Rubble! 1.2

Asteroids can range from solitary rocks to aggregations of smaller rocks, all bound together by their mutual gravitational forces. A notable number of these celestial bodies are currently on a trajectory towards Earth. Players are tasked with employing bombs and impactors to deflect these asteroids away from our planet before time runs out, highlighting the serious stakes involved in the mission. It's important to note that while popular media often portrays the simple destruction of asteroids as effective, scientifically, this approach is flawed.

This game offers a single-level experience grounded in the Box2D physics engine, accurately simulating gravitational attraction among individual asteroids in a consistent manner. For educators, Rubble! serves as an engaging educational tool that can complement classroom discussions about asteroids, comets, Earth impacts, and the fundamental principles of gravity. The development of this game was made possible through grants from the National Science Foundation and NASA.
