#62Good fun. A couple of ideas, zoom in as you approach the landing site, it's hard to see the difference between 4mph and 1mph; and consider having no landing spots, like craters or sharp edges; finally, some slow flying asteroids to avoid every once and a while. Consider planting a little flag from previous landing or tombs on crash sites on restart, to have some continuity. :)

#64Crashing sideways is fun, the exploded parts continue to wrap around the screen if you "land" sideways fast enough :D.

#65Left and right are backwards on a phone. I'm sure I'd adapt after a few more games, but it's annoying.

#66The amazing thing is all these lunar lander games are harder than actually landing the lunar lander that landed on the moon. That's right it used a computer stabilized system and featured a fully automatic landing program however every lander was actually landed in the semi automatic mode where the pilot controlled the descent but the attitude was still maintained by computer.
And they used an analog computer to integrate and display the landing trajectory in real-time, just like in this game iirc.
Lunar module guidance was fully digital. Analog computer was partially used in Saturn V.

#68Fun game! It would add more to the game imo if there was a fuel efficiency target as well as angle and speed.

#69Great game! For me, controlling the rocket was not that handy, somehow I always wanted to press the opposite button. Will be a option to swap the left and right buttons? That would be great! :)
