Mothership Down
Steam
The stars have vanished from the sky. Your mothership is stranded on a distant moon with no way to navigate home. Use your fleet of moon landers to explore 50 physics based puzzles, each with a unique set of challenges - and its own stars to recover.

Give launch instructions to your landers to help them navigate the deadly, twisting caves beneath the surface. Interact with ancient machinery left by an unknown alien race, and use it to design perfect solutions for levels. Send your ships flying at maximum velocity with strings of booster instructions.

Use your lander's shields to bounce around the environment - but be careful not to push them beyond their limit. Complete enough stages, collect enough stars, and you might just be able to escape this desolate moon.
