Rocket is a Lunar Lander variant. Like in the original game the player is tasked with putting a lander on the moon, by adjusting the fuel consumption rate each second. The player must avoid smashing into the lunar surface by gaining too much velocity or running out of fuel. Rocket's additions to the original come in the form of a graph that plots the distance to the ground giving the player clearer feedback of the situation.
