Description

Lunar Lander is a typical variant of the classic game of the same name. The lunar lander is falling to the moon and the player can apply thrust to brake it. Each 10 second interval the player must give the command of how much thrust to use. Depending on the chosen difficulty level the player has a certain amount of fuel. Fuel also contributes to the weight of the lander causing thrust to have more effect later in the journey. The goal of the game is to land with a safe speed (less than 10 meters a second).
