About:

A LittleJS Arcade entry: burn fuel to slow your descent and line up over a shrinking landing pad before you run dry. Confirmed via real touch dispatch on a phone profile: the left analog stick rotates the ship (verified via the TILT readout responding), the right thrust button ignites a particle flame and cuts the free-fall rate from ~7-8 altitude units/second to under 0.3, and a full flight -- descent, near-miss, crash -- correctly triggered the GAME OVER screen with score, level, and a persisted best. The shipped file was missing its viewport meta tag (present in other templates in the same repo but not this one), which pushed the whole layout, including the on-screen joystick, off a real phone's reachable width; fixed before testing by adding the standard width=device-width tag.
