User reviews

Dead game but good

I finish all levels but sadly it only has 3

Good but there’s something I wish it had

It’s good but there should be more levels and you shouldn’t
have to click “Name It!” when naming your rocket.

Waste of time

After you have designed the rocket there is no way to flight test it.

Okay game

Designing the rockets is cool but when they fail it’s kinda painful, also I don’t like changing my design because of “not enough thrust”.

So bad

I did complete sun orbit mission but it is easy to fail level 2 I want controls in the game so you can control the rocket so there is no dangerous stuff
