  • Doesn’t follow where you want to go

    I wanted to go to a lava planet, but when I got to the place. It was gas giant! I thought it was going to be a lava planet I guess there’s no lava planet in the game. Please add lava planets. And fix that glitch because I’ll rate the game five stars if you fix it.

    The planet is 55 Cancri A d

    Thanks

    Developer Response

    But "55 Cancri A d" is really a gas giant. "55 Cancri A e" is the lava planet. It is included by default in the favorites (Explore menu)
  • Good game!

    Ive only had this game for 20 minutes and I already love it! This life like simulator of space is amazingly beautiful in every way! I recommend this game if you are into space.
  • Planets & Stars

    This app is awesome! I really love how much I’ve learned about planets, stars, and our universe from this app. I would’ve given 5 stars but I think there’s some slight improvements that can be made, I feel like a faster ship or an option to travel faster through space would be cool. Also I think more realistic weather would make this app a sold 5/5. I want the controls that allow you to move, to have an option to be invisible! Some more planet details would be cool. Also I think there should be an option where the planets are more interactive when it comes to landing on them. The walking mechanics are wonky and tricky to use. I just think more walking options would be great! Overall great app! 4.5/5
