In a distant future, after humanity's desperate attempts to colonize and reshape new worlds, the use of nuclear terraforming technology left some unintended consequences. On one such lava planet, radioactive objects roam the landscape—remnants of the failed nuclear experiments. These objects relentlessly seek out anything that crosses their path. Your task is to collect 21 essential blocks of sand, scattered across the land, to stabilize the planet's environment before time runs out. But beware, some of those radioactive objects may follow you closely if you come too near.

Time is ticking, and with each block of sand, your planet inches closer to salvation. Can you gather them all before the clock runs out and avoid the radioactive threats?

Objective:

Collect all 21 blocks of sand before time runs out. Each block brings your planet one step closer to stability, but the radioactive remnants are relentless. Avoid them at all costs, or risk exposure to their deadly radiation.

Controls:

• Move:
  • Keyboard: Use the arrow keys or WASD to roll your ball across the terrain.
  • Gamepad: Use the right analog stick to move the ball.
• Jump:
  • Keyboard: Press Spacebar to make the ball jump.
  • Gamepad: Press the A button to jump.
• Return to Menu:

  • Gamepad: Press the Start button to return to the menu.
• Restart Game:
  • Keyboard: Press R to restart the game.

Can you master the terrain, avoid the radioactive threats, and save your planet in time? Test your skills in Terraformer and become the hero that your world desperately needs!
