Three differently weighted probes descend toward volcanic vents on Io beside a mechanical speed consoleHOLD BLUE · RELEASE ON YELLOW

JUL 23 · GLOBAL · 25 SEC

TEMPERATURE: IO

THE SOLAR SYSTEM'S HOTTEST THERMOMETER JOB.

HOLD A BLUE “SAFE” VENT. RELEASE AT YELLOW “WAVE NEAR”.

The precision probe on the left descends slowly, the standard probe in the centre at medium speed, and the weighted probe on the right quickly. Pick both a safe vent and a speed, then release to score. A late-yellow edge recovery earns +40. Heat waves accelerate for the final eight seconds.

Holding through red “DANGER” makes heat surge; 100% breaks the probe. This is an editorial metaphor; Juno measured remotely.

Touch/pointer: hold a blue vent and release on yellow · Keyboard: hold 1 / 2 / 3

TEMPERATURE: IO
News summary
NASA's Juno mission reported the first temperature measurements below Io's surface, finding significant heat in the shallow subsurface of the Solar System's most volcanic world.
Why we made it playable
This game turns the news into a short playable challenge: The precision probe on the left descends slowly, the standard probe in the centre at medium speed, and the weighted probe on the right quickly. Pick both a safe vent and a speed, then release to score. A late-yellow edge recovery earns +40. Heat waves accelerate for the final eight seconds.
