PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Slingshot Psyche is a web-based game designed and developed to build excitement and awareness for the NASA Psyche mission which launches this upcoming October. Our game is a launch game where players slingshot Psyche into the atmosphere and out into orbit, where along the way they collect power-ups, avoid obstacles, and earn upgrades. While playing, players can learn about the Psyche spacecraft and Psyche comet and be excited for the upcoming launch.
