Gameplay
''Mighty Milky Way'' tasks players with guiding Luna, a French-speaking extraterrestrial, safely towards a portal at the end of each level while avoiding enemies and electric barrels. Each level is filled with small planets, each with their own center of gravity, which Luna walks around clockwise at a speed controlled by the player. By kicking off of planets, in some cases destroying them, Luna can propel herself through space in a specific direction, sometimes swayed by a planet's gravity. Kicking off a planet also causes any enemies on it to fly off its orbit, which can be used to destroy other obstacles. By collecting pieces of candy, Luna can create additional planets to help her navigate difficult sections.Reception and legacy
The game received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Reviewing for IGN, Lucas M. Thomas praised the game's unusual design, and described the game as challenging. Thomas said the game requires repeated attempts for each level but that "''Mighty Milky Way''s frustrations almost always feel like the good kind". This game is the only one in the ''Mighty'' series that is extremely rare due to its sole availability on the Nintendo DS and 3DS, respectively. Because of the eShop's closure on March 27, 2023, it is now considered a lost game. It is only saved by users that have purchased it prior to March 2023 and by WayForward itself.References
