About the Game

As you explore the dusty craters of the Moon and the cascading landscapes on Mars, you will collect vital data pertaining to evidence of microbial life, obtain soil and rock samples, and map out the landscape. As you gain knowledge with successful missions, your rover upgrades to traverse longer distances and perform better after research and upgrades.

The more you explore planets the more Experience Points will be given to the player, to unlock new planets and abilities. Avoid damaging/flipping your rover, doing so can cause connection loss to the satellite and the expedition will be unsuccessful.
