Overview

Martian Madness is an educational game about building a Mars base!

As you begin the game on the surface of Mars, you are tasked with creating as many "Biospheres" as possible. In order to do so you must collect minerals from the Martian landscape, transport them in your rover, process them, build up you base, and defend it from any who would try to harm it!

Martian Madness includes networked multiplayer, allowing many different players to join the same environment and compete to build the most habitable base!

Some of our features include:

BASE BUILDING AND PROGRESSION: Using resources gathered from your surroundings, you can build a wide array of structures which can power your base, defend it, or produce resources!

THIRD PERSON EXPLORATION: Exit base mode to enter adventure mode, which allows you to walk around the surface, interact with items, and drive your rover around the Martian Environment

EDUCATIONAL ASSITANT: Your robot companion F.R.A.N.K. (Friendly Robotic Assistant for New Knowledge) gives you information about the surface of Mars and the structures you are building.

ALIEN INVASIONS: Periodically defend your base from UFOs that drop pesky aliens onto your base.

COMBAT: Construct Auto-Turrets or use your "Rock"-et Launcher to defend your structures, or sabotage other players.

What aspect of Space Science is represented?

The educational content includes information about the Martian surface, the mineral content of the soil and its relevance to a Martian colonizer, and some of the buildings you can construct. For example, you can construct different levels of communications arrays, from a radio dish to a laser array, to a quantum communication device, which improve your supply drop frequencies. and all have little blurbs tied to them.
