You’re an elite Arkonaut, a space traveling animal that’s just landed on a barren planet in need of terraforming. So, what on earth is terraforming and where do you begin?

In Space Ark, terraforming is the process of turning a barren planet into an oasis of life and is achieved by mastering three steps:

• Step 1: Collect Combos – Bounce and steer your Arkonaut to collect combos made up of chains of three or more DNA blocks of the same color.
• Step 2: Reach Combo Target – Hold on tight to the DNA chains to reach the Combo Target and rack up those high scores.
• Step 3: Exit – Spin out of the exit and sprinkle DNA across the planet’s surface to bring it back to life.

Of course, that’s not all there is to it! The game has six stages for each of its 28 missions. While the early missions are fairly straightforward, things get trickier later as players are helped and hindered by obstacles and collectables such as fans, switches, teleports and power-ups. Space Ark, will be released this spring on the Xbox LIVE Arcade.
