What is Arcade Moonlander?
In this single-player 2D arcade game, you steer a spacecraft around satellites, space worms, and gravity wells, landing gently and upright before fuel runs out. Arcade mode uses separate levels, Adventure mode spans a larger map with teleport checkpoints, and procedural modes generate new maps.
For you if...
- +you like searching maps for secrets and hidden fuel
- +you enjoy minimalist black-and-white pixel art
