Remember Lunar Lander?
It was a classic arcade cabinet game from the 1970s. The era of Space Invaders, Asteroids and Defender.
If you need a reminder, below is what it looked/looks like. You can play Lunar Lander online to this day. It’s considered a classic for a reason.
The core gameplay was simple: you controlled a spacecraft that needed to land.
The craft only had a limited amount of fuel. You controlled the thrusters and rotation. Inertia and momentum were realistic. Contact with any part of the scenery other than a landing pad meant instant destruction.
In SpaceLander, the aim of the game is the same. Land your spacecraft.
But exactly where to land? And how much fuel will it take? And what will you have to face before the end?
SpaceLander is a mobile game for web, Android and (coming soon) iOS devices.
You can play the web version on Itch.io here: https://makktu.itch.io/spacelander
The mobile version is also free.
There might be a SpaceLander 2 in the works…
