I Wish I Were the Moon
An artgame about a love triangle inspired by Italo Calvino.
I shipped the first version of this game in 2008 and it was part of the artgames movement, along with my better known game, Today I Die.
Since that time, artgames have grown in size, ambition and willingness to explore all sorts of subjects, but this game was part of the initial movement that helped put artgames in the minds of press, players and other developers.
So I decided to honor it by making a version that works on current tech and adjusted the design to my current sensibilities.

nice game
Classic, it's been so long since I've seen this game..
It's a really nice game
Still a classic, loved this one 15 years ago and I love it now.
how do i get i am your moon
put the girl on the moon
I first played this back in 2008 when I was 12. It was the first of the artgames I remember playing, and really influenced me. Now I've got a BFA in Game Design and I'm working on an MFA in order to be a games academic. Actually just shared this game with one of my professors to incorporate into a class. So thanks for remastering this and making it available to all!
I got all 6 endings :D
Great game (:
im a lil dump for all ending but its cute
This is a great little game! I love the art and had a blast trying to figure out how to get all of the endings. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the secret ending despite watching two walk throughs, unfortunately :(
nice
thank you so much for keeping this game alive!!!
I played this way back when! Thanks for rereleasing it.
how do you get the last one? I have tried everything I could think of and cannot seem to get it.
great game btw
You have to get rid of the boat, the moon, the boy, the girl, the bird, and the shooting star.
I put the boy and girl on the moon, caught the shooting star and used it to blow up the boat, then when the moon was sinking in the water I placed the boy and girl on the bird, deleting it. Once the boy and girl fell into the water I got the acheesement.
No way, I remember playing the original game way back! What a fun surprise seeing it again :D
Still just as great as I remember it being :)
What's pico doin' there?
Anyways, I got all 6! I loved the game!
got everything nice. plays out like a brilliant logical puzzle. Reminds me of the river tiger and goat puzzle
It's still so peak after all these years
if you were the moon you'd be a sphere by then
6 of 6
awesome game
Recognized immediately the style of Today I die that I played back in the day.
What a throw back, thank you for preserving these games!
6/6 gg
6 of 6 ez
I'm a tad frustrated that All Empty has to be so specific. I assume it includes the shooting star because I got rid of the moon, boat, girl, boy and bird....
to the moon?
To the moon, though!
I remember play this game around 2009. Glad to see on itchio
I don't know how to get 'Bring Me The Moon' or the secret ending, pls help
For Bring Me The Moon, you're supposed to grab the moon when it's in the background and give it to the boy.
If I remember correctly, BURNED! was the secret ending. It was recently removed.
Loved the original, love the new version <3
Qué belleza. Eso sí, tratando de conseguir All Empty me saltó un final "undefined". Me salta siempre que quemo algo con el meteorito. El indicador le suma 1 al contador de finales, pero no marca ninguno de los que hay en la lista.
This was and still is one of my favorite flash games from back in the day, thank you so much for putting this on here!
I love this game ❤️
Después de platinar storyteller y disfrutarlo un montón, lo último que pensé fue que iba a ser del mismo creador con el disfruté hace más de 10 años este juego en un navegador. Sos un genio, chabón. Éxitos en tus próximos proyectos
I played this for hours as a child, along with a very old prototype of storyteller. It made me realize how many things you could really do with games.
I don't know I play this game for full ending, lmao
Fa, me acuerdo de jugar esto en newgrounds como hace 10 años, ni sabía que eras argentino jaja
<3
nostalgiaaaa
omg throwback
Un clásico!! rejugando otra vez!! Gracias che.
<3
