The "Buried" landing pad

Disclaimer – this game was received as part of a challenge among friends. To say that this title is "heavily inspired by" Lunar Lander is putting it mildly. This is a buggy clone with additional "features" that don't add to the experience. The physics are just far enough off to feel wrong. Thrust mostly seems to work, but acceleration trails off far faster than it should. The maps themselves did seem random to a...

Buggy, poorly designed crap. Even a straight-up clone of Lunar Lander would have been far superior. Ignore my play time - I only played this game for about 30 minutes before giving up, and idled the rest of it for the card drops. I'm embarrassed to have left the game running that long. I guarantee you won't make it even 5 minutes before running into a bug that causes multiple landing pads to spawn, with at least one...

I actually have more playing time that .1 hrs because the game crashed with a "surface Stack" error. It is a bit buggy and the thrust mechanic seems "off". The game is okay. Fly sluggishly to the right and luckily avoid asteroids because it's impossible to get out of the way once one is aimed directly at you. Level 3 has a bug. You fly right through the landing pad! There is another one below it, but it's odd. You...

the game reminded me of old arcade games, but not as good as them. the ship controls are a bit troublesome, the ship is too slow, the rays coming at you are too fast, there is an imbalance. the art design of the game is very nice. so you can try it, but I don't recommend it very much.

It's a game where we overcome obstacles by simply doing right and left, and we look for a suitable place to land the vehicle we use and land it. it's a simple game that you can spend a few hours.

Cosmic Poineer The working functions of the game are alot of fun. I did manage to play for a couple hours but the landing pads are glitched. Thats the main thing with this, its fun, its challenging, its just broken.

Space here feels like a dull office with extra stars. Every click is trying to train a robot boss. I wanted adventure - got a Mars tax manual with zero caffeine. 3/10.

#16 of ~69 in my "How many games can I get for under $5" review series. You fly, you land, you progress. That's all. It's an enjoyable little dollar store game that should probably be free to play. I got it at a huge discount even after it was priced so cheaply, and if you really want to play it I recommend you find a way to do that same. It's not bad, just limited. Don't go in expexting a rich experience, this...
