Oli the robot space archivist has spent lifetimes roaming the universe, collecting data about natural phenomena and the technological advances of countless worlds — but the data tracks are corrupted and need your help! Test your spelling skills, discover fun facts about astronomy and the cosmos, and earn Credits to restore Oli's archive one word at a time. Feeling brave? Switch on Asteroid Attack and race the clock before impact. A fireball grows in the corner of your screen, shuddering with tension as the countdown ticks — solve the word fast and it retreats, hesitate and it strikes. Bank your leftover seconds from one word to the next, and crack a word in the final moments while the rock is already in flight to pull off a Near Miss. Three difficulty levels. Up to six words. One incoming asteroid. Stuck on a track? Earn your way out with Baseword Match. A board of cards showing Oli and the crew flashes face-up, then turns over — remember where every pair sits and clear the whole board before your misses run out. No luck involved, just memory. Clear it and you earn a Hint that's yours to keep, ready for whenever a track has you stuck. A free round comes back around regularly, and if you want another before then, watch a rewarded ad for Match Passes or trade in some of your Credits. Now challenge up to 7 friends in real-time multiplayer — create or join a game, pick your avatar, and race to solve the tracks first. Unlock badges and climb the leaderboards. The universe is waiting.
