About this game

Have you ever watched a rocket launch and thought - what if that were mine?

Ellipse puts the solar system in your pocket. Design your rocket from scratch, plan your mission, and travel beyond Earth with physics that works exactly like the real thing.

Build it your way. Assemble rockets from components - engines, fuel tanks, parachutes, separators, and more. Just your rocket, ready to fly.

Travel the real inner solar system. From low Earth orbit to the surface of Mars. Simulated with real gravity and real orbital mechanics. Watch Earth grow smaller. Break through Martian atmosphere. Land where no one has landed before.

Features
- Real orbital mechanics and physics, nothing is faked
- The inner solar system to explore: Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars and Phobos
- Atmospheric reentry, parachute recovery, stage separation
- No ads. No data collected. Free to download.

The solar system is waiting. Build your rocket. Pioneer it.

Ratings and reviews

This simulator/game is an okay start. It shows great potential but lacks some quality of life things. I have not encountered some bugs others have mentioned, so I'm assuming they have been patched. However, I feel the simulator/game is lacking some important features. For example, it would be nice to mirror where I place parts on the rocket or plane. Additionally, the ability to make and plan maneuvers using nodes or similar concepts would make inter planetary and lunar missions much easier.

This game is great on a large scale, but the smaller aspects are rough, to say the least. It is very hard to plan pretty much anything (transfer windows, precise movements) and the rocket builder is super hard to work. I can tell this game is getting better though, as the game is getting updated (yay, venus and mercury) and when the game gets more polished then I might consider buying the parts expansion. Also, the orbit lines are very rigid and sometimes aren't aligned with my rocket. Pls fix!

this is one awsome game for sure but you guys need to work out some of the bugs or whatever for the mobile version, like, when your in the build, it hardly lets you put the parts where you want, especially the landing legs, and a few other things as well. other than that minor, but huge if your into these kinda things,fix, I believe you have here one of the coolest and most realistic games I've ever played
