## What is Moon Patrol?

Protect Earth with the Moon.

Every wave is synchronized to the music. Read the changing patterns, move with the beat, and turn collisions into chain reactions to score big.

FEATURES
• Guide the Moon with simple touch-and-drag controls
• Deflect asteroids before they reach Earth
• Play music-driven waves with changing patterns
• Face regular, ice, ore, and volcanic asteroids
• Encounter black holes and wormholes
• Complete eight story levels, then take on infinite mode
• Unlock a picture gallery with stardust earned in play

The sky is getting crowded. Follow the rhythm, protect Earth, and chase your next high score.
