Fun little free multiplayer game.

Back story:

NASA has established a moon base which is meant to be expanded for future exploration and all that jazz.

anyhow you are an astronaut who witnesses a meteorite land close to the base. The impact damages several critical components to power production and life support.

your job is to fix these systems as quickly as possible. this consists of replacement of power couplers, hoses, solar panels and numerous other gadgets.

all total it is about 30-40 minutes of gameplay in easy mode... and the replayability is pretty much ZERO because it is only one mission.

but the potential is excellent.

personally i would like to see them create a game like this one where you go from launch, to lunar orbit and landing, establishing the most important systems first and least important systems last and going through a series of missions in the construction of a launch facility for future mars missions etc.

if space is your thing, its a good, fun way to burn down half an hour or more.
