Overview

About this game

Welcome to Mars, recruit!

As the newest member of the Terran SpaceForce – Mars Division, you’ve been selected for humanity’s most important mission: terraforming Mars using nuclear weapons. It’s safe. It’s efficient. It’s totally HR-approved (probably).

In this darkly satirical sci-fi simulation, your job is to push big glowing buttons, listen to questionable voice messages from your space-mom, and carry out increasingly absurd orders from your corporate commanders — all while navigating exploding volcanoes, malfunctioning AI assistants, and dangerously adorable alien livestock.

But not everything adds up…
Will you follow the mission to the end? Or start thinking for yourself?

🎮 Key Features

  • 🔴 Press to Comply: One-button gameplay that evolves into multi-system chaos.

  • ☢️ Terraform Through Fire: Nuke the surface to make Mars habitable (surely there’s a better way?).

  • 📓 Hitchhiker’s Guide to Terraforming Mars: Discover a 10-step illustrated guidebook filled with bad science and worse advice.

  • 🧾 HR-Approved Satire: Complete daily tasks, ignore red flags, and try not to anger the HR cactus.

  • 🎧 Original Soundtrack: Featuring "Obey Less. Nuke Responsibly." and the infamous SPACEFORCE HR PSAs.

  • 🧠 Obedience is Optional: The real mission might be hidden beneath the orders.

    Note: I made this for a Game Jam for Based Games and just enjoyed it so much I wanted to publish it. I know it's a short story but it has a few endings and I hope you enjoy just hanging out in the game and chilling to some music above Mars.
