Is Only One Burn worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Lunar Lander fans who want short spacecraft landing challenges
- Players who enjoy refining timing across multiple levels
- Score chasers who want to compete for high landing rankings
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want multiple ways to brake or correct a landing may hit a wall when the single burn has been used.
- Players seeking a broad range of gameplay systems may find the repeated focus on timing one landing maneuver limiting.
- Players looking for survival crafting or shelter building will not find those systems here.
Our take on Only One Burn
The main sticking point is the one-burn rule: once the engine burn is spent, there is no other way to slow the craft. Players who want repeated mid-flight corrections may bounce off as soon as a landing starts to go wrong.
What is Only One Burn?
Only One Burn is a landing game inspired by Lunar Lander.
Each attempt starts with emergency fuel and a craft that must reach a landing pad without crashing. There is only one burn available to slow the craft, so timing it is central to each landing. The game has multiple levels across four worlds, with scores to improve and rankings to pursue. Version 1. 5 adds two worlds and full controller support, alongside other upgrades. The vendor describes the controls as simple and the gameplay as rapid.
