Ball Maze · 1977
Moon Lander
Set her down gently in the crater
A lunar crevasse, one bearing and a landing crater that is never quite where you want it.
Roll the bearing down a lunar crevasse and settle it into the landing crater without dropping into a moon pit.
About Moon Lander
Moon Lander plays the ball maze slowly. You roll down through the crevasse looking for the crater, and the moon pits along the way punish anybody in a hurry. Settling the bearing gently is the whole game.
How to play Moon Lander
Roll the bearing through each chamber and reach the landing crater, collecting the gems on the way.
Controls
- · Tilt your phone to steer the bearing (allow motion access when asked).
- · Drag on the screen to tilt instead if motion is unavailable.
- · Tap Re-level to recentre the tilt.
Rules & scoring
- · Reaching the goal clears the chamber and moves you on.
- · Dropping into a hole costs one bearing — lose them all and the run ends.
- · Gems add bonus points, and your clear time is recorded.
Tips
- · The floor here is slippery — tilt gently and brake early.
Retro inspiration
Space fever ran through pocket games at the end of the sixties space race, and lunar landings were the favourite theme of the lot.
