Pegasus Lander

Take command of the Pegasus lunar lander and guide it safely across a series of increasingly dangerous missions.

Manage your descent rate, horizontal speed, angle, and limited fuel as you search for the landing zone. Later missions introduce difficult terrain, deep craters, narrow approaches, hostile Soviet rovers, and contested landing sites.

Landing safely is only the beginning—your performance is graded based on touchdown speed, angle, accuracy, and remaining fuel. Hard landings may damage the spacecraft, while crashes generate a report explaining what went wrong.

Features include:

• Physics-based lunar landing controls
• Eight handcrafted missions
• Landing grades and campaign scoring
• Limited attempts
• Destructible lander components
• Enemy rovers and contested landing zones
• Detailed landing and crash reports
• Keyboard and controller support
• Resolution, windowed, and fullscreen options

Pegasus Lander is currently an early playtest build. Feedback about controls, difficulty, bugs, level design, and overall gameplay is welcome.
