Truly great game

Too good you get 5.3 stars

(๐ŸšจYAP ALERT BTW๐Ÿšจ) Amazing game butโ€ฆ

I downloaded this game after Artemis II because I got inspired to get into manned spaceflight. Still playing it and have landed on all celestial bodies (and made colonies) and made a 1/1 iss in earth orbit. I know that itโ€™s on mobile so thereโ€™s limits and everything, but adding some more planets would make it a lot more fun. Also, when I attempted (and kinda succeeded) making an SSTO, all went well until re-entry when I tried gliding down using the stock fins (dont have expansion) but the spacecraft dropped vertically instead of gliding like the space shuttle. Anyways in short AMAZING game best KSP analog for mobile out there but a few things could be added/altered for better experience keep doing what youโ€™re doing Astrelix๐Ÿ‘
