    Description

    Staff note: An astro-nomically challenging game with fun crank controls and cute visuals! Truly a challenge that will have you positively over the moon. After a large-scale asteroid mining expedition gone wrong, the Earth is under a barrage of meteors, and is very scared. You are the Moon, and must help your best friend the Earth by diverting meteors away with your gravitational pull! There are multiple ways to play this arcade-style game, all featuring crank-based action and satisfying 50fps planetary physics: Mission/Story mode: Progress through 15 missions, each one taking you closer to defeating the source of all the meteors! 5 mission types: Divert, Survive, Colonize, Juggling, and Boss. 3 difficulty levels: Optionally earn badges for completing missions on Hard or One Heart (die in one hit) difficulty. 5 mission types: Divert, Survive, Colonize, Juggling, and Boss. 3 difficulty levels: Optionally earn badges for completing missions on Hard or One Heart (die in one hit) difficulty. Endless mode: See how long you can survive as more and more meteors spawn, and try to get on the global leaderboards! Zen mode: A sandbox where you can adjust the gravity, fling meteors around and enjoy the space physics. 40 achievements to collect!

    Accessibility

    This game primarily uses the crank, and occasionally the B button (or the A button if you prefer). It requires a fair amount of precision with the crank.
