You can't move it forward and backward, and also rotate the body of it. You can operate the excavator with using two joystick areas as like a real excavator. Though there are three types to operate a real excavator, This game just has the ISO manipulation pattern. Usually the right and left operation of the left stick is used to let it rotate. However the left stick can do the up and down operation only because this game is on 2D world.
The Unmanned Lunar Expedition Simulator is a small 3D (OpenGL) game in which you control an unmanned moon vehicle. It is a two-player game that may be played either against the computer or against another player on the internet. There are two game modes: a racing game and a death-match game.
The game uses rigid-body-dynamics for control of vehicle movement. It has a particle system based gun, 3D audio, and an online high-score list.
The simulator is built around a pseudo-realistic modeling concept which allows an extremely flat learning curve for the aspiring remote astronauts. Currently the simulator allows for training vehicle handling under extreme conditions as well as mission training by means of a simulated scientific lunar expedition. All this is 'bullshit' of course, but it is still a nice little application worth a download.
