*Volume pricing also applies
Visitors protect the Earth from a never-ending onslaught of asteroids. They must figure out which deflection techniques work best against each type of asteroid and in each type of situation.
Kinetic Impactor is great against heavy and rigid targets.
Ablative Laser is great against fragile and light targets.
Solar Sail is particularly effective if deployed early.
Swarm Bots are useful for slowing huge asteroid waves.
Nuclear Bomb can be disastrous in causing asteroid fractures and should only be used as a last resort.
User Interaction
Up to two visitors can play simultaneously by standing on each side of the console. Utilizing the Kinect, visitors wave their outside arm to aim and use their inside arm to press their set of five buttons. Each of the buttons activates one of the five different asteroid deflection methods:
Kinetic Impactor
Ablative Laser
Swarm Bots
Solar Sail
Nuclear Bomb
