“Gravity and inertia are important tools and potential threats, as there’s a basic Newtonian physics system, making navigation tricky and rewarding.”

About This Game

RASHLANDER is a lunar lander roguelike that feels like spinning across an icy road and nailing a perfect parallel park.

Combining the of Arcade Classics like Asteroids and Lunar Lander with design from games like Downwell and Spelunky, RASHLANDER merges the simplicity of the arcade with the magic of a modern roguelike.



The procedurally generated levels encourage players to build ability instead of memorizing patterns, creating real challenge and truly triumphant wins. Discover a dense network of game-changing upgrade systems and life-giving fuel stations—all while attempting to achieve the highest score in this skill-based, physics-stuffed tribute to the golden era of arcades.



Skillfully slingshot around levels—dodging interstellar debris, scraping past gravity-heavy asteroids, and avoiding GovCorp drones—to successfully crash-land onto the goal-marked warp pads. You’ll want to land your ship feet-first, though; unless you’re a fan of incinerating your entire crew in super-explodey collisions.
