Release beta 5 and 6 (August 2022)

I focused to implement all side elements that improve the user experience, such as check-points, achievements and the support of joysticks. I also released a light demo version, playable in web-browsers.

Release beta 4 (May 2020)

Lot of improvements have been made on the models and the rendering, with a complete rework of the moon modeling.

Release beta 3 (Nov 2018) and before

I built from scratch the game on PC with OpenGL. The game concept has been extended to a 2D platformer with 3D rendering. I've put lot of efforts to create the custom physic engine.

Prototype (~2003)

The initial idea was born in my math class, and so I implemented a game on the programmable calculator TI-82. The program is lost unfortunately.
The player controls the engine thrust of a vessel attracted by the moon's gravity. The goal is to land without exceeding a certain speed and with limited fuel. In fact, the vessel can only move vertically.
