BRIEF

The client requested a game that would allow users to learn about the issues linked to debris in space.

APPROACH

I wanted the user to understand that debris in space is currently a danger for working satellites and other spacecrafts. Like real-life, the goal of the game is to drag debris into Earth’s atmosphere to destroy them: saving the satellite. The players’ finger becomes one of the cleaning solutions. My visual inspiration was pulled from 8-bit arcade games like space invaders and street fighters.

RESULTS

A success in the gallery as well as work! An on-going scoreboard is kept for those who wish to excel at cleaning space debris.
