I figured a 10 second limit on gameplay might be a bit restrictive, so I plumped for 10 seconds of rocket fuel. As Neil Armstrong died on this date 1 year ago, I thought it might be fitting to base a game around the last moments of his moon landing.
As in the real moon landing, the fuel warning indicators give bogus readings due to the fuel sloshing around in the tank. Try to ignore the warning lights, you have 10 seconds of continuous burn available to make your landing. If you think you're not going to make it, abort the mission.
It's possible to use too much fuel landing the ship. If you do that you'll be stuck on the moon.
I've started working on a post competition version of the game. If you want to see the latest version, you can play it here:

Issues addressed in the new version:
* now easier to land
* sound effect volume reduced
* you can no longer crash into the warning messages
