## What is Scrimshaw?

Twenty-one short levels along the real route SpaceX has flown, from Falcon 1's first orbit in 2008 to a city on Mars. Each level is a different challenge, and each opens with the true story of the place you are flying to.

SEVEN WAYS TO FLY

Dodge a debris field. Fly through a Starlink train collecting satellites. Weave through a meteor storm for fuel. Land a booster on a droneship by lighting the engine at the last moment. Dock Crew Dragon with the Space Station. Close the launch tower's arms on Starship's booster. Hold the throttle through Max Q and keep the needle in the safe band.

SHORT, AND HARDER AS YOU GO

Most levels take under a minute. Earn one to three stars to open the next stop, then come back for three stars on every one. You get three shields a level: lose them all and you fly it again.

FOUR ROCKETS

Start with Falcon 9 and unlock Crew Dragon, Falcon Heavy and Starship at the stops where each made its name. Each is modelled from its published dimensions, and each handles differently: Starship carries an extra shield, Falcon Heavy steers faster, Crew Dragon collects from further away.

MUSIC THAT FOLLOWS THE FLIGHT

The score is generated as you play. It tightens as junk closes in, climbs a scale with every satellite you collect, and ends each level with a fanfare as good as your stars.

PLAY IT YOUR WAY

Turn the phone sideways for a full-screen flight. Game Center achievements and leaderboards. No adverts, nothing to buy, no account, no tracking.

Scrimshaw is an unofficial fan game. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by SpaceX. SpaceX, Falcon, Dragon and Starship are names belonging to Space Exploration Technologies Corp., used here only to tell the story.

Made in Ontario by Antipode Technologies.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.3 — 2026-10-27

Fixes the booster landings. Tapping early in the fall used to stop the booster in mid air and drop it onto the pad, so level 3 could feel impossible. Now an early tap lands safely, the gold band is wider, and lighting a moment late is a hard landing rather than a crash.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-10-27

Scrimshaw now asks you to update when a new version is on the App Store, so you always fly with the latest fixes. Your progress and stars are untouched.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-18

Fixes two crashes, one when signed in to Game Center and one during the flying levels. The music now plays from the start: every kind of level has its own theme, and it follows the phone's silent switch until you turn it on yourself.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-13

No release notes.
