LUNAR LANDING

A way oversimplified simulator for the Apollo program.

Control the Lunar Lander with two controls: The left and Right Arrow key.

Pay attention to your instruments! Warning signs indicate wether your velocity is low enough to attempt a landing and your attitude, altitude, and thrust are all displayed on screen.

Includes sound effects taken from the actual Apollo missions (https://archive.org/details/Apollo11Audio)

Take it slow and be patient. Good luck landing on the Moon!

I think more gameplay could be a little bit more fun ^^'

Nice choice of audio, and the gameplay was nice however I personally think that the two buttons over-simplified something like this. Nice game though, I liked playing it!

Good audio, but you should add a mechanic or gameplay

Love it. Great vibe! Wish there was more, but two buttons and all. Good job

Great mood. Not very innovative game play, but well executed.

Really like the use of actual Appolo audio!

The lack of thrust control made the descent a bit confusing, considering I started flying away from the moon on my first attempt haha. Fun game though :)

Nice atmosphere, it was tense and calming at the same time!

Nice sound design. It took me a while to figure out how to get lower on the surface. I almost flew back to orbit a few times. But I landed. Would make giant leaps again.

Loved the audio, you had made it blend in very nicely there. Was hard to figure out how to actually control the lander, for a long time I was just floating and spinning around. As a mood piece it was nice listening to the radio com though!

It's a good idea and was interesting to play! The audio was (naturally :-) ) very fitting.
If it would look a bit more like an 80s game (Battelzone anyone?), it would be great.

This drew me in. The command center radio chatter made this feel real and important. So much so that I got really nervous landing! Relieved that I succeeded. Super minimal, but effective through well-chosen detail. Awesome.

Interesting idea but I don't really understand how I am supposed to slow down this "vertical speed".
Good mood though.
