Story
Xump, a tiny headbot, has been created by an unknown astronauts, who was all in to help cleaning space garbage. As the guys space mission came to an end earlier as expected, his unfinished technical masterpiece was shelved away on planet earth for years until Holger, an uprising space addict, found it in a library in Berlin, Germany. His request to fix it, was granted and he took X-UMP 483Y with him. After several weeks of hard work, the headbot Xump came to live again, X-UMP483Y would have just sound too complicated.
The unfinished, but well functioning prototype has been enhanced to show minor emotions and also understand such. For it's initial task, a virtual reality simulation has been created, where unstable space fields were dissolved successfully.
Just a month later, Holger got to know that Misuki, his secret love, was about to join an important space cleaning mission. In a rush, he managed to get Misuki the headbot Xump as protector on her lonesome mission. After all, he would be very happy to see her safe home again.
Gameplay
Help Misuki to clean up deserted space fields. Luckily Holger borrowed out his headbot Xump, who will take over again.
Clear all dissolving tiles on several single-screen levels by simply stepping on them, one by one. Few fields are secured with mines and need a double tap. Mines can be blown up when passing by or disarmed by Xump when staying on this specific field for a short moment. Certainly the mission sounds easier than it will be.
