### 4/5 — Needs to be a free sandbox mode

*2026-08-11, version 2.17.7*

How upset because you have to do missions to Unlock rocket parts, help setting the missions are too hard get rid of career mode so everyone can joy the Rockets

### 4/5 — My poor rocket

*2026-06-16, version 2.17.2*

Why does my rocket randomly yup over and explode?🤯

### 5/5 — I love this game, could you add this feature?

*2026-05-03, version 2.16.0*

I love this game so much I have visited almost every planet, how ever it would be cool it you were able to take parts of the spacecraft (example solar panels and RCS) and put them your space station because you can’t do that in game, GREAT GAME THO!!!

### 5/5 — Best mobile game I have ever played

*2026-04-08, version 2.16.0*

No ads like at all no payments and really good gameplay, unbelievable good for what it is

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-04, version 2.16.0*

Great game I only have two requests one the ability to have uranium on nool, two the 
ability to buy everything in the store all at once.

### 5/5 — THE BEST SPACE GAME

*2026-03-22, version 2.16.0*

This game is my favorite space games ever. I have played a lot of space games and this one is the best. This game is underrated. A doesn’t have many players even thought it deserves more.  The career missions are very good even though some of them are pretty much the same but they are still fun. Some more things to add: 1 More preset structures for sandbox (none, some and lots) I think there should be a thing in between some and lots also having the career mission structures as a preset structures.                          
2: more premade blueprints like: small medium and large space stations. And just more others in general 
3: a new neighboring Solar system. (Possibly a Alpha Centauri counterpart) adding a new Solar system wold defiantly be  a DLC that costs between 10-20$
4: control room in the original space agency there was a control Room I know there is the command noolus but on some space craft like space stations it looks ugly so there should be a control ROOM I would be like the station module but with a long desk with some computers that would be like FLT computers.
5: my SLT suggestion is a military expansion that could cost 8$ it would come with a defense Module that has a radar. It would also have carbon fiber stealthy variants on normal Modular’s and a military space station blue print NOT THE MIL SAT THATS ALREADY IN THE GAME. Instead something like delta Stn 
And Thats all. Ps Nooleus please read this I spent like a hour writing this.

### 5/5 — I like game but Plz add landing water

*2026-02-28, version 2.15.3*

Add spaceship plz🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Is the tutorial bugged

*2026-02-26, version 2.15.3*

I try to play all the tutorial but it seems tutorial 8 super hub blueprint is nowhere to be found

Edit: welp….it got fixed the next day…. Best game…. No doubt

### 5/5 — Miglior gioco in assoluto

*2026-02-16, version 2.15.0*

Sia space agency 1 e 2 sono i migliori giochi di simulazione in assoluto. Spero tanto che in space agency 2138 riescano ad aggiungere altre missioni presto

### 5/5 — Pretty cool niche game

*2026-02-08, version 2.14.1*

The game is super challenging and fun, and I would love if the game was more popular or had more features when building a space craft like from the previous game or a sandbox mode where theres no coins needed and you can build anything or hire more astronauts even in other planets it would be nice if you did.

### 5/5 — My Review and Some of My Ideas

*2025-12-30, version 2.14.1*

Overall, Space Agency 2138 is simply very enjoyable for me. I spend hours playing this game everyday, doing whatever I want. I should definitely spend less time playing games in general, but I can’t resist the urge to play. There are some bugs here and there, but they can easily be fixed with a patch.
Anyway, here are some ideas that I have:
- New star system (Would require perhaps a $15 or $20 DLC) (Player can choose whether to have it in their world or not when creating it)
- More economy-related things (Maybe a DLC) (Optional for the player to enable or disable)
	- Fluctuating prices (e.g. selling price of Carbon is 650 coins instead of 800)
	- Supply and Demand (Would determine the prices, and the space agency can affect the market)
- Multiplayer (Very Unlikely and actually wouldn’t recommend. If so, then would require a subscription, and constant maintenance of the servers)
- More Missions
- War (DLC) (Actually wouldn’t recommend. If so, then age rating would be like 13+)

