SHORT DESCRIPTION
1983: a killer satellite is put into orbit, then forgotten. 2041: it wakes up, and
everything circling the Earth becomes a target. One shot, a cloud of debris, a chain
reaction. An incremental pixel-art game where you set off the Kessler syndrome.

ABOUT THE GAME
1983. A top-secret military satellite, KESSLER-1, is put into orbit to take out enemy
satellites. It is never switched on. Everyone forgets about it.

2041. It wakes up. Its orders haven't changed.

One cannon, a dying battery and thousands of targets. Every satellite you hit bursts
into debris. Every piece of debris hits another. And the orbit starts tearing itself apart.

Aim, fire once, then watch. Fragments fly at orbital speed and smash into everything in
their path. Between passes, KESSLER-1 refits in its maintenance bay: dozens of upgrades on
punched cards. From 400 km up to geostationary orbit, every new altitude opens up new
targets, up to the Concorde space station.

Down on the ground, messages come in over an old telex. Customer support apologizes for
the inconvenience. Space traffic control starts to panic. KESSLER-1 replies in 1983
military protocol.
