A lone astronaut has crashed to the surface of Mars! Help them escape by crafting weapons and shelter, and spending time to repair their spaceship!

But -- oh no! It seems there are some aliens looking to make all that much harder for you. Defeat them to prevent damage to your property and person. Doing so will net you the resources you need to progress and escape! It seems that those aliens, in seeking to be your downfall, will actually be your saving grace.

("Since when are there aliens on Mars?!" -- you, the Astronaut)

Manage more nebulous resources like personal energy and time! If you're tired, rest, but only if you're sure your base will be fine without you!

The game is finished! Thank you, everyone, for your patience! Please let me know what you think of the game in the comments. This is the first game I've ever made, so I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism!

Advance, Repair, Survive!


This game's mechanics are nearly entirely based on "Balloon in a Wasteland," a Flash game created by jmtb02 and originally hosted by Armor Games. It's still available in multiple places, but you'll need a way to play Flash games to experience it. I really recommend it!

Awesome game! It was really fun and satisfying, and I especially liked the time management part of it. I also thought the UI was really unique and cool. Good work!

Thanks so much, that means a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
