School projects...
Look, im going to be frank. People go to newgrounds to be entertained, not to be substitute teachers and grade peoples school projects (unless they are entertaining). This game isn't very original. Moonlander TM has been used in atleast 10 000 different variations already. The "Oh, Im an American, gee wiz, I must be some kind of messiah to be born in such a free and fantastic country" song in the end is also... Bleh, why include it? Why not any other less political song? Why not a song that fits to the space theme? I mean, if I were to make, say, a shooter, playing the Swedish Anthem whenever I killedsomeone would make no sense and just be annoying. People would also start asking questions as to who the enemies really are if the swedish anthem is played upon their death. Don't mix politics and games unless you have a good reason or alot of thought as to why make it political.
And speaking of the space theme, the landscape was too stale and generic to ever be found in a natural environment. Try adding shadows, some rocks, and maybe a landig site /space station if you have to make it a Moonlander(C).
Some good must be said though, the controls were really OK for a moonlander, but that is not enough. Back to the drawingboard and resubmit it when you have a game with a bit more thought to it than "I have to make a flash application to get my grades in elementary school."
