MOONDUST月壤寻踪
Drive a rover and find out why a far-side station went silent.

Two hundred and fourteen days ago the far-side outpost Beacon-9 sent four seconds of empty carrier and stopped. You drive a six-wheel survey rover on a crater floor at 73° north: handle one-sixth gravity, sweep for radar returns, drill cores with the arm and plant relays on high ground — piecing together what lies under the basin. Terrain, rocks, stars and music are all generated live in the browser.

Highlights

Real lunar driving

One-sixth gravity is one-sixth the grip. Wheels leave ruts, dig in and slip, steep slopes roll you over, and the battery charges from the solar array — but not in shadow.

Radar, drill and samples

Sweep 78 m for subsurface returns, park on the marker and aim the two-link arm to drill. Nine sample types, from regolith cores to a strange conducting film; rare ones unlock new codex entries.

A complete story

Five missions and twelve codex entries — station logs, a crew roster, an unsent memo — unsealed as you survey, until you send the truth home. Free survey opens up the whole basin afterwards.

Choose your realism

Switch between Arcade and LRV driving, add the 2.6-second Earth–Moon signal delay, set quality, HUD size and camera behavior, and save frames from photo mode.

Controls

Phones and tablets: twin sticks to drive and look, with on-screen buttons for scan, arm, drill, relay, lamps and brake.

FAQ

Is progress saved?

Yes. The game autosaves to this browser every 20 seconds; pick Resume Survey from the menu next time.

The rover keeps slipping.

Grip is low on the Moon: ease off, then build speed slowly. Reverse or steer out of a rut, and press X to right the chassis.

I'm running out of power.

Drive into sunlight and deploy the solar array (T), or return to the sled to recharge and offload samples.
