A fast-paced retro arcade rescue game inspired by Lunar Rescue and Meteor Mission II.

  • Rescue missions across multiple planets and sectors
  • Hunt achievements and bonus items
  • Pilot survival after crashes with parachute rescue gameplay
  • Three authentic retro visual styles:
    • Sinclair ZX Spectrum
    • LCD Handheld
    • 'Pong' pixel style ( TRS-80 )

How to Play

The mission

Your crew is stranded on the surface of an alien planet. Land safely, pick up each crew member, and return them to the mothership. Rescue everyone to unlock the next sector and eventually the next planet.

Gameplay loop

1. Drop: Release from the mothership when you spot a safe path to the landing platform.

2. Rescue: Land gently, collect your buddy, and grab power-ups whenever you can.

3. Return: Fly back to the mothership, avoid enemies, shoot obstacles, and dock safely.

Crash? You're not done yet!

If your ship is destroyed, the pilot ejects with a parachute. Guide them to the nearest platform for a second chance.

Keep an eye out...

Occasionally, mysterious lost luggage drifts through space. You never know what useful equipment it might contain.
