By far the best looking and most technical lander I’ve seen, and I’m learning from every crash. Another one bites the dust....
This looks cool but recently got Lunar Rescue Mission. That said this looks quite a bit different. Thoughts for anyone who has played both?
This game is amazing. If it’s space related, I usually bite. I’m glad I did with this one as I see it staying on my phone for a long, long time. From audio to graphics to gameplay, I’m loving every aspect of this simple but very challenging gem.
Like the previous post... This game is a great ride! From the lovely visuals, the fast game play, and the first rate Hans Zimmer style movie music this game has exceeded my expectations! What a fantastic couple of weeks with this and my other new favorite lunar lander Lunar Rescue Mission being released on mobile! By the looks of it I’ll probably finish it rather fast so I hope there are plans to expand. Superb app! Highly recommended!!! P.S. Really like how you get to customize your Lander! Wish there was a way to hide the HUD for uncluttered screenshots. Pure Eye Candy!
Hello, this is Vojislav Dimitrijevic, creator of the game. I just wanted to post an important update here as well. Due to a problem that is being investigated at the moment, some incompatible devices are listed and allowed to install the app. Any devices that use a processor older than A8 are unfortunately not supported. This includes: - iPhone 5S & 6 - iPad Air 1 - iPad Mini 2 & 3 The problem lies in A7's partial support of the Metal Performance Shader functionality, and as such are flagged as supported devices, but do not support it fully, which causes a crash immediately after intro has finished playing. I am in contact with Apple as we speak and am trying to find a solution to eliminate that problem, if possible. On another note, THANK YOU for getting the game and I am incredibly happy that you like it! As a single person developer, it is truly special to hear that people like and appreciate the game after so much hard work. Thank you!
So people are mentioning Lunar Rescue Mission but no one has answered my question on how this compares to it? It is it a lot different? Just not sure I need another Lunar Landing type game but this does look cool.
It’s completely different. If you ck out the vid you’ll see. It’s fairly fast paced and the viewing angle certainly gives it a different feel. It’s really all the different things that make it fun... the visuals, the storyline, the custom Landers, and the Music. Well worth the price of a horrible cup of Starbucks coffee.
It’s entirely different. Whereas the normal lunar lander-type games focus on safe landings after successful navigation, this is an evolution of the genre, successfully bridging the gap between arcadey avoidance and a proper landing simulator. It’s flipping gorgeous, brilliant, so much fun and has that “okay, just one more before I bugger off” aspect to it.
Definitely a lot of fun, 5 stars. An additional suggestion for version 1.1 would be to let the player restart the mission during any point in time as you land your ship. Sometimes the player knows within 5 seconds that they need to restart the mission after going off course or getting hit by an asteroid. Metalcasket sums up the game perfectly.
Functionality for this is already in the game, however, the input is the problem. I still haven't found the perfect way on iPhone how to call up the, essentially "pause menu". The best candidate was a corner button, at the top left, however, beta testing revealed that some, not many, but definitely some users preferred to play by tapping the upper corners and they found it frustrating to constantly pause the game. So, I'm back to the drawing board, thinking of gestures vs UI vs notches vs... who knows what else. But the feature IS in the game and will definitely be a part of v1.1. Thanks for confirming my doubts
The objective is to establish a base on each planet or moon in turn, which involves multiple landings to deliver colonists, supplies, communications equipment etc. Missions often require modifications to the lander, and worlds have varying gravity and atmospheric conditions, so there is continual challenge in order to progress.
Suggestion : let the lander remember my control thruster position / angle from mission to mission so I don’t have to reposition them every time Great game, pure eye candy Anyone tried using a mifi controller with this?
Believe it or not, I am actually working on that very feature at this moment! If testing proves stable, it will be included in v1.1. Thank you!
