Project Concept and Overview

Planetary Lander is a reimagining of Atari's 1979 Lunar Lander. The original Lunar Lander's core gameplay loop was our target. We wanted to focus on nailing the lander's control and providing the careful gameplay the original one cherished. Using destructible parts, I was able to provide tactile feedback on collision damage. My level design was informed by the navigation of different kinds of terrain; levels include but aren't limited to asteroid hopping, a timed race through a gorge, and a ball & chain boss fight against a shielded tower. Easily a short, fun experience.
