About Crashed Lander
Outwit gravity, race the clock, explore new worlds.
Crashed lander is a gravity-based arcade game inspired by classics like Lunar Lander and Space Taxi. You've built a janky craft out of propane tanks and spare parts. Pilot it from pad to pad trying to beat your best time – then flirt with that fine line between speed and control.
If you’re brave enough to try Hard Mode you’ll be flopping around like a QWOPy, low gravity turtle. With a little practice you’ll be zippin' around doin' barrel rolls. You’ll see sites from the cutting edge of fractal mathematics – bizarre, organic shapes, arcane archaeological digs, and all manner of WTFderful alien vistas. Each level is a hand-crafted environment that encourages the player to explore - and goof around! You can also pilot your lander in virtual reality with your Rift, Vive, or other SteamVR compatible headset.
Version 3.1 is available now with better performance, improved VR support, new options menu, new tutorial, and a first person camera mode.
Crashed Lander was part of the first wave of VR games on Steam. Original released for the Oculus Rift DK1, and updated eleventy-hundred times as VR grew and headsets advanced. This is a 3rd person VR view with lots of camera motion, it might make some people uncomfortable. There is no support for motion controls, a gamepad or keyboard/mouse is required.

Hey guys, I found this game some time ago cause it was on PayWhatYouWant. When the trailer started to play a "wow this is cool!!' came out of me. Now with the global-leaderboard update I got the chance to do a restart of the game. (trying to beat the Dev Don for the highscore (-: ) Make sure to read the instructions and tips, e.g. update to Beta via the shortcut in your steamlist and extra keys for you to look around and play the game in first person view. I don't have a VRset but this might be the reason to look into it... I hope it comes with anti-gravity pills tho... LOL * Bonus - There is even a 5 level demo for you to try... Hope to see you on the leaderboards, make sure to wave when you pass me please! Greets from Holland ;-)4 found this helpful
Wasn't sure about this game from all the bad reviews, but it's quite the changeup from most VR games out there. VR actually adds to the depth of the gameplay as you can better see the terrain and navigate your vehicle through the 360 labyrinth as fast as possible. Your vehicle will explode if it takes too much damage. I wish there was a way to know how much damage your vehicle has taken though. It seems as soon as it starts smoking, it's about to explode. I do recommend this game, especially if you can get it at the current sale price of $2.49. There's lots of levels to get stars in (like mobile games), but each level is pretty unique (some levels look the same, but have different challenges in them). It runs smoothly and the different languages added make it quite unique (even the credits are done interestingly). I played this game with xbox controller on Oculus Rift and I had zero problems. Ran very smoothly. Rating 7/10 considering the value here2 found this helpful
Two ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hours and still can't get gamepad to work with it, menu page seems pretty ♥♥♥♥ though so not looking forward to much if I ever do get to click on play game.2 found this helpful
Got this many years ago to test my knock off PS3 controller, and enjoyed it. Now with a Steam Deck I'm really enjoying it, I probably should set up gyros to control the camera to see the killer clouds chasing me....
The game looks a lot better but it isn't much of a game.
a bundle of fun. well done.
