The Earth government makes a decision to launch a spaceship loaded with human DNA capsules to the discovered planet c48. The crew with just a few brave people are operating the ship, and the survival of the whole population is in their hands. On the 21st day of the journey the ship's navigation system reports malfunction, and the crew has to face a meteor storm. During the unexpected storm, the ship gets seriously damaged. Main computer's chips get lost, and the crew is locked in separate parts of the ship without communication. Each member of the crew has a set of spare chips which are essential to be placed on the Main computer's motherboard. In order to repair the ship, they need to organize a set of microchips in ascending order from the bottom to the top of the motherboard. There is not much time left and the crew has to act wisely and carefully. Meteors are hitting the ship and soon it might blow up failing the whole mission. Each crew member has 5 chips with unique IDs on hand that they can choose from to make a move and place it on the motherboard. Also, there is an additional limited number of chips in the rooms. They can randomly find those chips to maintain an optimal number of chips on hand. The ship is repaired once the motherboard is fully filled, and the mission is saved. This game is under constant development and new modes, features and challenges are coming soon. By installing or using mc48, you agree to our Terms: https://mavdew.com/mc48/terms.
