: You start by clicking a manual discharge button to generate power, which you then use to launch potato-based probes and satellites. Yes, the entire game is themed around potatoes and "pseudo-scientific" nonsense.
: Originally released as a web prototype, this version is essentially a "lite" or demo version. It contains the core mechanics and the beginning of the story. You can play it for free in most web browsers.
: The game features a surprisingly witty AI and a story that leans heavily into sci-fi tropes, black holes, and cosmic mysteries.
