Doesn't work for me. I can't get past "2 arrows at the same time". I press them, and see flame from both side thrusters, but the game doesn't register that I've done 2 arrows, and does not let me play. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0

#112Tried to get a good landing with as few control actions as possible. For a simple new scoring system, subtract your number of control actions from your landing score: Very nice landing, amazing Score: 90.5 point landing Speed: 2.9mph Angle: 0.2° Time: 18 seconds Flips: 0 Max speed: 53.7mph Max height: 425ft Engine used: 1 times Boosters used: 3 times So, a score of 86.5 in the new system.

2 arrows: up and any of the lateral thrusters together ;)

#114Nice one. The left-right feel swapped to me, but I fail to give a factual reason. Also reminds me of two 90s era DOS games: Ugh and some other about landing on Moon. Similar to yours, but the lander looked like a small tower/crate (for lack of better description).

Fun game! After climbing to 1 million feet, it took over 500,000 more to finally reverse direction with the ship pointed down and the engines firing.

Well, my middle finger is numb, but I beat 1000 points. I took a straight path upward, and then switched to a horizontal -90° burn, slowly shifting to a -135° burn as I got closer to the ground.

#118Think I found a bug! Left the tab (on Firefox mobile on Android) and then revisited it, and now it says: "Perfect landing, incredible, you can't get better than this" with a score of 102.3 (I'm assuming 100 is supposed to be the max score?).
Re: Show HN: Lander, a lunar lander style web game
#119Couple of great UX things I’ve found - the game doesn’t let you play without knowing how to use the controls, and it shows them in real time - whenever you tap, the tap area lights up. Small Details that make a difference!

#120It would be nice if the "how to play" screen gave keyboard equivalents. I was about to give up trying to play until I saw someone's comment about arrow keys.
