About Lander
Lander is an Android port of the 1990 game by the same name for Windows 3.1.
It is similar to the classic Lunar Lander game that everyone knows. One difference that sets Lander apart from the rest is that it uses side thrusters to change horizontal velocity and doesn't rotate (though v1.1.0 added that option). In my opinion, the style is easier to learn and more appealing than most Lunar Lander games. It can even be a bit addictive. With each round lasting just a few seconds, you don't need to decide if you have enough time to play it.
Features:
-Randomized terrain
-Touchscreen controls with custom scale and opacity
-Customizable keys (physical keyboard/D-Pad)
-Adjustable gravity, fuel, and thrust
-Improvements can be toggled (mainly for nostalgia)
-Gameplay modifications (unlocked for $1)
PERMISSIONS:
Market billing service - Used to unlock gameplay modifications with in-app purchase.
Tested in emulators to work great on Android 1.5+ as well as QVGA (tiny) to WXGA (tablet) screens! Also tested extensively on Motorola Droid, T-Mobile G1, and Logitech Revue.
For this port, permission and v1.3 source code has been provided by the original developer, George Moromisato (neurohack.com).
Please rate/comment! Just keep in mind that this is a near exact port of a classic game with some tweaks and modifications. That said, I ask that you don't rate negatively just because you don't like the old style.
PROBLEMS:

Started great but controls too small and any multi touch of buttons stops control! Please fix so u can actually play it and all will be happy!

This is exactly what it says it is. It's a copy of the Windows 3.1 game, and a good one. The buttons sometimes don't respond and you have to restart it once in a while, but no floppy drive required!

The controls are poorly executed and bunched up in one corner of the screen so it makes it difficult to s.ee the rocket.

awesome, closest thing to the old arcade game Lunar Lander I've found on a phone, for those who say the controls suck, you never played the real game so stfu, this game is quality, also, the controls of the actual Lunar Lander were like this, just down, left, and right thrust, and it was full throttle or nothing, just like these buttons act, so quit calling the controls garbage when it is you who are rubbish.

Bad controls. No way to always restart if you crash and don't push OK, New, or Restart.

Keys are barely responsive, rules not clearly stated, thruster buttons not explained, really too crappy for the space it occupies.

You really have to rate this game differently than you would for others. And that's by judging how accurate the port is when compared to its source material, the Windows 3.1 game. It's just like I remember it being, thanks to having the source code, complete with the comments after landing/crashing. It may be easier to use a PC keyboard for this game, but the touch screen controls work well enough to enjoy the experience. I can't rate this any lower, because it's as good as it gets. Great work!

The gravity m/ps, rate of decent, gimbal controls etc. are not correct or accurate. However it could be fun if you forget some basic physics.

Not sure why people don't like it. This is a fun little game, especially when using a physical keyboard (Actually makes it a lot easier). I definitely recommend this game for everyone who enjoyed the good old days with this game ;)

This is as true to the source material as a phone version should be and the updated look is great. Love all the options added in as well. Runs great and is a lot of fun! Overall, great game!
