Cosmic Cleaner Pre-Alpha
A downloadable game for Windows
Cosmic Cleaner is a game about cleaning up trash that is floating around in space. The main character is an astronaut tasked with vacuuming up that trash. Some of the trash includes a dead satellite, scrap metal, a broken solar panel, and a bag of trash, along with some other items. This game was inspired by seeing the impact of debris floating around in space. After doing some research into the topic, it was discovered that there is something called "Kessler syndrome", that if there was too much trash in orbit they could collide, creating more trash in the process, to a point where Earth's orbit becomes unusable. Debris and dead satellites litter Earth's orbit, causing satellites and launches to perform dangerous maneuvers to prevent collision. There have been some novel solutions to try and remove some of the dead satellites from orbit, one of which is firing a large net and dragging it back down. This works, but can be expensive and the nets can only take what won't slip through the gaps, leaving smaller pieces behind. The target audience for this game is anyone who enjoys causal exploration games with survival and arcade aspects. ESRB: Everyone 10+ Cosmic Cleaner is intended to raise awareness of the growing amount of trash floating around in Earth's orbit
