Mothership Down launches 60 lunar physics puzzles

Mothership Down launched on Steam on August 17, 2026. The space puzzler strands a mothership on a moon and asks players to recover missing stars with programmable landers.

Mothership Down: confirmed details

Sixty physics-based stages require launch instructions that guide craft through twisting caves. Ancient alien machinery changes possible solutions, boosters add velocity and shields allow controlled bounces until their limits are exceeded. Collected stars restore the navigation needed to escape. The official store listing credits Hogwalker Games as developer and publisher.

What changed for players

Giving instructions before motion makes each crash useful evidence for the next plan. Boosters and shields turn speed into both a tool and a hazard, while the shared escape objective links sixty self-contained puzzles into one recovery effort.

Store availability and supported languages can vary by region, while pricing, online availability and later updates should be checked on the live store page.

This report separates features released on the stated date from later patches and community expectations. Balance values and platform support can change, but the documented release history remains the same.
