### 5/5 — Arcade Style Fun

*2016-07-17, version 1.3*

I accidentally found this game through AppAdvice and decided to try. I love casual games and one just can't beat the price. So, I installed on my iPad Air and was taken back to the late 70s and early 80s. I used to play a game called Lunar Lander. It was a vector graphics game very much like this one. This is better though because there are things to knock over or blow up, you can pick up power ups and navigate elaborate caves, not to mention the graphics are so much better than the simple line images in vectors. There are also timed trials that really make you learn to control the lander. Control is the secret to success in this game. 
The dev says in the game that this game makes no profit, that it's a labor of love. I thank you for sharing this with us. It will make me happy for as many hours as you put into writing it, and I know that must've been many, many hours.

### 5/5 — It's fun

*2016-02-03, version 1.2*

I think this game is a lot of fun. I like flying in 0 gravity, it's fun

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2013-10-18, version 1.2*

I got to thinking about the old windows 3.1 lander game a few days ago and downloaded this. Great, classic, and super addicting. Tricky but not frustrating. Still stuck on the last level, though...

### 5/5 — Very fun!

*2013-03-07, version 1.2*

A lot of fun to play.

### 5/5 — Brilliantly executed

*2013-03-05, version 1.2*

Great job. Great physics. Music is mesmerizing. Fun to play. Final levels are maddening.  Menu words are hard to select but game play is superb.

### 5/5 — Hours of fun update to rating!

*2013-02-25, version 1.2*

Cool graphics and soundtrack, not too difficult not too easy!

Update to my previous rating. 
Still fun, but OMG, second planet is pretty difficult.  :-D

### 5/5 — Quite fun!

*2013-02-23, version 1.2*

It's a very fun! I'd say it should be more around the 99 cent or maaaayby 1.99. Cent range.  This might be just because I've been spoiled by stellar cheap games in the past.  overall extremely addicting, challenging but not too difficult. And quite a bit of depth!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-02-21, version 1.2*

It's like Lunar Lander but all gussied up.

### 5/5 — AWESOME!

*2013-02-19, version 1.2*

I can't put it down!

### 5/5 — Very Kool!

Well done, fun game ;)

### 5/5 — Like it!

*2013-02-18, version 1.2*

Great app the guy inside is kind of dorky you should change it

### 4/5 — Challenging fun!

*2013-02-18, version 1.2*

Cool sound effects, nice graphics. If you have ever tried flying one of those small radio controlled helicopters, it is reminiscent of that.

### 5/5 — Sweet

Fun

### 5/5 — Nice

*2013-02-18, version 1.2*

### 1/5 — NOT free!

*2016-07-18, version 1.3*

This app is advertised as being free right now.  It's not.  After five screens, they want $1.99 to continue.  If this is supposed to be a promotion, it isn't working.  Deleted!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on new iPad

*2012-04-05, version 1.1*

Screen is black in all iPad orientations except one horizontal, there is a black frame rotating seen as you rotate the ipad3.  Once I see the display, no menu options work... Touch control isn't there.

Was four stars ipad2, would be 5 stars with icade support.  Perfect game for icade!

Will update this once fixed.  Four stars or five stars with icade control.

### 2/5 — Achievements won't be recognized

*2013-04-01, version 1.2*

I've met the requirements for achievements but they won't be unlocked, I play games until I get all the achievements or at least all within reach to get the points. This hasn't been updated in a year and I hope they'll get to it soon.

### 3/5 — great!

*2013-02-17, version 1.2*

pls add iphone5 screen support!!

### 3/5 — Good game, Needs HUD improvement

*2011-12-17, version 1.0*

This is a really good game. It seems to incorporate enough new mechanics to keep it intriguing. 
The HUD displayed on the bottom of the screen needs points displayed, such as where is the final landing zone, and possibly all of the stars? I have wasted fuel searching and failed because I couldn't find the landing zone; with %100 stars.

### 3/5 — Needs tilt controls

*2011-11-30, version 1.0*

Virtual buttons do not work for this type of game. You need tilt control and tap to thrust. I cannot tell if my thumb is on a button and find myself crashing into walls a lot.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2018-03-29, version 1.6*

It’s worth a download easy...

### 4/5 — Great game, lots of fun

*2017-01-16, version 1.6*

Motion of the spaceship is good, game is fun to play.

### 4/5 — Fun Game

*2016-11-17, version 1.6*

Easy to get into and fun to play.  I just started playing and I'm enjoying it.

### 4/5 — Fun lander game.

*2013-02-21, version 1.2*

Still miss the old lunar lander game.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great graphics and gameplay.

*2019-09-27, version 1.6*

I was looking for a game similar to Lunar Lander or Gravitar. This is a under appreciated gem.

### 5/5 — Old school fun

*2019-06-14, version 1.6*

Great free started game and cheap full game experience. I truly enjoyed the challenge and old school feel. It has been a while since I have been obsessed with a game and felt accomplishment by beating challenging levels. If you used to sink quarters into arcades to keep playing, then $3 for full game fun isn’t a big deal.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2019-03-02, version 1.6*

Controls well and plays well. I like this a lot. Only thing I can complain about is that some of the menu buttons are too small. Great work overall by the developer!

### 5/5 — I love it.

*2016-12-04, version 1.6*

I used to have this game on my old iPhone 4 and just recently got a 7+ and I remembered this game and had to download it. It's really fun and kept me playing for hours or I could put it down and pick it up again later in the day and enjoy a quick game.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2016-11-26, version 1.6*

Please develop more levels. Super fun! I keep playing it over and over because its challenging and entertaining.

### 5/5 — Mr

### 5/5 — Great Fun

A fantastic game the likes if which haven't been seen on a portable device. Easy to play difficult to master. Just a great game.

### 5/5 — Five star game

*2016-07-18, version 1.3*

Good game, controls are simple and very touchy. Takes some skill to make it through some of these worlds. Please keep up- dating!!!!! Didn't mind a bit paying two bucks for such a good game. Addictive

### 5/5 — Good Lunar Cave Game

*2016-07-17, version 1.3*

What a great game. Incredibly fun, intuitive and just downright challenging! Some levels are stinking hard as heck to master, but always rewarding and fun to play.
