From the README

A strategic cislunar orbital defense game built for PICO-8.

Earth has crossed the line. After years of escalating tension in cislunar space, Earth's orbital command has launched a full assault on the Moon's defensive garrison. You command the Moon's automated defense grid — a network of interceptors, salvage tugs, and heavy weapons systems embedded beneath the lunar surface.

What Earth doesn't know is that the Moon isn't just a rock. It's a machine.

Survive five increasingly brutal assault packets. Destroy Earth's orbital infrastructure — shipyards, jammers, and aegis shields.
