Gravity is weaker here.
The shuttle floats, then bounces.
Craters swallow it whole.

Badminton, off-world: six missions to low-gravity worlds, each with a station champion waiting under the dome.

WHO IS IT FOR?
• Space fans curious to see a rally at 1.62 m/s² on the Moon or 3.71 on Mars.
• Badminton players after a twist on familiar shots, because a shuttle that bounces once changes every rally.
• Tacticians who like a target. The craters turn every drop into a decision.
• Short-session players: missions are first to 7, win by two.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND
Six missions, six worlds. Tranquility Base on the Moon, Jezero Dome on Mars, the Ice Shelf Station on Europa, Kraken Outpost on Titan, the Galileo Ring on Ganymede and Loki Caldera on Io. Each world sets its own gravity, how thick the dome air is, how bouncy the floor is and where the craters lie. Win a mission to unlock the next.

One bounce of grace. A shuttle landing in the court bounces once. Reach it before the second touch and the rally lives on; the BOUNCE lamp on the console shows it is still in play.

Crater shots. A shuttle that lands in a crater is dead, with no bounce at all. The Crater key aims for an open crater on the far side for a clean point, and the landing marker turns red when the shuttle is heading into one.

Loping strides. In low gravity you are slower on your feet, so start moving early. Drag across the floor and your astronaut heads for your finger.

Champions who tire. Cmdr. Vega, Dr. Okafor, Lt. Sora, Capt. Duarte, Flt. Mira and Adm. Kerr start sharp, but long rallies wear them down.

Mission control. The Briefing console shows the next world's data and a LAUNCH button under a flip-up safety cover. Telemetry charts the gravity of every world beside your winning margin, and the Medals case holds twelve enamel awards, from Liftoff to Ace of Space.

Suit Lab. Moon rocks earned on missions buy suits such as Shuttle Orange, Deep Space Navy and Gold Foil, plus comet trails like Aurora and Supernova. There are no in-app purchases, adverts or accounts, and the whole programme plays offline on phones and tablets.

Mission control posts no daily schedule, so write your own flight plan. One mission today, perhaps a crater-shot session on Europa; tomorrow, a rematch on Mars for that third star. Each launch takes only a few minutes, your medals and moon rocks stay on board, and the countdown will be waiting when you come back tomorrow.
