Mission Control: Critical Orbit
Flight Controllers work against a 20-minute timer to save a rocket crew stranded in orbit after a damaged ship misses its reentry window. In this cooperative, real-time roll-and-write game, one player commands the astronaut aboard the rocket while up to three others manage unique tasks from Mission Control. Controllers earn tools to restore oxygen and critical systems, while the astronaut builds a path with polyominoes. The crew returns safely if the repairs are completed before time runs out.
