Gun Lander

Gun Lander is a twist on the classic arcade moon lander games, featuring a spaceship whose only means to fight gravity is to shoot downwards!

Navigate 40 short but intense levels, shoot to fight gravity, land on landing pads (but not too fast!), avoid shooting friendly buildings and destroy any enemies you find. 

Controls

Controllers, keyboards and touch controls are supported. Controllers are recommended, but the game is doable with keyboard too. Good luck to anyone using touch controls ;)

Some users are reporting keyboard issues with the native executable on Linux. That seems to be an issue with the Pico-8 machine, which I can't do anything about. As a workaround gamepads work in the native version, as does keyboard on the web version. Loading the cart into Linux native Pico-8 also works fine with both keyboard and gamepad. Running the Windows executable with a compatibility layer might work too.

 Gun Lander uses the default Pico-8 control scheme, that being:

  •  Left/Right: With the arrow keys, WASD or the dpad/joystick on your controller
  • Shoot/Accept: Z / C / N / (A) or (Y) on Xbox controllers
  • Retry after a fail: X / V / M / (B) or (X) on Xbox controllers

Wow! I had things to do and I ended up playing this for two hours! I am amazed. Utterly perplexed as well. Extremely engaging gameplay! I loved this!
