The Moon Challenge Awaits In Lunar Flight!
If you enjoy this article please like it at the top of the website and share it on Facebook and Twitter, I’d greatly appreciate it! And leave a comment if you’re so inclined. :)
Lunar Flight is a Moon simulator that updates the gameplay of the classic arcade title “Lunar Lander” for the year 2012. However it extends far beyond that game by offering a fictional and indepth Lunar Module Simulator and challenges the player with all manner of Moon missions to complete. These include Transporting Cargo, Acquiring Data at Survey locations and locating Lost Cargo. Finishing the game’s varied missions earns experience points and money used to Refuel, Repair and Upgrade the Lunar Module in order to better equip it for future missions.
An online leaderboard system is in place as well, and it allows you to take on Time Trial challenges to try and compete to be the best player in the world. A globule Pilots Leaderboard, ranking your experience in the game, is also on offer; along with various in-game Achievements to unlock and earn.
Lunar Flight offers a “truly unique and challenging flight simulation experience that will give you many hours of immersive, addictive & rewarding gameplay.”

One of the coolest and greatest aspects of this Indie Game is in it’s unique asthetic. The game features immersive atmospheric sounds, music and graphics that create an engaging experience where players will learn to appreciate the Moon and it’s realistic physics that challenge the player. The Lunar Module even features proper “Newtonian physics behavior” that creates a genuinely authentic low-gravity, dynamic space-based experience. And while the game is a sim, the developers promise it is accessible and, most of all, fun; even for those who are not huge simulation fans. The game even supports Xbox 360 Controller play on Windows. And it can further be configured with most computer controllers.
Key Features of Lunar Flight include:
* Authentic Newtonian Space Physics.
* Addictive Challenging Flight Simulation.
* Earn Money and Experience from Transport, Survey & Lost Cargo Recovery Missions.
* Random Mission Generation.
* Purchase Upgrades and Action Items for the Lunar Module.
* Online Time Trial & Pilot Leaderboards.
* Achievements.
* Spectacular Graphics and FX.
* Amazing Immersive Soundscape.
* Quad View Display.

Last but not least, the developer Sean ‘sh0v0r’ Edwards for “Shovsoft” is hoping to get the game published on Steam sooner rather than later. It was submitted last month in January but has yet to be released, so please request it over at the Lunar Flight Steam Request Thread and show your support!
