Collision

This game starts with a short tutorial about kinetic energy. Once you go into the control room for asteroid destruction, you have to click the incoming asteroids to determine the mass and velocity of the rocket you will launch to destroy it. Make good decisions with your calculations, because you're also on a budget! The less money you spend helps you gain more points on the scoreboard.
