## What is Mars Lander?

Your crewmate has wandered off exploring the Martian planet and now they need to be rescued. Navigate your craft to the designated landing site selected by your stranded crewmate in order to complete each level. 

It wouldn't be a rescue mission without obstacles along the way! Maneuver vicious wind storms, Martian twisters, meteor showers, dark caves, dead of night, polar caps or blast the Martian surface with explosives to gain access to your crew.

Collect coins during your mission in order to reload your bomb and flare payload. Health stars are scattered throughout each level as well. Use these stars to top up on ship health to complete your mission. 

Once you've reached the landing site, descend between the emergency beacons. Watch your landing velocity and pitch. If you're too fast or not level you may not make it!

### 4/5 — I am kind of impressed

*2025-02-14*

I mean, the game could be better besides every time I make a legitimate soft landing in IRL the lander explodes even when I get 1 cm off the grounded explodes so please for the love of God fix this and if you do, I will be so happy developer. Please see this.

Hi this game is super cool not easy to play but fun to play I like it I bet you won’t get 5o level 5 hahahah

### 3/5 — So much potential

*2024-01-09*

This game is 99% done, but the thrust, gravity, and momentum are not set up very well and after every level iOS asks for permission to allow the game to copy the contents from the clipboard (allow paste).

### 4/5 — Good game

*2019-06-10*

It’s a good game hard to learn but it is really annoying after every level that there is an ad

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review Brad! Advertising is a way to make this game accessible to all. You can remove ads altogether through an IAP or ship upgrade!
