Ratings and reviews

So, far - I'd say this simulator has much potential! (I say, 'simulator', because, it is more, that, than, a mere, game, if you look at it from a learning perspective). It seems to be in an early developmental process, but it is a good overview of orbital mechanics, space flight, etcetera. There is much to be learned about space flight from using the simulator, as it is.

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!

I think people are expecting too much from a mobile simulator and clearly a single dev/ small team. This game is really fun. I can easily put a lot of time into designing my own rockets. At times there can be a placement bug with connectors. But aside from that, it's all fairly intuitive when you get used to it. The only solid rocket simulator on mobile I have found that doesn't require payment up front or corny farming mechanics. Thank you for making this app, whomever you are good sir.
