demolitionlander2Did you ever play Lunar Lander as a kid and think to yourself, “Hey, why can’t I blow everything up?”  Of course you didn’t, that game came out in a different time, when games were both simpler and more difficult.  But just because you didn’t dream of explosions shattering the silence of space doesn’t mean that the team at ApexTech didn’t.  They’ve gone so far as to create a new lander style game with similar mechanics, but far more destructions; meet Demolition Lander.

As you can probably tell, in Demolition Lander you take control of a lander vehicle tasked with exploring mysteriously beautiful alien worlds and blowing the crap out their destructable terrain using a variety of bombs.  But don’t worry, it’s not all just wanton destruction, you’ll also be able gather resources for power-ups and upgrades.  ApexTech promises the game will feature a ton of levels, landers, upgrades, and environmental hazards to keep things interesting, with plans for continued enhancements and additions.

Head over to the Demolition Lander Kickstarter page for some gameplay footage, screenshots, and additional game info.  If you like what you see you can put some cash towards the $20,000 goal the team set, just do it before March 19th.
