Arcade Moonlander

Arcade Moonlander is a precision flying game about guiding a spacecraft to landing pads before its fuel runs out. You must land gently and vertically while avoiding satellites, space-worms and other obstacles. Its three modes offer timed challenges, exploration and procedurally generated levels.

Arcade Mode

Arcade Mode has 30 levels, no time limit or lives, and saves your progress when you complete a level. The radar points you toward your goal, and you can access the tutorial at any time. The game records your best time for each level and your overall best time across all 20 levels; the description gives both figures. The game is designed for speed runs, with a timing and score system, while secrets and hidden fuel tanks offer reasons to replay levels.

Adventure Mode

Adventure Mode takes place across a much larger map, where teleport pads provide a way to progress and serve as checkpoints. You encounter dynamic obstacles including gravity wells, space worms and falling stalactites. Multiple paths through the level offer routes for different skill levels, and discovering Fuel Tanks makes it possible to complete all paths in one run. A mini-map helps you explore and locate your goals.

Procedural mode

Procedural mode generates an infinite number of levels and currently has three play modes: Quest, Time Trial and Practice. Leaderboards track Quest progress and Time Trial results. Each game uses a seed that lets you replay the same levels, or you can use a random seed to explore. The generator currently produces one map style at varying difficulties.

Other features

The game has a retro sci-fi art style and soundtrack, over 40 achievements, and leaderboards for fastest times. It supports controllers as well as keyboard and mouse.
