How it feels

A slow, methodical, and educational repair game set on Mars, focused on careful disassembly and maintenance of detailed rover components.

What players say

Players appreciate the detailed rover models but many find the loop of unscrewing, cleaning and printing parts tedious. The game is a simplified car mechanic simulator reskinned for Mars, with slow animations and no automation. Fans of Occupy Mars or rover engineering will enjoy it, but others criticize the clunky UX and shallow gameplay.
