Lunar Commander, a remake made in the image of the original Lunar Lander launched in 1979 by Atari, has been released on Linux, for free.

Lunar Commander is a game developed by Three Liter Games and it’s already available for Android and iOS. The developer has decided to release the game for Linux, for free.

Besides the official link on the developer’s website, Lunar Commander is also available on Ubuntu Software Center.

Players will have to control a simple lander, in a 2D environment littered with obstacles, with just the help of three thrusters, right, left, and up.

Even if the game seems to be deceptively simple, the craft is affected by Newtonian physics and landing it will provide a continuous challenge.
