Maybe. ### 4/5 — idk *2026-02-07, version 1.15* this game is very nice but its way too hard for beginners ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-01-31, version 1.15* This game is amazing for many reasons because it is really realistic. I know how the starship doesn’t have all those windows on it but that is a future thing and it looks really cool. The future thing that’s what I mean by that is that it’s like SpaceX is planning to do it in the future. It’s true and all of the missions are really fun. I just wish there’s one thing I wish I wish it was a free flight mode and that’s it And I wish the super heavy booster was also in there. ### 5/5 — 我学会开火箭了 *2026-01-15* 他中间有东西能操控 ### 5/5 — 经常低头坠机 *2026-01-02* 作者，我很好奇，你这个是怎么搞的每次我从火箭基地发射的时候飞到一半，突然头朝下掉拉拉不起来，每次都没法发射成功，况且你的发动机飞到一半突然死机了，开也开不了 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Kinda TRASH *2026-08-17, version 1.15* The game hasn’t had an update in forever I need something new ### 1/5 — Ugggh *2026-07-14, version 1.15* Interested in star ship but can’t control ship ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-07-10, version 1.15* Cannnot get past the first level make a beginner mode ### 1/5 — Annoying person *2026-05-19, version 1.15* The person named Austin is really annoying play remove him from the game ### 1/5 — Невозможно управлять *2026-01-06* Чтобы летать нужно поворачиваться это невозможно 😡🤬🤬🤬😡🤬 ### 1/5 — Не понятное управление *2025-05-06* Зашёл,начал играть и тут без обучения бери и летай всё на английском не чего не понятно не возможно взлететь ставлю этому приложению 1 звезду!
