TouchTheMoon is a free kids game you can play right here in your browser. The core of it is retro & arcade. Everything runs client-side, so it starts fast even on a modest connection.
About TouchTheMoon
TouchTheMoon is an arcade game set in space. Jump with your astronaut between the Moons to break all records! If you are on mobile devices use the touch on the screen to move your astronaut, otherwise the directional arrows.
How to play TouchTheMoon
Getting started takes about ten seconds. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.

Why it is worth playing
