PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Corebound: The Metal Mission! This is a collection of six minigames meant to represent different parts of the Psyche Mission, each with differing gameplay and mechanics. The game is meant to be educational and fun, while accurately representing facts about the Psyche Mission and raising awareness. It was designed with mobile play in mind and is meant to work on popular browsers of just about any mobile device.
