This game needs a lot more done if they want to charge for it. There is no tutorial or other modes so i got stuck on the third stage untill i saw the trailer on the store page where he was shooting but there is no cursor to show where you mouse is so you have to trial and error till it starts shooting. Developer is absent in forums and its webpage is beyond basic so dont expect much support for this game down the line. Watch the trailer and you will have seen all this game has to offer.

Pro:
I like the game because it's reminiscent of classic arcade 80's games.
The graphics are contemporary and match the gameplay.
Maybe achievements should be added.

Cons (I want to be honest):
The disadvantage is the price of currently € 5.49. I received the game for free. And that's a good thing, because I would not pay the full price for it.
There is little content for the money...

Its like walking through the store and finding a box of Ritz crackers on the shelf. You pick the box up, and look at it. It says Ritz crackers on the top of the box. The box is that same color as a Ritz cracker box. You see Ritz cracker pictures on the ftont of the box. The store is showing videos of people eating Ritz crackers. You purchase the box and get it home. What do you think will be inside?

This is a lunar lander game, It has all of the same lunal lander features. You explode on contact with anything. You need fuel to keep going. Some missions seem inhumanly impossible. You will get angry at times. You may cry.

10/10 in the lunar lander lunacy catagory. Love the start from farthest option. Be sure to use a controller.

What a funny little game! Terra Lander reminds me old school games which i played on Atari 800 XL. I love simple graphics, great music and "Hawking", who is trying to comment player's failures;-). Retro games are not my cup of tea (not all of them), but this one is likeable.

I'm going to put my edit at the top. Okay, I made it through and have now progressed another 7 or 8 levels rapidly so that one level was kind of an anomaly. Also, if you land on the landing pad and the game doesn't end that means your time ran out. This is an incredibly fantastic game that is sure to become one of your favorites. Too bad there aren't more levels.

My original review - This was a great little game until I got to Gauntlet of the Gods which is not very deep in the game but is just about impossible. Then I get to the landing pad in GotG and it doesn't end the level the way it does in every other level. What kind of sadistic game design is that?

My experience with Terra Lander started off pleasantly. I liked the vector graphics and the way the lander handled with the X box controller. The robotic voice offered hilariously cruel comments. It was a little hard to distinguish the enemy bullets from all the other sparkles in the game but the first few levels were so easy that they bordered on boring and I barely remember them. Then I got to Gauntlet of the Gods and there are way too many turrets and tight passageways full of richochet bullets coming from every direction. When you get through areas here you're just memorizing patterns of enemy fire. It feels like luck and memorizing when you get through. You're not really learning anything. Its kind of tedious. Then you get to the end, and this is probably after losing 900 ships and being insulted 3000 times, and you land on the landing pad - nothing happens. It doesn't end the level like it does every other time. I wanted to kill a family with a hammer. (See the top paragraph for an explanation)

This is not retro or a steep learning curve. Its just lazy level design and early access developer sadism and its too bad because Terra Lander has so much potential. (see top paragraph)

If you have fond memories "Moon Lander," I can save you three dollars right now... "Hey, remember how fun Moon Lander was, back in the day?"

There. That moment of brief nostalgic reminiscence is the good part of Terra Lander Remastered and I just gave it to you for free. There's nothing else worthwhile here.

can easily understand those thumbdown reviews, but if you can get it discounted (or you want to gift something nostalgic) you can get a wonderful 15 secs nostalgia jump from this. A good one, in my book.

This title is amazing, It captures the old 8 bit game essence superbly. A great melody: On the Beautiful Blue Danube by Johan Strauss will accompany through the game, you can´t hate that one. Some will remember the 2001: A Space Odyssey movie when playing. The cynical narrator (presumably Stephen Hawking) will make you smile when you crash the Lunar Pod. The game has a good difficulty as you advance. 20 levels are the downside here.

For all of those who will play Terra Lander with a keyboard and mouse, I will give you an advice: when It comes to shoot, just shake a bit your mouse and press left mouse button. I was going crazy the first 10 minutes.

Good replay value If you´re one of those people who just want a simple but fun game to play for an hour tops.

A must have for Retro Gamers. 8/10

Updated 1980's Lunar Lander basically. Good game to pass some time.

Alright ... I played games like this when I was a kid ... so it's old school. Much more polished than games back then though. You need to guide a lunar module through various cave systems, with different gravity settings, which would be hard enough, but you also have alien gun emplacements shooting at you while you are trying to squeeze your module through a gap just a few pixels wider than your ship. It's not easy, and the game throws insult after insult at you while you constantly fail! I made it to level 6 of 20 before calling it a day. I'm not young enough and the precise control needed to guide your ship abandoned me years ago. BTW, shooting is via the mouse. You don't have to start over from level 1 when you die, use the arrow keys to select "Furthest" and you'll start on the highest level you reached. I liked what I saw of the game, frustratingly hard as it is, but just don't have the motor control to play it past level 6.
