Game overview

Classic descent discipline

Lunar Lander distills the retro arcade experience into a quick web challenge. Manage your thrusters with arrow keys, rotate the craft to counter drift, and reduce vertical speed before touchdown. Overshoot the landing zone or hit too hard and the mission explodes.

Controls

Arrow-key piloting

  • Up arrow: Fire main thruster to slow descent.
  • Left / Right arrows: Rotate the lander.
  • Land softly on the green platform to complete the level.

Tips

Feather the throttle

  • Pulse the main thruster instead of holding it down to conserve fuel.
  • Get level early—counter sideways motion before you're close to the surface.
  • Keep descent speed below the safe threshold before committing to landing.

Why play it?

Instant skill test

  • Quick restarts make it easy to chase the perfect landing.
  • Simple controls yet satisfying mastery curve.
  • Ideal browser warm-up for fans of physics-based arcade classics.
