Description

Earth is constantly sending more and more satellites. You, Jupiter, now has an chance to prevent these artificial satellites from littering your orbit. 

How to play

Aim with the mouse and click to throw you natural satellites at the incoming artificial asteroids. You will need to time them right and line them up to hit your targets, after all they are currently in orbit. Upgrades will fly across the screen to improve the size, speed, quantity, and damage of your current natural satellites. Hit them to gain the upgrades!

Theme -> The Space Race

All the countries on earth are trying to get as many satellites in Jupiter's orbit as they can and are racing to be the first. You are to throw asteroids and put a stop to the race.

Diversifier -> Branching story

The amount of satellites in your orbit will change the news reports broadcasted from Earth. Damaging Earth will also change what is happening, but your current natural satellites will burn up in the atmosphere. Get upgrades to change that!
