Lunacraft: A Minecraft Clone Lost to Time

- Welcome to Lunacraft, a mobile Minecraft clone that was released on iOS back in 2012! Unfortunately, it's no longer available, and can only be played by those who happen to still have it installed on their phone. This is a game I have a fair amount of nostalgia for, and there isn't much good gameplay of it on TH-cam, so I figured I'd dive in and showcase it in a bit more depth. Let me know if you want to see more!
Apparently I'm an idiot, because there was an astronaut lair right in front of me at 14:02. Also goofed with the magnetite LOL
Please make more videos playing Lunacraft
wow I specifically looked up Lunacraft cuz I was feeling nostalgic and I’m so glad I found your vid! pls make more?
this really brought my back to playing this on my moms phone lol along with MCPE Lite cuz we were too broke for real Minecraft 🥲
@@cale7034 Glad I could revive good memories! I plan to play it again soon
I remember playing this on my iPod Touch 4 back in the day lol
I think I remember being vaguely aware of this as a kid. there were so many games on the app store that have just dropped off the face of the earth now
Luckily a lot of them are actually archived for download as ipa files. And now there is an ios emulator that can run games from up to ios 4! So they arent all lost!
@@bigboi9856there’s an emulator? Where can I get it, I’d love to plat Lunacraft again.
Fr. It all feels like one of those dreams that you can’t remember if it really happened or not
@@bigboi9856what’s the emulator?
Me too
Im glad that im not the only one that remember this game
I still play it every now and then. If they could just port it to computer, I would play it all the time.
@@ralphyreece4687 wait you can still play it? Where
@@NoneAlphan I downloaded it ages ago, And I have it still on my phone. The window is tiny, but still playable.
I remember playing this game and being scared of the white giraffe things XD
thank you for making a video about this game, I was beginning to think it was just a fever dream of mine. shame it got taken off the appstore tho
Glad you enjoyed! I plan to make another video on Lunacraft pretty soon
Hey, just wanted to drop in and say thanks for uploading this. Great little gem from a bygone era of gaming. Wish I could’ve grabbed it before it vanished.
That said, hope you revisit it at some point, especially seeing how the gameplay was supposed to progress and what an endgame version of this charming little mobile game could’ve looked like.
Thanks for stopping by! Super glad to see other people have as much nostalgia for this game as I do. This won't be the end of Lunacraft content; more to come real soon.
The game just came across my mind randomly when "minecraft moon mod" was mentioned in a vid. This is a pretty recent upload 👌 to accommodate my curiosity for the past.
I miss this game. A shame I can't get it from my previous downloads on the app store anymore. It was such a weird, desolate, dreamlike experience with the insanely fast night and day cycle. I never did figure out the crafting fully.
I just found this guys vid too, was feeling nostalgic and wanted to see what I was missing. Cool that this was so developed for a free game. Hope there’s a way for it to be recreated or something
@ Stay tuned ;)
@ I mean if the company that made it disappeared and the game is no longer available it could legally be considered abandonware. All it would take at that point is to get someone with a working copy to manage to upload it to the internet, like the old need for speed games on PC
I remember playing this on my iPad, this brings back memories
gf and I just found your channel and we love it!! keep up the chill videos
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
Might be a wrong place to ask, but this game is extremely similar to a game I used to play in around 2011. The game I'm talking about was like, this exact game, but on pc. It was also a bit darker, and had more content. Specifically, it had actual xenomorphs as enemies from what I remember, multiple tech items like boots that allowed you to invert gravity, different levels of jetpacks and gear, and one other thing I explicitly remember is that you could sometimes find alien shrines or ruins, and find a special mining bot in them. You could then program it to mine out huge areas for you.
If you or anyone else here remembers the game or how it was called, please reply- I've been searching for it for literal years now and I just cannot find it.
I'm afraid that's not ringing any bells for me, sorry.
@@sepulous YES, LET'S GOOOOO
I've been looking for the game for so long and finally I found it. I played it as a little child
More content on it coming soon
Me and my sister used to play Lunacraft before and this brings back a lot of memories
Thanks for stopping by!
Man I used to play this for hours as a kid pls make a whole series of this game!
On it!
After seeing Eden came back after like 7 years of disappearance, I was hoping Lunacraft may come back. Who knows, maybe one day.
I have a strong feeling it will, even if in a different form.
@@sepulousplease make more videos on Lunacraft, you’re the only person online I’ve seen have commentary gameplay of this app before.
@@mynoflambago9779 Will do. Glad you enjoy!
came here after I watched the trailer for Cubic Odyssey. Reminded me so much of Lunacraft which I use to play on my ipod as a kid back in like 2011-2012 era 😂
Wow, I didn't know this existed but it is super reminiscent of Lunacraft. I'll have to give it a try
I’m lucky enough to still have the add-free version on my phone. Hopefully this can be properly preserved one day.
Very lucky! And I hope so too.
i remember when i was around 6, i had this INSANELY small phone and had lunacraft on it. Nostalgia..
I think I first played this back when I had my iPod touch 5th gen lmao those were the days
i need an OST of this game... holy

@@sepulous i cant believe this just happened, THANK YOU!
I miss this game so much I rly liked it it was so weird and desolate
Stay tuned, I intend to bring it back
Love the video! Definitely a good big of nostalgia from this app when I played it 10 years ago. If there was a demand for a remake of this game for the sake of preservation, I’d love to remake it in Godot if someone had the assets neatly packed in a folder, but sadly finding any content of this game beyond imagery is near impossible.
Sorry, I thought I sent you a link, but apparently not. Here: drive.google.com/file/d/1ZlKegjPwfa7l31zdqaeFsAdFUkNNQunB/view?usp=sharing
I remember playing this game on my ipod that was so sick.
Just thought I'd hit everyone with a blast from the past. I'll be uploading more on this soon...
great video! I can see ur channel will be big one day!
Thank you! I hope you're right!
@@sepulous let me know if u wanna collab some time :)
It’s really interesting seeing this game pop-up again. I wonder if there is anyway to get into contact with the developers.
Also your knowledge on this game is kind of crazy
In 2022 the site for the game redirected to a personal site for who appears to be the sole developer, Charlie Deck, where he displays his various projects. According to the entry for Lunacraft, "In hindsight, further development would no doubt have been lucrative. Whatever the case, I'd moved on to other, fresher challenges once Lunacraft was out in the world." You can check this out on the Wayback Machine. Still not sure why the game was pulled from the app store.
I don't know nearly as much as some people do about the game's details, but there's lots of good information on the wiki, which is still running somehow.
Woah..i played this game..
Welcome back... TO THE FUTURE
I played this game 10 years ago but I cannot recover it 😢
Yup, apparently most people who knew the game are in the same boat. That’s why I decided to make this :)
Is there a way to @ the company and ask for them to release the files so ppl can play on pc or mobile again? Idk I just miss this game so much and kept trying to remember it and feel sad I just missed last call to download it before it was gone off the store. Maybe if I restore my old iPhone 3, sigh
I'm working on a project I think you'll appreciate, but in the meantime I can link the files for version 1.8.0: drive.google.com/file/d/1ZlKegjPwfa7l31zdqaeFsAdFUkNNQunB/view?usp=sharing
omg i remember this game as a kid
Stay tuned, I'll be bringing more Lunacraft content soon

When I played, you could shut your data and wifi off and that ads wouldn't load.
Interesting. I guess this is our "goodbye" present lmao
