Story

After a large-scale asteroid mining expedition gone wrong, the Earth is now under a barrage of asteroids, and is very scared.

Desperate to help its best friend, the Moon wakes up from its deep slumber and springs into action to protect the Earth.

How to play

Use the crank to control the Moon and pull incoming asteroids away from the Earth. Get +1 point per asteroid averted, and +5 points for getting two asteroids to collide with each other!

Try to grab any supplies the Earth sends your way - they may contain extra health or various powerups.

If you get 100 points, you get a little gold star on the title screen. Good luck!
