Moon Rover Run

Moon Rover Run is a browser-based 2D hill-climb driving game with a neon lunar theme. It is built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript using the Canvas API, so it runs without any build step, package install, or external game engine.

This project is an original side-scrolling hill-driving game with its own rover theme, UI styling, terrain generation, and gameplay tuning.

Drive a lunar rover across uneven glowing terrain, collect energy crystals, grab fuel canisters, and keep the rover balanced as long as possible.

The run ends when:

• the pilot canopy hits the ground
• the rover runs out of fuel and stalls

• original lunar sci-fi theme
• procedural terrain generation for endless runs
• physics-style axle and wheel simulation
• fuel system with pickups
• crystal collection and distance tracking
• best-distance persistence with localStorage
• keyboard controls for desktop
• touch controls for mobile
• no dependencies and no build tools required

• W or Arrow Up: accelerate
• S or Arrow Down: brake or reverse
• A or Arrow Left: tilt left
• D or Arrow Right: tilt right
• Space: restart after game over

Use the on-screen touch buttons for left tilt, brake, drive, and right tilt.

• HTML5
• CSS3
• Vanilla JavaScript
• Canvas 2D API
