you know if you've listened to me over the years that I am just a sucker for a cinematic platformer.

Give me some jumping, but also it looks gorgeous, or I guess in the case of limbo and inside,

or reanimal or little nightmares.

Nightmarish, uh, nonetheless, you give me a little guy, a weird little girl, and we're going to run around,

and we're going to jump, and we're going to push some crates.

I will be there no matter what, which is why I really enjoyed Planet of Lutna from a couple of years back.

This is a cinematic platformer that really emphasizes more of the game part than a lot of these other games do,

in which the difference between aesthetic and game

or rather the ratio is different between a lot of these. And in Planet of Alana, which is very

story focused but also very game focused. So it has a lot of the hallmarks of what we would call

a cinematic platformer, but one in which,

hey, you're also feeling really satisfied when it comes to the puzzle element.

And that picks up in Planet of Lana 2 as well, which is out this week on, I mean,

basically every platform imaginable.

So I was fortunate enough to have a chance to talk with the two co-directors of Planet

of Lana 2, Adam Hueneuse and Klaus Erickson. I'm pretty sure I got their names right. Apologies to Adam and Klaus if I got it wrong. I tried so hard. I wrote it down phonetically and anyone that listens to Remap also knows that I struggle. I try. I try. Anyway, it's a wonderful interview in which we talk about, what does it mean to make a game with one of your best friends that you've known since the equivalent of middle school?

What does it mean to make a video game in which one of you lives in Sweden and one of you lives in Australia, which means that for one of you, it's the morning and one of you, it's the evening?

What does it mean to make a cinematic platformer in 2026 when the market for those is a lot

different.

Random just came out.

Little Nightmer's 3 just came out.

It is just a different space than it was.
