I seem to be running into a bug where the velocity gets mis-matched somehow -- the velocity will be listed as above -12 m/s even though the rocket is actually going up, which obviously makes it impossible to land.

#153This game is gorgeous! It would be nice if the left and right thrust controls could be swapped.

Re: Show HN: Lander, a lunar lander style web game
#155Nice 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).
I felt the same about wanting left-right to be swapped when I played on mobile, and I crashed every time. However, on desktop, the controls feel just right (with the arrow keys) and I landed every time. Could also be related to the vastly larger screen space on desktop.

#156very good one! Though it wasn't completely clear to me how rating was calculated.

#157Pretty fun! I like trying to make as many flips as possible: Basically a fender bender, but you landed Score: 45.4 point landing Speed: 3.5mph Angle: 9.5° Time: 62 seconds Flips: 18 Max speed: 86.8mph Max height: 1276ft Engine used: 32 times Boosters used: 55 times
Flipping is really fun. If you do really many you'll get the color particles in straight lines coming down:
