Game Description

Lunar Lander

Lunar Lander is an old game concept, dating back to very early computers from late 1960s. Of course back then we were still trying to actually go to the moon, so a whole game genre was born. First versions were text-based, but as computers evolved, so did the game, eventually becoming a graphical arcade game in the late 1970s.

This is my version of the classic arcade game where you control a lunar module trying to land safely on the moon's surface. You must manage your fuel and control your descent speed using thrusters to avoid crashing. The goal is to land gently on designated landing pads while navigating the moon's gravity and terrain.

This game does not have any sprites. This game is completely made with JavaScript canvas API, so the graphics are basic. The game is all about the physics and the challenge of landing safely. Try to beat you high score by landing successfully multiple times in a row, just like in the 1970s arcade version!

🕹️ Controls:
