### 4/5 — Game Improves!

*2025-07-05*

Version 2.1 of the game RAELander has brought several improvements to the space landing RAE-Tro classic! I have written a past review for this game before the release of version 2.1 and I have given it 3 stars. This game deserves another star for the greatly needed improvements that the developer has given us. I really appreciate the sound design that has been added as it gives the base game more polish. Not to mention the noticeable mechanics for the scoring system. I think having it be so you receive a higher score the less you use up your fuel gauge is a great way to encourage more accurate and quick landings. I usually don’t review a lot of apps and games so forgive me if there’s something that I wrote that didn’t make sense. I’d recommend more people try this game out! Thanks Steve Rae!

### 3/5 — Alright game

*2025-03-21*

I am writing this review for future people who decide to get the game. The game itself runs smoothly and there is little to no lag on my part. I wish there were sensitivity controls for the ship rotation, as it is way too sensitive and makes the ship turn too quickly. The game physics are fine, the ship crashes when you hit the ground (that is not the green line) and to beat the level, you have to carefully land your ship onto the green line. There is NO sound in the game however, so I had to give this game 3 stars. Do I recommend? Only if you are bored and would like to keep your mind occupied.
