Outwit gravity, race the clock, explore new worlds.
Crashed lander is a gravity-based arcade game inspired by classics like Lunar Lander and Space Taxi. You've built a janky craft out of propane tanks and spare parts. Pilot it from pad to pad trying to beat your best time – then flirt with that fine line between speed and control.
If you’re brave enough to try Hard Mode you’ll be flopping around like a QWOPy, low gravity turtle. With a little practice you’ll be zippin' around doin' barrel rolls. You’ll see sites from the cutting edge of fractal mathematics – bizarre, organic shapes, arcane archaeological digs, and all manner of WTFderful alien vistas. Each level is a hand-crafted environment that encourages the player to explore - and goof around! You can also pilot your lander in virtual reality with your Rift, Vive, or other SteamVR compatible headset.
Version 3.1 is available now with better performance, improved VR support, new options menu, new tutorial, and a first person camera mode.
Crashed Lander was part of the first wave of VR games on Steam. Original released for the Oculus Rift DK1, and updated eleventy-hundred times as VR grew and headsets advanced. This is a 3rd person VR view with lots of camera motion, it might make some people uncomfortable. There is no support for motion controls, a gamepad or keyboard/mouse is required.
