Our take on Astronaut: The Moon Eclipse
Planetary gravity is the defining constraint: each rocket's route can shift as celestial bodies pull it off course.
What is Astronaut: The Moon Eclipse?
Astronaut: The Moon Eclipse is a space-based tower defense game about protecting Earth from large asteroids and other objects.
The player remains on a stationary spaceship while launching rockets to break incoming threats apart. Planetary gravity affects each rocket's trajectory, requiring attention to how celestial bodies pull the projectiles off course. Later, darkness changes the situation: the player must determine where comets are approaching from. A flashlight reveals some of them, but its battery must be conserved. The game combines stationary defense, rocket targeting, gravity-based projectile paths, and limited visibility in a short space setting.