Keep up with the development of this awesome, yet simple game! And please add more things into the original Space Agency…

### 3/5 — Dear developers

*2025-11-30, version 2.14.1*

I’m having trouble on my iPhone so when o play the game the controls don’t appear but only I can swipe

### 5/5 — Dear Nooleus,

*2025-11-20, version 2.14.0*

I really like your game but I just wanted to say that I’m experiencing this thing where all my worlds where I’ve been to at least on planet it says “Greeb-No survey” even though I have never been to Greeb on most my games. Is this intentional? If not I don’t want to stress you to much tho fix this since it’s not affecting gameplay.

Thank you for this game.

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2025-11-07, version 2.13.0*

The game is great, but what if the antenna dishes of the ADS and Satellite and the tug piece of the Tug were components that you could attach and detach?

### 4/5 — Awesome & unique

*2025-10-18, version 2.13.0*

It’s a huge improvement compared to the (good) old Space Agency. I’m impressed.

I found a minor bug – if you have exactly the same amount of fuel in the warehouse as required for the rocket launch, you can’t start it.

I found a MAJOR BUG: you can override number of resources by adding them as cargo in amounts greater than you have in the warehouses and then releasing them – it seems the game doesn’t check that.

EDIT:
I apologize, I have to lower my rating to 4 stars, because I lost several hours of sandbox gameplay due to a bug in the game: after loading my save, the rocket that was on its way to the Moon changed direction and started moving away (the Moon itself also bugged out and displayed as Earth). I couldn't do anything because the rocket was on autopilot (without an astronaut). I decided to load a previous backup, but it was too old, so I tried going back to the original save, but apparently it got overwritten by the backup :(

CHANGE REQUEST: Maybe a better solution would be to add an autosave system, e.g. every 5 minutes (in separate save slots, so you could revert to any point in time)?

### 2/5 — Crashing on Luna

*2025-09-30, version 2.12.2*

This game is fun to play but I carat land on Luna the moon I don’t now way Iv tried 8 time and crasht every time for thes I give it 2 star I wood give it 4.5 star if I cod land on Luna

### 1/5 — Sandbox building components locked behind tutorial and missions

*2026-05-14, version 2.16.0*

A lot of of the missions in the game use the launch mechanic which is the most annoying part of this game and as you can get flight computer three that auto launches in the sandbox I generally avoid manually launching several of the components I have used to build things and now locked I have paid for this game. I have paid for extra content now I have to do a stupid boring thing to play with a sandbox which was the only thing I enjoyed. I generally hate how the game forces you into portrait with the iPad all the time and the flight mechanics in atmosphere are. Something to be avoided now you are forced to confront them no matter how you want to play the game because of content being locked this is the point I uninstall and leave the game

### 1/5 — please fix

*2026-03-29, version 2.16.0*

My progress are all gone!!! 😭. Ive almost finished the career mode to mission 25 and then after a few days, all of my career progress and even the tutorial- all gone!!! it took days to complete, now my parts that im supposed to have are now locked. Im quitting 😭😭😭

### 1/5 — Please add the module of the opportunity station.

*2026-03-18, version 2.16.0*

please

### 1/5 — Impossible to read on iPhone 12

*2025-12-03, version 2.14.1*

Too bad. Looked good. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Great game but a problem

*2025-09-22, version 2.12.2*

It’s a great game but when you are making a space station and an tiny bit of your rocket touches your space station the whole thing EXPLODES I HATE THAT CANGE IT IMMEDIATELY PLEASE

### 1/5 — Way too difficult

*2025-09-20, version 2.12.2*

I can not dock the ship within crashing into the station and there needs to be ACTUAL SANDBOX With cheats and and other things 100 percent do not recommend

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-11-23, version 2.7.2*

No matter what I do I can’t get a rocket to space. Just after booster separation the app crashes every single time. Extremely frustrating. Game has so much potential, such a shame.

