Moon Miner is a retro-styled arcade game reminiscent of the Lunar Lander arcade game from the 1980s. Your mission is to retrieve minerals from various moons around the solar system. It is a physics-based game, where you must navigate your rocket ship based on gravity and thrust to make a safe landing for retrieving minerals. Achieve a successful landing by reducing speed to near zero and keeping the lander upright on designated flat areas. It is available to play on the Adafruit Fruit Jam.

Features

• The game employs physics to maneuver based on gravity. The game takes into account each moon has different gravitational properties.
• A heads-up display shows mission flight data in real-time.
• Complete the mission of collecting gems and your best time to complete the mission is saved. Play again to beat your best time.
• There are several ways you can die. Make sure you land on a horizontal surface at a safe velocity (and watch out for volcanos).
• Use fuel locations when running low on fuel. Some locations can be revisited again for additional fuel.
• Four missions are included.
• Written entirely in CircuitPython for the Adafruit Fruit Jam.
