Lunar Lander Lunacy
Lunar Lander Lunacy is a combination of a lunar lander game and a space-themed quiz!
Your aim is to safely land your Lunar lander on the surface of the moon by achieving a safe velocity of impact (below 10m/s).
You do this by burning your thrusters, which you can power by correctly answering a series of space-related questions.
However, take care not to fly off into deep space!

I felt I was doing well with the quiz, but then I kept crashing lol. Guess I'm not as knowledgeable as I thought! Fun concept with this game, and I really enjoyed the art that was used as well! Great atmosphere in this game (pun intended). Good work!

I wasn't fast enough :)
Fun idea. You could improve the game by adding some kind of decision tokens each time you answer correctly and not just have "burst" as an automatic action.

Very fun, hard to play for slow readers like me ;-)

Neat idea. Very hard to coordinate the thrust. In my second game, I started to go back up, and then I waited to answer a question, but I took too long, so my velocity increased too much to survive. Some of those questions were really hard. Nice work.

Very neat game although quite hard. I sadly did not succeed in the landing, there was simply too little time for me to read the questions. Well done!

Fun application of the theme. It seemed like rate at which your thrusters burned wasn't able to compete with the acceleration of gravity, so if I didn't just mash answers hoping for the right one I would wind up hitting the surface at >50m/s or more.
Besides the balance issue, this was great! Loved your super retro style :D

Ok, either this is a very hard game or I'm just very bad at space questions. :grin:
Even when I'm answering as fast as I can, without many mistakes a crash into the moon :cry:
But the idea is nice, maybe add a option for difficulty that changes the thrusters force.

Ah. almost did it with 14.7m/s at impact.
My best success was with spamming one of the options without actually looking at the questions.
I have a feeling that was not the intended approach.
Maybe thrusters power should be reduced on wrong answers to reduce this and probably also the correct answer should be rewarded abit more power to allow time to read. All in all well done! It kept me playing for 5 rounds, which is alot more than I have normally for this reviews. Good job!

But i found an easy workaround, i just quickly press a random answer. That way, i can easily stay at 90+ thrust. Overall, really nice game and great questions!
