Asteroids can be single rocks, or clumps of smaller rocks held together by their mutual gravity

Rubble!

by Space Science Institute

What is it about?

Asteroids can be single rocks, or clumps of smaller rocks held together by their mutual gravity. And a bunch of them are headed towards Earth! Your job: use bombs and impactors to deflect them away from Earth before time runs out. Humanity is depending on you! And remember: those movies where they just blow up the asteroid and the pieces don’t matter? That doesn't actually work.

App Store Description

Asteroids can be single rocks, or clumps of smaller rocks held together by their mutual gravity. And a bunch of them are headed towards Earth! Your job: use bombs and impactors to deflect them away from Earth before time runs out. Humanity is depending on you! And remember: those movies where they just blow up the asteroid and the pieces don’t matter? That doesn't actually work.

This is a simple, one level game built on the Box2D physics engine. Individual asteroids are attracted to each other by their mutual gravity in a physically consistent way. For teachers: Rubble! can be used as an educational game to supplement classroom discussions on asteroids, comets, Earth impacts, and gravity as a universal force. Development was supported through grants by the National Science Foundation and NASA.
