A meteor is falling on your astronaut. You have 15-45 seconds and a handful of parts. Build something over his head. Then watch it not work.

Every material fails in its own way, and that is the whole game:

• Wood is light and holds a build together — but it burns, and it snaps under weight.
• Stone stops the shrapnel — but it shatters into more shrapnel.
• Metal soaks both the impact and the fire — but it is heavy, and heavy things fall.

So you stack them: metal on top to eat the hit, stone under it to catch the bolts, wood inside where nothing can set it alight. Get the order wrong and your own roof kills him.

Anything that touches the astronaut kills him. The meteor, a bolt of spalled stone, a falling plank, your own shelter collapsing. There is no partial credit.

Ten meteors. Every death shows you a slow-motion killcam of exactly what hit him, then puts you back at the same rock with the same shelter, so you can fix the one thing that was wrong.
