I like the gameplay, but the game is so frustratingly hard that I gave up before getting to the very end.

Impossibly hard :(

It does have a steep learning curve. But it is playable and not impossible, I promise! My testers were getting 9/7 and trying for speed runs.

I managed to get a 2 before giving up. This reminds me of oldschool arcade games, devilishly hard so you'd keep having to feed them coins.

Very difficult, but I felt so good after getting 7/7 that it made it worth it.

Freaking hard. But once you get used to game's controls it's only hard.

7/7 and still a lukewarm ending :(

Very challenging, even for a lander game! I like the physics of it, especially the way the pods inherit your ship's velocity, very nice.

Stargoat, there's a bug at 7/7. You need to get 8/7, unfortunately. Sorry!

I've uploaded a build with the 7/7 bug fixed. It's under the Web (Bug Fixes) link above.

This is a pretty neat idea, but for a complete softcore gamer like me it's more or less impossible. I landed one pod before I gave up :(
Slightly less sensitive physics would be better I think. Also I found that I only needed to rotate the ship one notch in either direction at any time, and any time I went further than that was a fatal mistake, so perhaps bounding it at those points would help?

Lol crashing was so hilarious

I suck at this. Also HUGE LOL on my first attempt, as the ship just fell at freefall speed straight to the ground, as I didn't know I was playing yet.

Seems interesting but waaay too hard man.
