that keeps it interesting, plus it's pretty cheap anyway.

Excellent game. Similar-ish to THOMAS WAS ALONE (but not nearly as good). I loved that it was a short game. Soundtrack is relaxed and chill. For ACHIEVEMENT HUNTERS: Great game to 100% -- took me just under 2 hours to get all 16 (other hours were when I previously left the game running to get card drops). Recommended.
