The first real 3D Black Hole ever in a game! Augmented Reality Space Game: When space is our only chance to survive, we need to explore our solar system, in this augmented reality (AR) space simulation game, in a hope we're gonna have the answers to save our species from impending extinction. There's someone or something out there who left clues and ways for us to contact, but why? Do we wanna know? We have no choice, WE HAVE TO KNOW! ========= VISUALLY STUNNING You're gonna feel like a live IMAX movie theater experience. We pushed AR its boundaries in this game with the perfect balance between, cinematic graphics and best performance. INNOVATIVE CAMERA SYSTEM Our innovative camera system is like nothing in AR so far. Change perspective, yet, but it's still gonna work and feel as the default AR camera (device live camera). No spoilers here. Just download this game and you'll be stunned. 3D SPATIAL AUDIO In this game, space speaks with you. Your position in the real world affects the audio you hear. Just like in real life, you can hear your surroundings. You can listen to "see with your ears" where a strange object is, maybe orbiting close to you. Maybe an explosion nearby. You have to listen to space. IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING This is just the beginning. We plan on expanding the game in future update, with new stages and features. And you will get it without the need to pay more for it. ======== **If you enjoying playing the game, please consider leaving a review on the App Store.

You fly the lander now. Today the whole world is trying the same descent, and the pad does not care how many times you've done it before. MOON LANDER PHYSICS A moon lander game the way the arcade classic worked, with a real rocket: one engine, limited fuel, gravity doing the rest. The Moon at one-sixth g with no air to slow you, then Earth with drag and a crosswind, then Mars dust and Titan's thick sky. Judge the burn, keep the tank, touch down level. TODAY'S GLOBAL MISSION Every pilot, everywhere, gets the same mission today. Same lander. Same pad. Same wind, same fuel, same fog. Three stars, one chance. Your run lands on the global leaderboard — share the result card, see who beat you by how much. FLY AGAINST A REAL RIVAL Each daily mission picks one real pilot who scored just above your best and replays their descent as a ghost beside yours. Close enough to chase. Far enough to sting. Beat them and tomorrow's rival gets harder. CLIMB THE RANK Five ranks. One career. Cadet, Pilot, Commander, Ace, Legend. Every rank hands you a new Commander who briefs your missions and reads out your numbers over the radio. Your Pilot Card is the one-page record of every world you've conquered — meant to be screenshotted, meant to be sent. SIX WORLDS, ONE PROGRESSION • Earth / Boca Chica — chopstick catches with wind, fog, and night descents • The Moon / Shackleton — a classic moon lander game at one-sixth gravity, no atmosphere, no second chances • Mars / Jezero — dust-storm landings on thin atmosphere • Titan — thick-atmosphere drag, slow descents, methane rain • Europa — ice-slip landings, surface stability mechanics • Mechazilla Mastermode — catch a Starship Super Heavy booster with robotic chopstick arms on the first attempt EVERY CRASH WRITES YOU AN EMAIL You don't just crash. You compose an Apology Letter to Elon. Your booster's serial number. The exact descent rate. The wind speed. The moment you over-corrected. Procedurally generated, formatted like the real thing. Some are sad. Some are unhinged. Share them. They are the best part of losing. REAL PHYSICS, ONE STEP AT A TIME A rocket simulator that plays fair. Gravity, thrust, mass, drag — all real. Each world adds one new variable. Earth teaches descent timing. The Moon takes away your atmosphere. Mars adds dust. Titan thickens the air. You learn the same way the actual engineers learn — one constraint at a time. CONTROLS YOU CHOOSE Tilt with the gyroscope or tap. Casual pilots and expert simmers welcome. OFFLINE Full offline play. Daily Global Mission syncs when you reconnect. FREE TO PLAY, NO PAYWALL Free to download and play. Optional one-time Captain's Bundle removes ads and unlocks all current rocket skins. No forced subscription. No signup. No account required. FOR FANS OF The original Lunar Lander. Spaceflight Simulator. Kerbal Space Program. Anyone who watched a real booster come home and thought: I could do that. Land the rocket. Climb the rank. Cross the worlds. The leaderboard remembers.
