A downloadable game for Windows

Fly the lander through the caves to land on the target pad before your fuel runs out. Avoid hazards such as falling rocks, gas jets, and lava. Land too hard and you'll damage your lander, stranding it in the cave. Points are awarded each mission based on the amount of fuel remaining in your lander. Earn awards for each mission based on points and precision landing. Medals are awarded for completing challenges throughout the game.
