About the Game

You will learn that the Earth sucks!

Clear satellites and space junk from orbit by collecting, de-orbiting or tossing them into space.. This is a game about gravity and orbital dynamics that aims for casual, intuitive control rather than detailed physics.

Game Features

  • Simulated Orbits - Satellites move in orbits and the challenge is to intercept them with your spacecraft and send them where they need to go.
  • Missions - A selection of mission types. Get paid for successful completion.
  • Ship Upgrades - Use your funds to upgrade your spaceship. Balance your needs against your spaceship's mass.

The Team

This is a game made by a small, enthusiastic team of novice developers. Our aim was to make a game about orbital dynamics, but keeping the gameplay casual and accessible. The gameplay uses simple controls, relying on orbital dynamics to provide the challenge.
