About Those New Reviews..

The recent reviews show the game isn't fairing well long term, and we won't release it into any more bundle packs, because surprise to me, playing it for 25 cents or so generates a lot of negativity compared to the launch - which was mostly positive. Why? It's a little odd.

If anyone wants in a on demo alpha for the new mars game send an email to tech @ awestruck games dot com. And make your case. You'll have a lot more bells and whistles in the new Star Rangers game, and 3 years of new tech.

This little game is meant to be played once and it's fun. It's several years old now, but the voice actors and music is superb and the mini-lesson is okay, but a first attempt at some "serious" learning in a game. I'm going to of course, recommend this, but it's up to you; I suggest watching the first minute of a youtube review (there are a lot), and then do not spoil it.

Also - there's like 23 people playing it right now, so please add a review; we can take it - maybe ask for features - it's okay by us; we haven't stopped simulating Mars in the last 3 years. :)

We invite players to try out this mission and contribute ideas on the forum as we work on the more expansive NASA Starlite game. Where will we explore first? Will bases be underground or on the surface? What will robots have evolved to 20 years from now?
