Crashed Lander (itch)
About
Outwit gravity, race the clock, explore new worlds.
This is a gravity-based arcade game inspired by classics like Lunar Lander and Space Taxi. You'll pilot your craft from pad to pad trying to beat your best time – then flirt with that fine line between speed and control.
If you're brave enough to try Hard Mode you'll be flopping around like a QWOPy, low gravity turtle. With a little practice you'll be zippin' around doin' barrel rolls. You can also pilot your lander in virtual reality with your Oculus Rift.
You'll see sites from the cutting edge of fractal mathematics - bizarre organic shapes, arcane archaeological digs, and all manner of WTFderful alien vistas. You'll also find a variety of physics-based obstacles and challenges to test your piloting skills. Each level is a hand-crafted landscape that encourages the player to explore - and goof around!
Version 3.1 now available with new levels, new options menu, improved VR support, fresh sound effects - plus leader boards and Steam achievements!
Version 2.5 includes 10 new levels, new particle effects, smoother physics, new progress tracker - dozens of changes and improvements.
