    First of all: Wow! The the easteregg hunt was ON! And you all marked 3 Million new craters. We are looking at 4.2 Million Craters! We are just speechless. Maybe the fact that we were on the German national news played a factor. Who knows :D The new update brings one major visual change and that is the new Quest Portraits! We partnered with an Artist who created new handmade portraits for the game. Gone are the days of AI generated temporary characters. There are also a bunch of bugfixes in the game: The Lunar South Pole Achievement was bugged, it can now be Achieved Some Players had black screens on the satellite images. This should be fixed now The UI of the spaceship launchpad was somewhat buggy it should now behave nicely The game now makes backups that can be restored in case a critical error occurs We mainly wanted to say thank you for all your commitment! This was a crazy week and…

  • Spaceship Update - 3 March 2025

    Hello Lunar Pioneers, it's been a while! The past few months have been kind of crazy for me but now I'm finally able to launch the next major update for the game. This time I've focused on the late game content, focusing on some big spaceships. But I've also improved the overall user experience and marking feedback. Pole Gliders Getting water for your homegrown food and plants has been pretty tedious so far as our station is located near the moons equator. As in real life, we suspect frozen water and gases to be found at the lunar poles. Why only there? Well, the sun is shining at such a steep angle that some craters are always in shadow reaching constant freezing cold temperatures which means liquid and gases freeze and... stay in place instead of evaporating. You can build huge spaceships to travel to the polar regions and bring back water and frozen gases. Launchpad You can now launc…

  • 1 Million Craters - 4 November 2024

    You madlads! you actually did it! This weekend we've reached 1 Million Crater Annotations! We just wanted to say thank you! When launched the game back in August we never thought this goal would be reached so fast. The past months have been an amazing ride for us and we are so happy that so many of you joined us to help the European Space Agency. Of course there are still billions of craters out there but this is a huge step to show ESA that games and gamers can do so much good when given the opportunity. We are paving the way for a bright future of Gaming for Science! Catch you on the moon, The IMPACT Team Austin Powers © Warner Bros. Pictures (New Line Cinema)

  • Marking Improvements - 24 October 2024

    Dear Lunar Pioneers, wow we are once again amazed by what you've achieved. Right now we are looking at 770000 markings since our launch at gamescom in August! Marking Improvements A lot of you gave feedback in the steam forum and on our Discord that the marking experience could be improved and while we are still working on getting the more complex features in, we think we've been able to address the major painpoints. Less punishing mistakes Your He-3 Multiplier does not reset immediately when making a mistake. This was especially frustrating when encountering ambiguous or wrongly annotated craters. You now get 3 strikes per picture before we reduce the multiplier, so feel free to mark more boldly. A new dataset of known craters We've sat down and fixed up some of the craters in our database so there shouldn't be as many false negatives in the known images. This point caused a lot of con…

Community Milestone: We're super excited to share that your combined effort has led to an incredible amount of 372,000 marked moon craters so far!

    Many of you reported that it's sometimes unclear if what's a crater and what isn't so we've compiled an overview in the Reference Panel. This is not the big new content update, we are still working on it :) Changes: New Reference Panel in the Marking Mode showing references of craters and other lunar features to make marking more clear Hotfix: Limit Batch Productions to 500 at a time to prevent a client-crash with big production volumes. We'll further investigate the issue but for now this is a safe temporary fix

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

IMPACT's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

IMPACT's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records IMPACT at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
