The Royal Cosmonautical Society

(Biased review, TL;DR, only play casually if you haven't touched the genre) I got this game, to summarize, on a challenge lottery. It looked cool on paper, managing a ship through hazards and collecting stars to go back to your platform. On paper, I emphatize. It will be a great experience for those who already played this genre and are looking for more, or for dedicated people who don't mind getting used to awkward controls. Technically-wise it works, and there is also a quick reset button which is very much appreciated. HOWEVER, that's where the pros ends. I hated the insanely slow turn rate. I get it's to represent lunar ships but it's so heavenly punishing words aren't enough to express my hate for it. I hated how the momentum sometimes gets so strong that you need a few seconds to stop it. Crucial few seconds for the timers. I hated how the ship crashes if going too fast while landing on its own feet. Though I understood it. I hated how you have to do a particularly perfect landing for it even to count, otherwise it won't work. Going too fast? Try again, the ship will keep moving, likely fall to the side and crash or have you waste precious seconds of time. Landed too close…

Quick Score: 5/5 Notes: Incredibly fun yet simple arcade game. Tons of content, decent amount of variety with new mechanics introduced in every stage, fairly challenging speedrun times. Only thing the game is missing is a soundtrack. But overall, banger game and a hidden gem. Highly recommend. And if you end up being a fan of this game or the concept, I would also suggest checking out DROPSHIP. Another more recent game with a similar concept though quite a bit different.

This game is wonderful. A mix of 1986's BBC Micro Thrust, 1979's arcade Lunar Lander and even a little of 1982's arcade Gravitar in terms of graphics and mechanics. For those that crave games that require pitch-perfect control and gravity to contend with, this is the game for you. 10 worlds, different mechanics on each, global leader-board for speed-runs and a 1-3 star rating depending on your time, this is perfect for people like me who enjoy a challenge. It's easy to mess up each level as you learn what's needed to be done and exactly how you're going to do it in time, so a quick restart with a button press is a very welcome addition. And in order to unlock further missions and worlds you have to at least be fast enough with your timing and hand-to-eye coordination to get a rating of 1 star. At this price, it's a real bargain and hidden gem, and one that I'd have missed if someone on YouTube hadn't cited it. 10/10

Really nice tribute to classic lunar lander. There are 10 world, each with some unique gimmick. Most of the levels were actually fun to play. Worth giving a try.

I've really enjoyed this game. It's an excellent modern successor to the older lunar lander games, with lots of modern physics puzzle twists and in the visual style of Geometry Wars.

This game is really cool. You think you know exactly what this game is going to be, but perfectly executing a stage feels more rewarding than I expected, especially once the game gets HARD. I usually don't care about leader boards, but I have to admit it feels good to break the top 10.
