No download and no account. Open the game and start the mission.

Rescue the crew

Why a small game

Most of my products solve a problem. Mars Mission is one of the not so useful but funny ones: it is here to be fun.

My goal is to build small games that you can start in a few seconds, right in the browser, for free.

I build the game step by step and keep every version online. You can play the first idea next to the newest build and see how the game grows.
