## What is Padfall?

Padfall is a precision rocket landing game. Guide a reusable booster to a soft, upright touchdown with careful steering and thrust.

Steer with the left pad and set thrust with the right. The altitude tape shows a burn bracket: the last altitude where a full vertical burn still stops you at the deck. Light the engine there, manage your sideways drift, and touch down soft, upright and on the pad.

• Twenty campaign missions on Earth, the Moon and Mars, unlocked one landing at a time
• Moving recovery decks at sea, night recoveries, crosswind and thin Martian air
• Thrust and attitude control
• Grades for every touchdown: Nominal or Perfect, with a score for softness, centring, attitude and fuel left
• Cadence: a chain of drops that climbs higher each time, with a growing score multiplier
• Progress and settings are saved on your device
• Supported by ads; optional paint schemes for the booster as in-app purchases; no account

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-24

Twelve new levels. The campaign now runs to twenty missions: a wide crossrange approach, a slow shore wind, decks that swing further than the pad, fast chop, gusts, a long lunar approach, a stormy Mars entry, a mixed deck-and-wind line, a hot ballistic entry, a thin-margin lunar burn, a night squall and a homecoming from higher than ever. Your progress carries over: clearing Return opens level 9.

A smoother opener: the PADFALL title now leaves the screen before the menu appears, with no overlap.

The Paint shop now shows each paint on the booster itself, so you can see every scheme before you preview it.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-18

Padfall now runs natively on iPad with the same touch controls.

New: a Paint shop on the main menu. Original Silver stays free; thirteen country-inspired paint schemes for the booster are available as one-time purchases. Preview any paint, buy the ones you like, equip them any time, and use Restore purchases on a new device. Paints are looks only.

Padfall is now supported by ads: a small banner on the main menu and an occasional fullscreen ad after a landing or crash, never during a flight. Before the first ad you choose whether ads may be personalized; you can change that answer at any time under Privacy options on the main menu.

A new opener: a fleet of rockets lifts off and the PADFALL title stays readable for a moment before the menu appears.

Smoother start-up: a brief freeze as the menu appeared has been fixed.

The menu banner now retries automatically after a loading failure, without reopening the app. On iPad, banners use a standard size centred at the top of the menu when an ad is available.

Instruction text tidied for touch play.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-13
