Land Star
Cinematic lunar landing: manage your engine, straighten the rocket and set it down gently on a platform. Different gravities, caves, solar wind and moving platforms.

You start with 3 rockets; you earn an extra one for every 4 levels you clear. Progress and high scores are saved in this browser.

How to play
- The rocket: the engine pushes in the direction the nose points, and gravity always pulls down. Inertia is unforgiving.
- Platforms: you can only land on them. The small, hidden ones multiply by ×2, ×3 or ×5.
- Valid landing: descending at under 2.6 m/s, with less than 1.6 m/s of sideways speed and nearly upright (12° at most).
- Fuel: limited. Collect the floating barrels to add 8 seconds of engine power.
- Extra astronauts: approach slowly and the beam brings them aboard: +75 points each.
If you crash, the shot is retaken with another rocket. If you run out of rockets, the shoot is over.
Controls
- ↑WEngine: also with Espacio. Hold down to slow your descent.
- ←→Rotate: (or A D) tilts the rocket to move sideways or slow down drift.
- PEscPause: the game also pauses automatically if you switch tabs.
- RRetake shot: if you've gotten yourself into trouble (costs one rocket).
On mobile and tablet, you'll find big rotate and thrust buttons below the set. With a mouse, hold down on the set: the engine ignites and the rocket turns toward the pointer. It also works with a controller. The assisted control straightens the rocket automatically and draws the predicted trajectory.
