Community Insight:
Im a fan of games like this. Simple enough to learn in a couple of minutes, but fun to master. No junk, all game.
Love love this game. Thrilling and calming. Would love more levels and ability to delete progress to start over instead of deleting and reloading game. Would love to see the buggy jumping over a canyon or time challenges. More please.
Elon Musk couldnt have created a better game.
Love this! Took a chance on it and havent been able to stop yet. The physics are terrific and gameplay is challenging but with a little practice its a load of fun. The only critique we would have is make the controls just a little more visible. Other than that we cannot wait until an update that has more missions! Good job! UPDATE: Picking up the extra astronauts in order to get 3 stars on many of the levels is proving to be close to impossible. Just finding them is frustrating and uses a great amount of fuel. They also run away from you when you go to pick them up (why they would do that we have no idea). Might want to make it just a little easier for us simpletons to accomplish.
This is the same Dev that makes Ships of Glory and Nuclear Fighter Bomber (check those out if you havent yet). Ive had NFB on Android since a long, long time ago. We had no idea that he made all of these. We can just get his games sight-unseen and pretty much know itll be decent. Everything this guy makes is fun. This is no exception. We like lunar lander-type games, and this is in that genre, with more of a plot. Pretty cool. One request if its at all possible: for some reason, we got used to playing landers with the left button firing the left thruster and vice versa. Sort of like Im pushing off. The first thing we have to do is usually reverse the defaults in lander games. An option to reverse the left/right thrusters would be great. That said, another fun game. Added: nvm, found how to flip the controls.
Bought this and started playing it and quite impressed. Not an easy game, but the challenge is straight forward and worth the effort.
We love this game, if you like lunar lander youll enjoy this game. It has the base lunar lander mechanics and adds a story and improves on the mechanics of lunar lander. Pros: fun, calming, retains lunar lander mechanics. Cons: Graphics could be improved, Controls could be improved.
Ok so Ive had this app for a while now and we love it! Its super fun and immersive. We enjoy the sandbox mode and all of the ships. However Im a bit confused. In the sandbox mode, some of the ships have little ropes on them with light on the end and when you press the button with a little lightning bolt they flash red. Im not sure what this does and do t k ow what it does. We would really appreciate a developer response so that we can use this feature. Aside from that, the only thing we can think of is a bit more customization. But overall really good game.
We have three stars on each level except the last (io 6). The last level appears to have a bug where the rover breaks while sitting on the transporter. No matter how gentle you are, you cant get through the level without it breaking which takes away a star.
Touch points in corners too small. Oversteering is a constant in this game. Not a lot of fun.
Ive been playing lunar lander games since the 70s, and this is the first one that gleefully and randomly rotates your craft when both thrusters are applied evenly. So much for physics (and fun).