### 1/5 — WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING

*2024-10-20, version 2.7.0*

2 stars

### 1/5 — Genuinely terrible.

*2024-05-13, version 2.5.0*

You complicated things that didn’t need complication and simplified the best parts about the first game. It’s not so much a step down from the first game as it is a trip and fall down every step of that stairwell from the shinra tower in final fantasy 7. Oh my gosh, where to even begin? The first mission couldn’t be completed with a basic rocket. I had to step up to a higher tier and even then it still barely made it to orbit over the course of FOUR full minutes. It was so slow and boring. The addition of the 3D axis just makes it so much more tedious, as controlling a 3D object with a 2D touch screen virtual joystick is far more difficult and fiddly than it needs to be. The joystick is so floaty and so sensitive, i was wobbling back and forth the entire way up. that’s probably why it took so long. And then there’s the automation. oh my gosh, why is so much automated now? landing is automated, orbiting is automated, travel is automated. there’s so much autopilot i’m wondering where the game is. The first person movement sections and building interiors add nothing and actively detract from the game. The field of view is terrible and just navigating around them and figuring out what i’m looking at and what i need to do is so frustrating. Just give me a menu. Menus are fine. Just make it a menu instead. This is unnecessary. Life pods and crew members things feel pointless and… like, life pods? why are crew members stuffed into stasis? weird sci fi stuff that has no consistency with the tech level of the rest of the game. it’s nonsensical. again, more needless complications. Resource generation and economy management, no thanks. Unnecessary and frustrating. Rocket parts? Where did they all go? Rockets are boring and plain in this game. So much more. I just can’t think of it all off the top of my head right now. Sorry but game bad. I wanted it to be good. but game bad. I’m just replaying the first game instead of suffering through any more of this. Space Agency is still so good! Play that instead!!

### 1/5 — Верните автопилот!

*2024-04-27, version 2.5.0*

Автопилот при взлёте ракеты очень помогал, игру можно было ускорить… 
А теперь нужно долго долетать до космоса, около 3 минут минимум, хотя раньше автовзлёт занимал 2 минуты

### 5/5 — W game

*2026-08-20, version 2.17.7*

Space :3

### 5/5 — Add this plz

*2026-08-17, version 2.17.7*

I would like if you can buy unlock all parts but still a cool game!

### 5/5 — OK so I want to report A crash

*2026-08-05, version 2.17.7*

I was doing the Apollo 11      
Until a crash appearance like when I want for space walk and I 
Zoom outside I craft visible before spacewalk, I saw the inside of the craft

### 5/5 — Centrifuges

*2026-07-20, version 2.17.7*

Nice game overall i have one request, functional centrifuges people could make cool looking space stations with those also a functional walking, to walk inside inside in the centrifuges i would be great if walking mode activated when entered an centrifuge and deactivated automatically when exiting the centrifuges i hope you will add this part in the future nice work! Keep it up! Thanks for creating this game

### 5/5 — I fonde a bug

*2026-07-17, version 2.17.7*

So I was just messing around but the moment I left the dock hub range 3 air tanks disappeared. 
I don’t know how to spell

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2026-07-13, version 2.17.7*

Honestly, it’s a bit harder to dock and actually is way more realistic. People can complain about the “difficulty” when they asked for a harder version that was 3D when the original game was realeased. Though all I got to say is MORE ROCKET STUFF. It’s been four years but barely any parts

### 5/5 — Please remove timer during missions so I don’t have to stress and make mistakes

*2026-07-07, version 2.17.6*

Please

### 5/5 — Love it..

*2026-06-14, version 2.17.2*

I loved the original, and I’m loving this one, too.  I’ve waited for a while to review it, but it’s simply great.  I’m so glad that you’re continuing to expand the game.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Titanic nerd

*2026-05-29, version 2.17.1*

Sorry for the previous thing, I didn’t check what the update gave but it is still a good game

### 5/5 — I love this game, could you add this feature?

*2026-05-14, version 2.16.0*

I love this game so much I have visited almost every planet, however it would be cool it you were able to take parts of the spacecraft (example solar panels and RCS) and put them your space station because you can’t do that in game, GREAT GAME THO!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
