Entering the International Space Station (ISS) it was a game for us, or rather a video game!
We let ourselves be carried away in space and we have achieved the official video game of ESA (European Space Agency).
Set within the International Space Station ISS, the video game is part of a project conceived byEuropean Space Agency with the aim of promoting their online shop.
The official video game of ESA (European Space Agency) was associated with a contest in which players who reached a certain score would obtain discount vouchers for online purchases, as part of a larger campaign for ESA Ugly Sweater promotion, the line of fun gadgets (t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs) inspired by the famous “ugly sweaters” that are given at Christmas and the video game design.
To date, on the official website of Esa Shop are Many video game gadgets available and we suggest you take a look, the space station and planet Earth in 8-bit are not to be missed!
La Video game mechanics are a lot of fun. The player must put himself in the shoes of an astronaut and enter the International Space Station, choose an avatar and Access missions that allow explore space and learn about the environments of the International Space Station.
We have carried out five missions that show the player the areas present in the International Space Station and inside each room he can carry out a mission such as: taking pictures of stars and planets from the Dome, the delivery of the meal to the astronaut, a musical memory game dedicated to the care and growth of plants in the ISS, a game of interlocking gears and a mini game set outside the ISS.
The player must therefore put himself in the shoes of an astronaut but he must also be careful, because even among the stars there are unforeseen events, such as meteorites and poor memory!
onetime Once you have selected the avatar then, you enter the International Space Station, to face the five missions, the user can choose which one to start with!
The mission that takes place inside the Dome, namely the famous Point of observation of the Earth, aims to take pictures of the stars and planets that float outside, taking care to avoid photographing satellites. The original video game design was in a Christmas version, so the goal was to photograph Christmas gift packages and to be able to photograph Santa Claus. Once the campaign is over, The game has been adapted to be played all the time, so you won't find the Christmas details but a pixel art graphic layout inspired by astronaut missions in space.
A mission in line with life on the International Space Station is certainly one in which it is necessary to be fast and very precise to Give the astronaut his favorite meal.
If instead Memory games I am your strong suit, you can test yourself with the musical game: to grow plants inside the space station you will have to memorize a musical sequence and play it.
Finally, a very special test will bring you outside the International Space Station, but not before opening the tailgate through the right combination of the gears.
In the original version, once the tests were over, the video game was linked to a contest in which a minimum score was reached, you could leave your e-mail address to obtain the discount voucher. Today you play without access to the contest, but only to test yourself!
