Starlite: Astronaut Rescue will be released on Monday, January 27th, 2014 for PC and Mac. The regular price will be $2.99 but for the first week we'll have a 40% launch discount! In Starlite: Astronaut Rescue, players complete an imagined near-future Mars mission in which they must construct a habitat, craft tools and use advanced robots. With the help of a virtual crewmate, a mini-adventure soon turns into more than bargained for on the Red Planet. Rather than the run-of-the-mill point and shoot game, Starlite: Astronaut Rescue contains hands-on science inquiry and problem-solving in mathematics, physics and engineering. The application awards an official Mozilla Open Badge to those who successfully complete the mission. The Starlite game series gives players a chance to experience the future of space exploration using real NASA-inspired science and engineering. Players will find the authentic vision of the future to be an awesome experience. Starlite: Astronaut Rescue is the first release in the series leading up to alpha testing of the multiplayer online game Starlite: Astronaut Academy in summer 2014 for which development will be ongoing and include an editor pack for players.
