SPACECAT
RHETORIC RUSH
Start by flying Orbit through the signal field. At the first gate, pause to read an original AP Language practice passage and scan the rhetorical situation. Then tackle choices, appeals, and tone and rebuild two choice → evidence → effect chains in the Repair Bay.
Free, in the browser. Your gameplay stays on this device. 15–20 minutes.
AP Lang teachers: the full version runs 12 missions on 12 original passages with the CAT flight arcade, student PIN logins, autosave, and every answer landing in your Google Sheet.

Phase 1 · CAT flight warmup
Launch the flight, then read the argument.
Pilot Orbit through the signal field. Collect stardust ✦, scan Evidence Echoes, grab power signals — Buffer Bubble, Citation Magnet, Syntax Slowfield — and dodge the filing blocks. At each of the three Choices · Appeals · Tone gates the flight pauses for the reading. The first gate opens the passage briefing and SPACE scan; the flight stays paused until you return. Dodging never competes with thinking.

Navigator Mode flies for you and collects every signal — the same three reading gates, zero twitch control. The classroom version offers both.
