Landers.

Deployed into the forsaken environments of cities and planets on the brink of total annihilation. Rescuers of the stranded, beacons of hope to the lost!

Heroes.

You are not a Lander. But this is a bootleg copy of their training program, and you bet your last dollar it'll get you the training you need to join their elite ranks!

Programmed in Fennel Lisp using the LÖVE game engine for the Spring Lisp Game Jam 2024. Cover art provided by a friend who wises to remain anonymous.

Instructions

Fly your L4-N-DER Ship to land on the platforms and activate them. Once activated, they will change color. When all platforms have been activated, return to your spawn platform to proceed to the next level. Beware! Flying into the platform towers or the ground will damage your ship! Too much damage, and you will have to start over.

Controls

Left / Right Arrow Keys will maneuver your ship left and right.
Up Arrow Key will provide thrust, lifting your ship into the air!
Down Arrow Key will activate the autonomous landing mode for a controlled descent!

To begin play, press D to deploy. You'll also use D to redeploy if you win or die, and to move to the next level.

While playing, you can press P to pause, and from there P to un-pause, or Q to quit.

When you've finished your training, press Q from the pause screen, the victory screen, the game-over screen, and the main screen to quit.

All inputs are case-insensitive. When possible, available key-press options are shown on-screen.
