Moonbase Alpha Updated with New Level, Features and Fixes
August 6, 2012 -- Virtual Heroes has released an update to Moonbase Alpha which features a new level "Moonbase Madness" with a brand new competitive mode. The level has two separate moonbases and two teams of three astronauts each are competing to repair their bases. Additional features and fixes are also included in the update.
In Moonbase Alpha, you assume the exciting role of an astronaut working to further human expansion and research. Returning from a research expedition, you witness a meteorite impact that cripples the life support capability of the settlement. With precious minutes ticking away, you and your team must repair and replace equipment in order to restore the oxygen production to the settlement.
Team coordination along with the proper use and allocation of your available resources (player controlled robots, rovers, repair tools, etc.) are key to your overall success. There are several ways in which you can successfully restore the life support system of the lunar base, but since you are scored on the time spent to complete the task, you have to work effectively as a team, learn from decisions made in previous gaming sessions, and make intelligence decisions in order to top the leaderboards.
