Ah, the Moonlit Pixel Quest—what a fascinating myth. I’ve seen the sprite silhouette in a cracked print of a 90s arcade flyer, and the midnight trigger is the kind of hidden mechanic that makes a game feel almost alive. If you can keep the machine running past midnight, the moon rune should pop up in the level’s corner and the whole area will shift into its true pixel‑perfect state. I’ll rummage through some old sprite sheets to see if the rune’s tucked under a frame buffer; maybe we can reconstruct it together. Good luck, fellow pixel seeker.
