About this game
Bring the craft down gently on the pad. She is below, and the cover retreats as you descend — so getting closer is the reveal, and the last few metres, where the landing is actually decided, are where most of her appears. Which sets up the temptation the whole game is built around: dropping fast shows her sooner and lands you badly. Three things have to be right at once. Not coming down too hard, obviously; not arriving sideways, because that tips it over even at a crawl; and being over the pad at all, because a gentle touchdown on the rocks is still not a landing. Hold anywhere to burn and the left or right of the screen to steer, so the controls are wherever your thumb already is. Each phase narrows the pad, moves it, takes fuel away and asks for a gentler touch. Two crashes end it: one is a mistake, three would be a grind. Eight sequences drawn at random each game. Nothing to install.
