Around the Moon

About

Around the Moon casts you as an astronaut stranded on the lunar surface after a comet storm scatters crystal-filled modules across the terrain. You control both a rugged rover and a nimble moon lander to collect these crystals, which grant the power to alter comet paths and avoid deadly black holes. The game blends top-down exploration with side-scrolling action as you navigate hazards and uncover secrets left behind by the storm. Up to two players can team up in co-op mode to share the workload and split-screen the chaos. Built as a fan-made modification of an open-source project, this indie title leans into its arcade roots with fast-paced mechanics and retro visuals. The inclusion of achievements that unlock hidden content adds replay value without overwhelming the core experience. While community feedback highlights its charm and simplicity, the game’s modest scope and straightforward design make it a quick but satisfying diversion for casual players. Available on PC and Android, it offers a lightweight lunar adventure with a focus on cooperative fun.
