Free online action games

Action here means precision under pressure rather than shooting things. Both games ask you to put something down gently in a place that does not want to cooperate — a lander on a pad in one-sixth gravity, and an aircraft on a runway with a crosswind pushing you off the centreline. Each is a tiny, original browser game you play instantly.

MOON : MOON

MOON : MOON

Tiny moon lander browser game

One sixth of Earth's gravity, two thrusters, and a long chain of landing pads stretching across the dark. Collect coins for extra thrust and touch down gently — or become part of the regolith.

Crosswind

Crosswind

Tiny flight simulator browser game

Approach and land on a runway with a 5-knot crosswind pushing you off course the whole way down. Keep the wings level, follow the PAPI lights, and don't bounce.

Action games — questions, answered

What action games can I play here?

Two: MOON : MOON, a lunar lander game across eight skies of landing pads, and Crosswind, an airplane game and flight simulator where you land at seven real airports. Both are free and start in one click.

Are these fast-reflex games?

No — they are precision games. Both punish over-correcting far more than slow reactions, because your inputs take a few seconds to show up. Getting good means anticipating rather than reacting.

Which is harder, MOON : MOON or Crosswind?

Crosswind is harder to score well on, because a landing is graded out of 100 across four measures and you can arrive safely but still score badly. MOON : MOON is harder to finish — it is 120 landings across eight skies.
