Si vous voulez un vrai jeu d'exploration spatiale il y a spaceflight simulator 2 qui va sortir bientôt sinon il y a le 1 ### 1/5 — DID NOT LIKE VERY BAD *2025-06-27, version 23.08.22* It had random ads, everything cost real money, is hard to use, I did not like it at all, DO NOT DOWNLOAD ### 1/5 — Umm… *2025-06-27, version 23.08.22* I agree with what everyone else said. Not very enjoyable. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever *2025-04-22, version 23.08.22* I’m creators from making this I mean, what the heck is this guy? I am literally so so I mean 239 readings that is so bad. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever! *2025-04-19, version 23.08.22* I DO NOT LIKE that you can’t fly the ship while launching. ### 1/5 — No gameplay *2025-03-14, version 23.08.22* You just fly the shuttle around an empty planet. Can’t even land, you “burn up” even on the moon. Other planets have no moons. You have to watch a 60s advert every time you want to go anywhere. Honestly I spent more time watching ads than anything else as there is nothing to do at all apart from fly away/towards the planet ### 1/5 — Don’t get *2025-01-24, version 23.08.22* Pretty bad, lots of adds, not realistic ### 1/5 — Really really bad *2025-01-08, version 23.08.22* This game… just… I what ### 1/5 — READ THIS *2024-12-28, version 23.08.22* Low graphics Pay irl money for everything Can’t re-enter a atmosphere because you burn up You only start out with 1 space ship. UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — худшая игра 🤢🤮 *2024-11-24* Почему ракеты так много стоят это игра или нет ### 1/5 — 🤬🤬🤬not cool man *2024-11-20, version 23.08.22* I can’t do anything. Not cool ### 4/5 — Топливо *2024-11-03* Игра прикольная но топлива мало ### 1/5 — Nothing *2024-10-19* The only thing you do is move around and see planets. It isn’t even a game. Can we go to planets? And can you explore developer please notice this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — this does not make any sense *2026-07-10, version 25.08.11* the title says my review ### 1/5 — Sowy *2026-07-10, version 25.08.11* If you saw a comment with “try” at the end, that was me. It just kicked me out of the thing and sent it. So, yeah. App Store is a dud. But if you did see that I was going to say… someone else said this but try kerbal space program or space flight simulator. If you are on mobile(wait, this is the AppStore everyone is.) try spac flight sim or sfs for short. Ksp for the other for short. And ksp is on pc and I think… windows. Don’t blame me if I’m wrong. But Don’t get this game. Try SFS. ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-06-07, version 25.08.11* Whenever you fly with the shuttle your fuel runs out really fast and that’s not what happens in the real Atlantis mission and why would I pay for other spacecrafts when they do the same thing ### 1/5 — I’m still annoyed. *2026-06-01, version 25.08.11* Honestly, I’d rather buy spaceflight simulator (sfs) or ksp. They are way better than this monstrosity of a game. Sfs is also free, play that instead of.. this.. ### 1/5 — Big scam *2026-05-26, version 25.08.11* This app kicks you out when u click it ### 1/5 — All you can do is orbit planets. *2026-04-26, version 25.08.11* so, we cant re enter any atmosphere which is not realistic unlike SFS- i dont think you can even send anything into orbit like satellites so … 1 star, not good. ### 1/5 — You need to change the game *2026-04-19, version 25.08.11* Because you have to pay for airtime and it is my favorite rocket and I don’t want to pay ### 1/5 — У вас безвкусица какая-то *2025-11-08* Ваша игра вонючая во-первых мама игры во вторых не Мисси делать во вторых невозможно топлива мало ### 1/5 — Review *2025-09-30, version 25.08.11* There is no re entry or any cool effects. Seems like this app is. basically based on the launch cutscene. There isn’t even a view of the shuttle as it goes into space it just teleports ### 1/5 — Very bad only wamt money ads its faltu *2025-08-17* Dont download it its waste of data time better u go buy spaceflight simulator i am not telling ad i have that game and it is very good ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best game ever! *2026-04-05, version 25.08.11* It’s very fun to control the rocket.
