Lander on Planet Cheese v2016.08.09 (PICO-8 Game)

Lander on Planet Cheese is a PICO-8 game by boomlinde.

You are stuck on planet cheese. You could slice your way out if only you had a slicer. Luckily you have a slicer detector…

Use the slicer detector (X) to pinpoint the location of the slicer. Hold (O) to lock the camera. The up button will turn on your thrusters, while left and right fires your horizontal course correction engines. You need to refuel every now and then. Luckily the cheese of Planet Cheese can be processed and turned into rocket fuel. Land safely on both foot pads at a low velocity to process cheese.

Changes:

* Camera locked on player; no easing. This makes precise navigation easier. This also makes the camera lock mode useless, so it has been removed.
* Collision detection has been improved, and the vertical velocity threshold for safe landing has been increased to 1.5 pixels per frame. The safe landing threshold is now also consistent and you can’t randomly land safely at greater velocities.
* For a safe landing, both foot pads no longer need to be completely on the ground. As long as they both touch, it’s fine, making landing easier on smaller surfaces.
* The player can now thrust with either up or O, depending on which is used first, making it more joypad/digital stick friendly.

Alite v1.5.3 (Android Game)

Alite is a fan port of the classic Elite from the 80s by Philipp Bouillon. Specifically, Alite focuses on the Amiga version.

Command your Cobra space ship in a fantastic voyage of discovery, adventure, and trade, a supreme test of your combat, navigational and entrepreneurial skills. Trade between countless planets, using the proceeds to equip your ship with heat-seeking missiles, beam lasers and other weapons – corporate states can be approached with little risk, but unruly anarchies may be swarming with space pirates. There is a lot of bounty to be made for the daring pilot. Do you have it in you?

Learn how to fly your Cobra in a series of face-to-face lessons from renowned Commander Quelo and profit from his vast experience. Remember: Black market trading can be lucrative but could result in skirmishes with local police and a price on your head! However you make your money, by fair means or foul, you must blast onwards through space annihilating pirate ships and hostile aliens as you strive to earn your reputation as one of the Elite!

Release notes:

* Alite 1.5.3 hides or dims the menus on (most) Android devices (all those running at Android 4.0 or later). Now the buttons are correctly aligned again.
* Some devices (like the HUDL 2) have slight problems with the immersion mode, so if you notice that your buttons are off screen, disable immersion in the Display Options.
