PicoLander

A try to make a lunar lander game in 560 characters for the TweetTweetJam. Developed for the Pico-8.

Your Pico Lander Module is descending towards the Lunar surface. There are 3 values shown:

• H is the height above the surface.
• Symbol Down is the speed towards the surface. Negative numbers means you're falling.
• F is the remaining fuel.

Your Pico Guidance Computer is marking the landing site with a bright green circle.

Use the Left, Right, Up, Down button to target the bright green circle with the dark green cross.

Use the X button to activate your rocket engine to decelerate your fall. Of course this burns some fuel. If you reach a height of 1, you need a speed > -2, otherwise you crash on the surface.
