MARSAT
In 2159, a solar flare hit the surface of Mars, destroying all satellite communication between the handful of colonies on the terraformed surface. As the ORFS UN initiative, you are tasked with reestablishing communication and building a new satellite network for a better future. The colonies of Mars depend on you. Godspeed.
GAMEPLAY
Launch satellites and scan sites from Low Mars Orbit to reveal the surface of the planet. Earn funds with mining surveys, satellite imagery and communication relays to boost satellites into higher orbits. Restore communication with all colonies of Mars.
Sites
Craters: Scan craters using a satellite with a Mineral Scanner [MSE] from Low Mars Orbit or Medium Mars Orbit to periodically earn research funds.
Abandoned Sites: Photograph from Low Mars Orbit using a camera [CAM] to document the site and earn funds.
Colonies: Colonies need to be connected to the ORFS Home Base using satellite relays. Make sure that the satellites have the [COM] upgrade and line of sight of each other and the home base. A geostationary orbit can help establishing a reliable network.

Took a moment to understand how some things worked, but was pretty fun and definitely an intertesting concept :D
Yet another brilliant concept from ToSMaster. I very much enjoyed this game and the overall concept. I also enjoyed the neat little details like giving more information about the craters and the abandoned bases that really helped the game feel more immersive. I'd love to see this concept expanded on, but if not, it does a good job as a standalone fun 10–15 minute game
Thank you so much for the kind comment!!! ♥️ Glad to hear you liked our game!
But this is also a team effort. I have to give credit to the others. I would not have been able to do this alone. :)
