Terra Lander pays homage to the classic early days of arcade retro gaming. Navigate the player to the landing pad through twenty increasingly difficult levels within the time limit and whilst managing limited fuel resources.

Movement or firing uses up fuel, though levels can be replenished by shooting the fuel dumps. Running out of fuel means you loose control and can't fire. If all fuel dumps are destroyed on any given level the player's fuel tank capacity is doubled for the next. Avoid the moving doors and increasingly fiendish enemies. Find the switches for the doors that block your way.
