How it feels

A chaotic, gravity-defying arcade experience where you pilot a wobbly, self-built craft through tight time trials, balancing speed and control with a janky, unpredictable feel.

What players say

Players describe it as a 3D Lunar Lander with Pilotwings-like gameplay, focused on landing and speed. It offers many levels and a leaderboard, though some find the camera problematic in tight spaces and others report motion sickness in VR.
