The Moon is our Friend
A downloadable game
An arcade game for Playdate.
After a large-scale asteroid mining expedition gone wrong, the Earth is now under a barrage of meteors, and is very scared.
You are the Moon, and must help your best friend by moving around in your orbit and diverting the meteors away from Earth with your gravitational pull.
Originally made in one weekend for PlayJam 7, The Moon is our Friend has been expanded and polished into a somewhat full game featuring:
- 15 missions that increase in difficulty and feature multiple game modes, including a boss fight!
- An Endless mode in which you can try to beat your high scores in a few different categories
- 35 achievements to collect

Great mechanics!
Would tweak the difficulty a bit and maybe show the trajectories of meteors with the dotted line (maybe as an option?)
Hope it will come to Catalogue at some point with online leaderboards
Showing trajectories would be cool! Maybe as a powerup, or a tutorial, or easy mode option 🤔
And I'm happy to say it's coming to Catalogue this Fall! Adding online scoreboards is at the top of my list for that release :)
It was already one of my favorite games from the jam, but with this update it’s catalog-level quality and content!! But I still suck at it 😄
