How to play Moon Lander
Bring your lunar module down gently on one of the flat landing pads. Each pad shows a score multiplier — the narrower the pad, the bigger the reward.
Controls
- Keyboard: ↑, W or Space fires the main engine; ← → or A D rotate the lander.
- Touch / mouse: hold the ⟲ ⟳ buttons to rotate and the Thrust button to burn.
A safe landing needs
- both legs on a pad (anywhere else is rough ground),
- vertical speed under 4 m/s and horizontal speed under 2.5 m/s,
- the lander tilted less than 10°.
The HUD turns green when a value is safe. Burning the engine uses fuel; when it runs out you can only fall.
Scoring & levels
A landing scores 100 × the pad multiplier, plus a bonus for leftover fuel and a gentle touchdown. Every level has new terrain, a little more gravity, less fuel and, later on, sideways solar wind. You have three landers; a crash costs one.
Tips
Kill your sideways speed high up, then descend vertically and give short bursts near the ground. The view zooms in automatically when you get close.
