Overview
Description

In Moonbase Alpha you play as an astronaut tasked with saving a lunar outpost after a meteor strike cripples its life‑support systems. Using solar energy, regolith processing and a suite of robotic tools, you must locate, repair, and replace critical equipment before the colony runs out of oxygen. The game emphasizes teamwork, resource allocation and quick decision‑making, offering both single‑player challenges and cooperative multiplayer modes where teams compete for the fastest restoration times on global leaderboards.

Rover Rescue puts you behind three ships on a frantic dash through ten planets, where thousands of people are stranded and meteors rain down. Your mission is to rescue as many as possible and loot valuable salvage before time runs out. A home‑made indie title that blends action, strategy and sci‑fi flair, offering a single‑player experience that challenges your planning and reflexes across a sprawling solar system.
