How to play

  • Gravity pulls you down all the time; the engine is the only thing that does not.
  • A safe landing needs low speed, a nearly upright angle, and both legs on a pad.
  • Each pad shows its multiplier: the narrower it is, the more it pays.
  • Fuel is limited and does not come back until the next landing.
  • Touching rock, or landing too fast, destroys the lander.

Tips

  • Kill your sideways speed first, then worry about height — horizontal drift is what ruins landings.
  • Short bursts hold altitude far better than one long burn.
  • Aim to arrive above the pad with almost no horizontal speed, then descend straight.
  • Leave fuel for the final metre: the last two seconds need the most thrust.
