Read full description

One small lander. Ten worlds to explore. Thirty bosses to face. Moon Lander Arcade is a space action game for iPhone. Control your thrust, sprint, reverse and fire your laser to get past meteors, UFOs, enemies and obstacles. You have six lives: terrain collisions and enemy attacks can damage your craft. A UNIVERSE IN MOTION From the Moon and Mars to Saturn’s rings and the Sun, every environment has its own identity. Explore Neon Prime, a technological planet with glowing cities; a Dyson sphere surrounding a star; a black hole with a luminous accretion disk; Rose Aurora; Verdant; and Bubble Ocean, with waves, floating bubbles and leaping fish. Craters, clouds, passing ships and animated details bring the backgrounds to life. 30 BOSSES, INCREASING DIFFICULTY Face bosses with different attacks and patterns. Each successive boss raises the challenge: decide when to accelerate, reverse and use your laser. CONTROLS AND SETTINGS • Dedicated controls for thrust, sprint, reverse and laser. • Compact indicators for lives, distance and energy. • Separate switches for sound and haptic feedback. • A wheel picker for language selection, including English and Italian. • High score saved on your device. • Privacy and Terms accessible from Settings. • No ads and no account required. Gameplay works offline. FIRST BOSS FREE Play for free through the defeat of the first boss. To continue and face the remaining 29 bosses, a one-time in-app purchase unlocks the full game. No subscription. You can restore your purchase in the app; purchasing and restoring require a connection to the App Store. Fire up the engine and chart your course.
