Description
Mars Lander Simulator. You are trying to land payloads onto Mars so that colony living on the planet can get resources so they may thrive.
How to Play
Goal: Land 5 payloads onto surface of Mars at certain locations. The location is indicated by a pointing arrow on the surface of Mars. The payload must be landing at a velocity of 12 or less in order for it to land safely. If the velocity is any higher, the payload will explode. Get as close to each landing point as possible to get the highest score. After each launch, you can either retry to landing to get close or you may skip to next one if you crashed or satisfied with your landing. Later launches have a wind element that pushes payload in a certain direction too, so use your thrusters wisely.

Controls are good, but affordances need improvement. For example, shape and markings on lander should give clear indication of where the front is. Also, a ground target indicator showing where you will land on your current trajectory. The wind element is a neat idea, but it seems like there ought to be an instrument informing the player of the strength. Apparently infinite fuel is fine for "learning mode" or "easy" difficulty setting, but a better simulation would include fuel limits (and saving fuel would contribute to a scoring bonus.)
