I realized now that I should have put the name of the game in the strip title, maybe. If you got super cranked up looking at the power board in the comic, and you were like "surely they aren't doing a Tetris-inspired block puzzle to manage their ship, just like I saw in that dream I had.

Created during the original “Pitch Week” in which we present to you the reader three new comic ideas presented as a single page pitch.
