In Planet Lander, you take control of a spacecraft and traverse treacherous galactic caves on distant planets in search of the elusive landing platform. What starts as an easy cruise through open spaces soon transforms into a test of your piloting skills as narrow paths, dangerous laser turrets, and drifting space debris stand between you and your destination.
Inspired by the classic Lunar Lander, Planet Lander adds a modern twist with more intricate challenges and a competitive edge. Manage your fuel wisely as you rotate and thrust your way through increasingly tight passages. Each mistake, whether it’s colliding with a cave wall or getting caught by a laser beam, could be your last.
With obstacles like turrets that fire deadly lasers and debris that move in predictable yet perilous patterns, each level introduces new layers of difficulty. Later stages grow longer and more complex, forcing you to strategically collect fuel barrels to ensure your survival. If you run out of fuel or crash, it's game over.
Features:
Skill-based gameplay: Master the art of thrusting and rotating to avoid walls, lasers, and space debris.
Challenging levels: From wide-open areas to tight, dangerous caverns, each level pushes your piloting precision to the limit.
Fuel management: Collect floating barrels to keep your ship powered up through the more demanding stages.
Laser turrets and space debris: Avoid different types of laser turrets and maneuver around moving obstacles with care.
Online leaderboards: Compete against others and see how your best times stack up on global leaderboards.
Cloud saves and achievements: Progress is saved in the cloud, and each level completed unlocks an achievement with a total of 21 to collect.
Will you land safely, or will the galaxy claim another ship? Test your skills in Planet Lander and aim for the top of the leaderboards!
Gravity is a b**ch!
[h1]Short game of not hitting the walls with a spacecraft[/h1] [b]Free version available on [url=https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/740297]NewGrounds[/url][/b] This is a very brief moon lander style game but lacking many of the expected features of such games. You fly a spacecraft through caves, littered with three types of enemies (turrets, periodic lasers, and asteroids) and try to reach the end. The landing is automatic - there's no need for positioning and/or soft landing. The background and wall colors are different in each level. Unfortunately, in some levels they are close to each other, which can be a source of accidental death and annoyance, despite the generous hit boxes. See the store's screenshots and my screenshots below for examples. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2165373672 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2166284401 Controls are slick with WASD or arrows, or gamepad.

2+ hours of fun for 99c! music is great.
This game is as basic as it gets—simple mechanics, short playtime, and a minimalist design. But somehow, it just works. The controls feel smooth, the soundtrack is pleasant, and if you’re into chasing leaderboard times, there’s some extra replay value. It’s a short experience, easily beatable in under an hour unless you’re grinding for top times. There’s also a free browser version with all the levels, but it lacks leaderboards and feels a bit laggy compared to the Steam release. If you like small, polished games that focus on tight gameplay, this one is worth a shot.
