User reviews

Terrible, audio, game play, ground texture...ugh

It's really bad... I was hoping it would be like lunar lander like on steam.... That one is great.... This one could of been close buts it's just terrible.... The author hasn't been doing anything in the AppStore... Maybe it was a school project, and he has a job or something.. Bye bye. ah well... I want my four bucks back... This game and the sky city skydiving one he made... Both junk but I couldn't test the. Unless I bought the ... Buyer beware

Love this game

Great game. Realistic physics and takes an age to master. Better with later iPads that have the processing power to make it smooth. If only there were more missions!

Needs Some Work

Disappointed…version 3.1 is out and it doesn't fix the hanging problem. The game is almost unplayable on my iPad Air.

Interesting app. Version 3.0 needs some tweaks.
The vehicle "Hangs" near the ground…sometime it is speed, sometimes it is the altitude…it just sticks. That makes it harder to land, or work close to the lunar surface, than it would be. If that is the price of the better moonscape, then I would rather go back to the previous version for smooth, controllable "flight".

Another issue that needs addressing is that by the time the mission is complete, there isn't enough fuel to return to a base, at least in the missions I have flown so far. Some rescue!

How about a version 3.1? Fix these issues and I'll give it more stars.

So, I just plowed into the side of a mountain at 173 m/s...

This is certainly an adjustment, and the controls and underlying physics will take some getting used to, but for two bucks it's a decent deal. The tutorial walks you through basic controls, but unfortunately lets you figure out landing on your own - hence this review's title. Bare minimum graphics and sound, but it delivers what it promises - and if the geography is accurate, I'm impressed. If you're a fan of Microsoft Flight Simulator, or even remotely interested in microgravity piloting, go for it - just don't expect to do well right out the gate.

Excellent

This has tons of depth and a great flight model.
If you are into the Apollo missions it's what you are after. It's not perfect but hopefully updates will come.
