The Story: Saving Earth With a Smile

It’s 2121, and scientists discover BAR-101, an asteroid half the size of the moon, is on a collision course with Earth! The world mostly shrugs. To appease the concerned minority, the government sends "The UWN Superfluous" on a mission to plant a Zero-Point-Energy bomb and obliterate the threat.

Your crew has advanced cloning tech. New crew DNA is available for purchase with gold found on the asteroid. The ship also has a research lab. It barely helps.

Equipped with advanced environmental suits and jet packs, navigate caves, chasms, crevices, crooks, and caverns. You have 999 years; don't procrastinate! Remember, the fate of the world might depend on you.

Environments/Biomes

Your mission isn't what it seems. BAR-101 is teeming with caves and creatures that love EXO suits.

Dark Cave: Battle bats, slimes, and spiders amidst strange fireflies in the first biome.

The Underwater: Deep beneath the cave, you'll find yourself slowed by the water, facing rocket fish, swordfish, methane gas bubbles, and butt-pinching crabs!

Lava Zone: Overheating is a major threat in the zone. Beware fire slimes, fire-spitting spiders, falling rocks, and flame-shooting fissures!
