Stratageo

Created by Constance, Thomas and James at Fuse Jam 3 with the theme object 'shoelace' and the planetary description 'The planet is famed for the many terraces that look as though they have been 'carved' into rock faces. Claims that these structures must have been made by intelligent lifeforms are unverified.'
