FAQ

What is this app about?

This app is a challenging game where you use your device's accelerometer to control a shuttle. The goal is to land the shuttle safely and upright on a platform on the moon by managing its thrust, speed, angle, and position before running out of fuel.

How do I control the shuttle?

You control the shuttle by tilting your iPhone. Tilting up and down adjusts thrust and speed, while tilting left and right controls the angle and position of the shuttle for a precise landing.

Is this game free to play?

Yes, this application is distributed for free. It was originally provided as sample code for developers and is made available for everyone to enjoy without any cost.

What happens if the accelerometer stops working?

If you encounter an issue where the accelerometer stops responding and you cannot control the shuttle, the recommended solution is to quit and relaunch the application. This usually resolves temporary glitches.

What makes this game difficult?

The game is designed to be nearly impossible to win, requiring significant practice and precision. Successfully landing the shuttle upright on the platform demands careful control of speed, angle, and fuel management, making it a true test of skill.
