The story
Far in the future, the Moon is mined for the rock that powers Earth. The main shaft runs so deep that the Moon now depends on it. When a meteor strikes, the shaft starts to give way with the crew still inside.
If it goes, the Moon goes with it. Earth's gravity would pull it down on everyone and everything. Even a near miss would wreck the tides and the winds, and famine would follow.
One miner sets off for the surface to shore the shaft up before it falls. Behind him it is already coming down, and his suit only holds so much air. He is climbing for the planet, and for the balance of the solar system.
How it plays
You jump from wall to wall up the shaft. Hold to aim, let go to jump. In the air a burst of oxygen turns you, so you can land on your feet. Land badly and the suit tears.
Debris falls past you, and a ledge is a safe place to let it go by. Canisters refill your air and a shield takes a hit for you. The climb starts over Earth, passes the Sun and runs out to Neptune. It plays with one thumb.
