Fly a borrowed rocket for company wages, buy your own ship, and build a shipping company across four alien worlds. Lunar Lander is a physics lander game about careful flying and big ambitions. Tilt to steer, touch to thrust, and land gently: every job pays when you touch down safely back on the pad. FROM COMPANY PILOT TO SHIPPING MAGNATE Start with a borrowed Tin Can and a courier bag. Save for a deposit or buy your first ship outright, pay it off, and climb the ranks: Independent Pilot, Owner-Operator, Company Owner, Frontier Operator and, at last, Shipping Magnate. The depot always shows your next step, and a career roadmap shows how far you have come. SEVEN SHIPS, EACH WITH WORK ONLY IT CAN DO • Tin Can – a nimble courier that squeezes through narrow caves • Mule – a light lifter for slung cargo, water tanks and fragile eggs • Longhaul – long range for routes other ships cannot finish • Bulwark – a heavy carrier that clamps big loads under its hull • Starling – a passenger liner for crews, rescues and a festival choir • Anchor – harpoons asteroids and tows them home • Leviathan – a giant recovery carrier for the heaviest rocks of all Pick the right ship for each job on the depot carousel, then upgrade its engines, fuel tank, hull and winch, and paint it your way. FOUR LIVING WORLDS Fly over purple ridges on Littlerock, warm gardens on Hearth, misty marshes on Verdigris and the lava fields of Cinder. Every world has painted plants and creatures, a distant skyline, and caves hiding extra loot for pilots who explore. Plants burn, fire spreads, and animals have minds of their own. DOZENS OF JOBS • Deliver parcels and medicine through tunnels and over passes • Sling cargo under a lifter and set it down upright for a bonus • Ferry passengers, rescue a crashed survey team, and race rising lava to evacuate a mining crew • Burn a firebreak before the wildfire reaches the homes, or drop water on burning reeds • Lead heat-seeking soot hounds away from the mine with your exhaust • Herd wildlife to safety, plant seed pods on scorched ground and carry a nest of eggs to a safe ledge • Plant sensor beacons deep in a cave, haul freight across a wide map, or tow a giant meteorite home • Blast ore seams, drain lava lakes and prospect asteroids in weak gravity PLAN AHEAD Take on ventures and regional projects that pay off over several flights, open operating berths on new worlds, and keep an eye on the rates: fly the same job again and again and the pay drops until you try something else. FUEL IS EVERYTHING Early routes have fuel canisters in the air; later work expects you to land and refuel. Every landing counts. FREE, WITH NO ADS No ads, no in-app purchases and no account. Your career saves on your device. A brand-new Lunar Lander, rebuilt from the 2012 classic with a whole career to fly. Questions or ideas? Email support@honkhonkpunch.com.

Read full description

Advanced Space Flight is a realistic space simulator for interplanetary and interstellar travel. It is the only space simulator available that takes into account relativistic effects during interstellar flight. Besides simulating space flight, this app can also be used as a planetarium, with all known planets shown in real scale with their accurate keplerian orbits. It can also be used as a star chart and exoplanet explorer, showing all solar systems with confirmed exoplanets within 50 light years from the Sun. This is the only app where you can get a sense of the true scale of the Universe, zooming out through thousands of galaxies and galaxy clusters until you see the entire observable universe in your screen. Locations with full access: - All inner planets in the Solar System and its moons: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Phobos, Deimos, Ceres - Nearby star systems: Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri, Sirius, Epsilon Eridani Locations with partial access: - All solar system planets plus 5 dwarf planets. - All confirmed exoplanetary solar systems within 50 light years. - Experience the full scale of the Universe: you can zoom out from a few meters to billions of light years, until you see the entire observable universe in your screen. Flight Modes: - Realistic Flight: Travel using optimised trajectories, calculated based on the orbital parameters of the origin and destination planets to minimise fuel usage. These are the kind of trajectories that would be used in a real space mission. - Free Flight: Take manual control of a spaceship in space, activating the engines as you see fit to achieve your goals. Spaceships: Advanced Space Flight features several spacecraft, but only one in available in this free version: - Space Shuttle (Chemical Rocket): Designed in 1968-1972 y NASA and North American Rockwell. It has been in service from 1981 to 2011, making it the most successful reusable spacecraft ever built. - Falcon Heavy (Chemical Rocket): Designed and manufactured by SpaceX, made its first flight in 2018. - Nuclear Ferry (Nuclear Thermal Rocket): Designed in 1964 by Ling-Temco-Vought Inc. - Lewis Ion Rocket (Ion Drive): Designed in a 1965 study by the Lewis Research Center. Artificial Satellites: Several human-made satellites are present in the app: - Sputnik 1 - Hubble Space Telecope - Internation Space Station - Kepler Space Observatory - Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) - James Webb Space Telescope Join our discord community for discussions or suggestions about the app: https://discord.gg/guHq8gAjpu You can also contact me by email if you have any complaint or suggestion.
