It doesn't get much simpler than this: land the Lunar Module on the landing pad (but not too fast!) and all is well. But then it does get a little bit harder: moving platforms, meteor showers, and even black holes can start to make it get a little crazier. Eighteen levels should give you half an hour of entertainment. It's 8-bit style arcade action, suitable for anyone who remembers what a video arcade was like, and likes the color green.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Plucky Rocket at 100% against Retro Lunar Lander's 50%. Plucky Rocket also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 124 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Retro Lunar Lander's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
